Scientists say they have identified a “stealth” version of Omicron that cannot be distinguished from other variants using the PCR tests that public health officials deploy...

This article shows either gross ignorance or malfeasance. The PCR test *never* distinguished between Covid variants. Differentiating variants requires genomic sequencing.

This is becoming hilarious. I can’t even be angry at the BS anymore. I’m just watching and enjoying the entertainment that the so-called scientists and experts shovel out to make everything scary.

My reaction too. Since WHEN did PCR tests ever distinguish between variants? They’re well known to product high false-positive rates, let alone be accurate on a variant.
It’s such BS when I hear specific numbers - as though they know with every test done, when in reality a full genome sequencing is required.

You do realize the idiocy telegraphed in that excerpt discredits both the article and the source wholesale, don’t you?
Then again, here we are...
