CDC Withdraws Use of PCR Test for COVID and Finally Admits the Test Can Not Differentiate Between the Flu and COVID Virus

After December 31, 2021, the CDC will withdraw the use of the PCR test for COVID-19 testing. The CDC finally admitted the test does not differentiate between the flu and COVID virus.

Via the CDC website:

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. Such assays can facilitate continued testing for both influenza and SARS-CoV-2 and can save both time and resources as we head into influenza season.

This explains the disappearance of Flu cases in the US in 2020. It also inflated the COVID cases as Dr. Fauci and the DC elites knew would happen.

Been posting this for a week now- they can’t tell if you have a variant or not, so all,these breathless claims of “alarming Increases in omicron cases” claims are apparently nonsense. Evidently say can’t tell if it’s flu or covid or a variant

“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace in a continual state of alarm (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing them with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”
– H.L. Mencken (1880-1956)

That explains why there was no flu last year.

The POS “test” gets positive reads on coffee and cola.

And the chicken littles go into a scratching frenzy.

Just more proof that the flu didn’t disappear in the 2020, the PCR test was purposefully designed to Have the flu test as positive for Covid to fan the hysteria.

[[This explains the disappearance of Flu cases in the US in 2020. It also inflated the COVID cases as Dr. Fauci and the DC elites knew would happen.]]

And it may account for many of the numbers of folks who died- not covid, which evidently were all lumped in together

If this is true, I really hope,the truth becomes known and the lies exposed in such z way that the left can’t run from them or cover them up with some asinine false explanations

I remember way back when covid was first around the cdc claimed they couldn’t differentiate between flu and covid, and now 2 years, apparently they still can’t!

But by golly, “Trust the Science”

My sister took her two kids to get the 1 hour PCR test on Sunday(Since the 16 month old started having fever Friday night) paid 250 bucks a piece for it(To get results within 30 min) both kids came back positive..so what does this all mean, they dont have rona after all? The father got it on the exact same day the 6 yr old started having high fever(Sunday night) 102, 103, the father cant taste or smell anything so I guess its rona

They did this months ago. The PCR test has become much more useless with the Omicron “variant” which is likely not a descendant of the original Fauci/CCP virus but is a variety of the common cold that causes a positive PCR result.

Many hospitals will try to talk clueless people with few symptoms but co-morbidities into spending a few nights where they can pick up something that actually will kill them. Would you like a bit of respiratory MERSA, medication resistant TB, or just plain old useless therapies that often end in death.

These devices work, they were just not designed to do this particular job...they cannot discriminate between variants at all.

And if you crank up the cycles enough it will say anything tests positive. If you use a reasonable setting the device can tell if you have ‘something’

this has been end-to-end BS...…

the PCR tests were discredited a year ago. the inventor said this is not what they’re for in the first place...

run at high enough cycles and damn near every test would be positive.

..and new variant - I don’t recall hearing/reading about different tests for the variant du jour....

so how does anyone know which variant is the culprit? every swab tested individually to determine?

I don’t think so...

Now we all know our govt sold out and big pharma has ZERO liability on vaccine side effects and deaths.

But do these bad tests have any immunity ?

Can citizens that shell out $$$, sue, now that we know the tests are useless ?

CDC late in the game, though they had a longer agenda.

The W.H.O. denounced the PCR test on Jan 20th 2021 just after Plugs was sworn in (Orange Man gone).

This also explains why some people are claiming that they had Sars Covid-19 twice.

The first time they tested positive, they actually had influenza.
