White House Plans to Send 500 Million Coronavirus Tests to Americans Two Weeks After Mocking Idea
Breitbart ^ | 12/21/2021 | CHARLIE SPIERING

President Joe Biden will announce a plan Tuesday to send out 500 million coronavirus tests to Americans who want them, in his latest attempt to slow the spread of the virus.

The plan is a sudden turnaround from just two weeks earlier, when White House press secretary Jen Psaki mocked the idea in a press briefing. “Should we just send one to every American?” she asked a reporter sarcastically who asked if the Biden administration would consider sending out free tests.

“Then what — then what happens if you — if every American has one test?” she continued mockingly. “How much does that cost, and then what happens after that?”

I’ll bet they aren’t accurate and they intentionally cause people to panic.

Liberals always claim they are not going to do something just before they do it. It is the Liberal Head Fake. It is their only real move: Lie. Lie about what they are going to do by saying they are not going to do it, then do it. It confuses people as they think liberals are not going to do it.

A pathogen so disabling so have to be tested to see if you even have it?

Btw how many souls had the omi claimed in the US? Seems the media won’t report it. Is it that bad?

They're looking to up the numbers. Remember when President Trump said...stop the damn testing and the numbers will go down.

Here's the problem....this is all about Mail In Ballots and the 2022 election. Omicron appears to be spoiling their plans.

AND...If you test positive...stay put for a few days and tell no one except family.

So tests that would be available to sell to anyone who needs one Americans will be warehouseed and sent to Americans who do not need one.

‘this is all about Mail In Ballots and the 2022 election.’

of course; that is why half of western Europe is locking down their economies and alienating their populace...because they are so concerned about mail in voting in a midterm election in the US...

The tests are probably less than 60% accurate.

In today’s “education” that is an “A+”!

I think to get one you have to order it online.

Hearing them complain about the cost of the test is silly. The real problem is what happens when 2 million people freak out about the results!

I love science experiments!

“The tests are expected to be ready to deliver next month, “

Well after the peak in most areas. Herd Immunity will be achieved shortly.

The home tests worked for us. It also has the advantage of not generating a positive test result for the government numbers and “contact tracing”.

I had COVID but was never counted as a “case” because I used the home test when I had the active infection. I confirmed it later with an antibody test but that doesn’t help pad the active case number the media keeps parroting.
