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

Question is, how honest will they be about the new tests, and whether they work, or what they may show? What if they begin to show a huge decrease in numbers of cases than what has been c,aimed for 2 years now? They gonna be honest and report the true num ers if the tests show a massive decline in cases?

Sure.

It’s just going to be “proof “ that the vaxes and masks and mandates worked, so they can be used next time with more willing compliance.

What's your explanation? That the PCR tests were falsely identifying the flu virus as Covid?

You totally don't read my posts, do you? I said that two, maybe three times just on this thread alone. Is this why you don't understand things? Cause you just don't read them?

Since the PCR tests are one hundred percent bogus, AND can't tell the difference betwixt covid and flu, AND the derps wanted to cause the cattle to stampede for all kindsa bad reasons, YES, the PCR tests were 'reported' as covid when in all likelihood, they were the flu.

If not every time, then beaucoup times. Add a healthy dollop of media stoked fearmongering and that was enough to put us where we are now, with a retarded fake President and all the attendant drama that goes with it, including a heathen Chinee under every bed. Right down to little internet derp bugs infesting real people's social media *looking at you*.

But according to the derp bugs, the flu disappeared cause people washed their hands more and stuff.

Your jig is up, vaxxy. You need another gig.

I said that two, maybe three times just on this thread alone.

Again, I didn't think you could be serious.

Here's a source:

"How do we know COVID-19 cases aren't actually influenza?
Every PCR test must be validated, meaning checked for its sensitivity and specificity. The Nebraska Medicine PCR test has been extensively vetted with multiple ways of validation.
Dr. Broadhurst explains, "At the beginning of the pandemic, we went through a very rigorous process. That includes demonstrating the specificity of the test to exclude anything that may cause a false positive."
Dr. Broadhurst, microbiologist Paul Fey, PhD, microbiology fellow Hannah Creager, PhD, and other experts worked together to ensure a trustworthy test. To ensure specificity, they tested clinical samples and also used databases of genetic sequences.
Our researchers took clinical samples from before Nebraska had community spread of COVID-19 and ran the samples through the test. These clinical samples included known results of influenza and other common viruses. The PCR test reported negative on all of them, which makes sense.
Researchers also looked through large databases of viral genetic sequences – the building blocks of a virus. That way, they ensured the PCR test only picked up a piece unique to SARS-CoV-2 and not another coronavirus or influenza. "Comparing these genetic sequences means we can avoid cross-reactivity," says Dr. Broadhurst."

Think those nice folks at University of Nebraska are in on The Conspiracy? How about these guys?

"But the lab alert does not mean the CDC’s test cannot differentiate between covid and the flu.
In fact, the CDC’s 2019-nCoV RT-PCR test was developed to look for the presence of a nucleic acid found only in the covid virus, said Kelly Wroblewski, director of infectious disease programs at the Association of Public Health Laboratories.
“It is not remotely accurate that the CDC test doesn’t differentiate between flu and SARS-CoV-2. It doesn’t detect influenza. It only detects SARS-CoV-2,” said Wroblewski. “If flu and covid are both circulating, you would be able to detect only SARS-CoV-2 and not flu.”"

Oh, "Kaiser", you say. "Those guys have been trying to turn us into lizards for years."

Well, here's another:

"confirming a case of COVID-19 depends on the detection of genetic material from the virus on the patient’s fluid by PCR. These PCR tests are specific to SARS-CoV-2 and do not detect other coronaviruses or the influenza virus, which comes from a completely different family of viruses."

Knowing you're impervious to information I expect you to wave your hands and come up with some reason to reject these, and the next five I could send you, so I'll simply ask, do you have a source, not based on a childish misinterpretation of the CDC's statement, with evidence the PCR tests falsely identify the flu virus as Covid?

"You can be sure if it is from Gateway Pundit that is it a misinformation. Gateway Pundit will post absolutely anything to get clicks."

Misinformation? Fixated on trolling? Chinese unicorn attention-whore? Failure to consider previous posts publically published?

""I got the Pfizer vaccine" - Qilin

"In my family we’ve had 8 people between 20 and 30 get vaccinated"" - Qilin

"My family (wife, son and myself) are all recovering from COVID. Also, have about 12 other people in my extended family who recently contracted it. I’ve been married for 20+ years and never seen my wife that sick." - Qilin

"My wife and I, however, were very sick for 4-5 days." - Qilin

"I think most of you people have just about completely lost your marbles about Anthony Fauci." - Qilin

"Please tell me exactly how Fauci profited?" - Qilin

"My sister-in-law has a PhD in Pharmacology and works at one of the big COVID-19 vaccine developers." - Qilin

What?

Wouldn’t you expect something described as a COVID test to be able to identify COVID and distinguish it from something that isn’t COVID?

Why do you feel that this expectation is stupid?

I don’t understand the VM/barometer reference. Of course those two instruments measure different things.

Wouldn’t you expect something described as a COVID test to be able to identify COVID and distinguish it from something that isn’t COVID?

Yes, and that's exactly what the PCR test does. It identifies the presence of genetic material from the SARS CoV-2 virus. And it does it very well.

What it doesn't do is identify influenza or any of the other thousands (millions?) of viruses floating around out there.

Why do you feel that this expectation is stupid?

The stupid part is expecting it to also identify, or differentiate from, influenza. This test neither knows nor cares about the flu.

Of course those two instruments measure different things.

Exactly, and to expect a Covid PCR test to identify influenza is like asking my thermometer to measure the current coming from an outlet.

One tool (covid PCR test) does one thing, the other tool (influenza PCR test) another.

The inventor of the test said they were not made to test people for covid. He died a couple months back.

I'll simply ask, do you have a source, not based on a childish misinterpretation of the CDC's statement, with evidence the PCR tests falsely identify the flu virus as Covid?

Yes. The lack of flu cases.

Next question.

And they compounded their sin by contending the flu was practically nil during the “pandemic”. Vile, evil monsters!

I don’t think the PCR test does, and “does well” what you say it does. This will come out, don’t worry.

Now you and I both know how it was presented to the public. It was presented as I described. It is disingenuous for you to then go and call the public “stupid” for believing that way.

Your analogy is disingenuous in the same way. It is intentionally taken to an extreme to insult, bully, and shut down opposition.

I know people that argue this way. They and I rarely agree on anything.

I won't worry but I won't hold my breath either.
