The CDC in a 'Lab Alert' has admitted that the FDA has dumped all over its junk PCR test because it gives false positives for COVID-19 when the patients actually have been infected the flu influenza viruses.
"In preparation for this change, CDC recommends clinical laboratories and testing sites that have been using the CDC 2019-nCoV RT-PCR assay select and begin their transition to another FDA-authorized COVID-19 test. CDC encourages laboratories to consider adoption of a multiplexed method that can facilitate detection and differentiation of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses."
Did you ever wonder where flu cases from this year's flu season went? Well now you know, they were reported as COVID-19 cases and used to justify locking you and yours down.
The headline matches, exactly.
It’s a paper, and an excerpt, from that paper, also matches.
Now, and all along, the correct measurement is Excess Deaths.
20-25% more 65+ year olds died last year of all causes than in a typical year. About 20% of those were the official Covid count, which undoubtedly had some rare errors in it. In fact, since the number is 25% excess deaths, there was likely undercounting of Covid deaths.
And no, don’t stand up and wave your hands about flu deaths disappearing. They would be in the typical year numbers. We still were 25% higher last year.
There’s a simple interim solution. Administer the rapid flu test FIRST before testing for WuFlu.
And BTW, if the excuse for requiring masks was “we eliminated flu season with the mask mandate,” well, this cuts the legs from under that fake news.
And for every city/county/state/country calling for a new mask mandate, the FIRST question should be “point us to the science that proved this is not simply safety theater.”
Sorry, this means the opposite of what you think it does. The previous tests were for Covid only. If you had the flu they wouldn’t tell you anything.
There are new tests that simultaneously test for both the flu and Covid. Those are better as in one test it can tell you what you have.
***
BTW if anyone actually reads the article they will see it says nothing about trashing anything, and it is a non urgent thing. It is a notification to labs that they should transition to one of the many other FDA Covid tests rather than the RT PCR, and there’s no need to do it until Dec 31, 2021, which is when CDC will end the EU authorization for RT-PCR.
The FDA’s molecular assay method also uses a nasal swab.
So basically all the numbers on CCP virus infections and deaths are bogus. That’s some real science and data they have there. But it works good for the brain dead who worship at FauxChi’s little feet.
With the aging boomer generation (56 to 75 years old) along with the fact that a lot of them really didn’t take care of themselves when they were younger (sex, drugs,and rock n roll) the increase of deaths does not surprise me

Two counties in California reanalyzed death certificates and lowered the number of deaths attributed to COVID by at least 22%. One infectious disease expert believes the CDC may soon ask all counties to recount their data
Recommendations to add COVID if it was suspected even though not confirmed to the death certificate, financial incentives for hospitals and inaccurate PCR testing are among the factors that supported inaccurate data reporting
The main reason excess deaths for 65+ are up 25% is because of DELIBERATE killing of elderly in nursing homes by blue state bureaucrats FORCING WuFlu infected patients from hospitals into nursing homes. In addition to the lockdowns that prevented families from even being able to check on and help their elderly relatives in the same nursing homes. EVERYONE knew these decisions were insane when implemented and were a death sentence for the MOST VULNERABLE at risk groups. There would not be excess deaths if govt had NOT made the situation worse with their insane POLITICAL DICTATES that had NO BASIS in ANY true science or medical reality. Everything that has been revealed in the last year shows the real disease is big govt. Even now, big govt is doubling down on their POLITICAL DICTATES to try to kill even more citizens, only now it is targeting the LEAST AT RISK young groups with their insane vax ‘therapy’ and using punitive measures to FORCE compliance. Big Govt IS THE DISEASE!
Shocked I tell you......
Most of the elderly had multiple(obesity, diabetes mellitus, alcohol abuse liver/organ damage, kidney damage, lung damage, substance abuse) co-morbidities! And early treatments were withheld!
Exactly.
They will say the number of actual COVID infections was far less, but the number of COVID related deaths was the same. Therefore, COVID is actually more lethal than we thought.
How do you know that your 6 dead friends died of COVID, the PCR test from the CDC? You were "told by others" what they supposedly died of and it is almost a certainty that they used the CDC PCR test that the FDA said was crap.
I know it is hard for a mark to admit that he has been conned but get over it and stop drinking the Kool-Aid.
Grab a hard hat...watch for falling “cases”!
There are new tests that simultaneously test for both the flu and Covid. Those are better as in one test it can tell you what you have.”
You say that these are “new” tests but they are not the one that are mostly used. In the CDC lab alert from my post says that the CDC test can be used until December 31, 2021 which is 5 months from now.
Where did the flu go?

Perhaps you want to be fooled or just to fool us.

Here is my direct quote from the article:
“In preparation for this change, CDC recommends clinical laboratories and testing sites that have been using the CDC 2019-nCoV RT-PCR assay select and begin their transition to another FDA-authorized COVID-19 test. CDC encourages laboratories to consider adoption of a multiplexed method that can facilitate detection and differentiation of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses.”
The title of the post is accurate and I did not check “this is an except” so I can spell out what the government doc did not say out loud by referencing the CDC quote.
And you couldn't have botched it worse had you tried.
The CDC is withdrawing an old, single-purpose RT-PCR test for Covid. The test was developed very early on and was only used to test for Covid. It never mistook the influenza virus for SARS CoV-2.
The CDC is retiring the test because there are many other FDA-approved options now available that can identify multiple virus, like coronavirus and influenza, from one sample.
