You have also mischaracterized me as an “anti-vaxxer” when nothing could be further from the truth. I have been a vaccine promoter for my entire adult life. For many years I volunteered using my bus driver CDL at multilevel care facilities to drive old folks to places where they could get their flu shots.
If you are brain dead enough not to be able to read between the lines of the government agency piece that you linked to... there really is nothing that I or anyone else will ever be able to do for you. In this past year many thousands of people were told that they had Covid when they actually had the Flu. That is indisputable. And according to data released by the CDC there were 646 deaths relating to the flu among adults reported in 2020, whereas in 2019 the CDC estimated that between 24,000 and 62,000 people died from influenza-related illnesses. And people such as yourself find that believable?
Unfortunately, people who are very nearly brain dead do not have enough common sense to properly process the information that the government and mainstream and social media allows us to have access to. As a result we end up with people such as yourself who believe that they are knowledgeable posting nonsense or cleverly written propaganda which mixes truth and fiction to leave a false impression.
As a long time vaccine proponent my chief concern is that in the future many millions of people will die from fully preventable diseases. People will not trust or take fully vetted and effective actual vaccines that are known to save lives. The vaccines that are currently being forced on the public were designed to combat a form of the virus that causes Covid that essentially no longer exists. They have no value against the current variants despite having far more serious injury and deaths associated than all other vaccines combined in the last 30 years.
DugwayDuke congratulations, you have let propaganda and misinformation turn you into a tool of the left and the Biden administration.

More falsehoods. The current vaccines have reduced effectiveness against the delta variant but they are still effective.

Furthermore, the link you posted clearly states that CDC recalled the PCR test, not because it couldn’t tell the difference between flu and covid, but because the new test would test for both simultaneously saving time and money. The old test could tell you if you had the flu if it was structured to test for the flu. It could tell you if you had the covid if it was structured to test for the flue. IOW, it could test for one or the other but not for both at the same time.
