Can you image what the left wing mediots would be doing if Trump pulled this B$?

Grampa Dave :” Just in time for Brandon’s latest payment to his ChiCom overlords for a few billion PCR tests
arriving in America, soon just for you and me!”

Exactly !
You have to wonder if “the Big Guy” gets his 10%.

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

The retiring of the CDC's COVID Diagnostic Panel (but not PRC tests for COVID in general) was announced back in August. This has nothing to do with the performance of the test. Here's the announcement:

08/02/2021: Lab Alert: Clarifications about the Retirement of the CDC 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCov) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel

CDC is retiring the CDC 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel because the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has authorized hundreds of other SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic tests, many of which are now higher throughput or can test for more than one illness at a time. At the time CDC deployed the 2019-nCoV Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel, there were no other FDA-authorized methods available within the United States.

CDC began distributing the CDC 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCOV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel to fill a gap. The wide availability of other SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic tests means that the CDC 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel is no longer filling an unmet need. Retiring the CDC 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel will allow CDC to focus its resources on public health surveillance testing and other response activities.

Is there a test that doesn’t have a disclaimer at the bottom saying it isn’t meant to definitively show presence or absence of the awesome and terrifying dread disease? (Even though that’s what they use it for) A week ago the test they gave me to confirm Covid-19 said that and the one they gave me yesterday to show the great leprosy has cleared said the same thing.

It would be hilarious if they spent 250 bucks to find out they had the flu, but losing sense of smell and taste is not a flu symptom..the brother in law is the only one who has that..I thought there was a way to find out what variant of rona you have, like you can ask the place who did the testing since they send it to the state, to email what variant a person had, just out of curiosity

The standard epidemiological interpretation is: known +!exposure and + symptoms- a positive test is accurate; known + exposure + symptoms with a neg test probably inaccurate and if there is high rate of transmission in community during that time, EVERYTHING considered positive. That literally is how epidemiologists at department of health interpret

“One should remember that it is very unusual for people in their 20s and 30s to get very ill from coronavirus unless they are fat and sick from other things.”

Exactly! I probably passed the original crud to a Grandson in his early during a Christmas gathering in 2019.

He had some minor crud, symptoms and missed a New Year’s lunch and was okay 2 Jan 2020.

This is simple fraud. The leading public health bureaucracy in the world, proclaiming themselves as true prophets of the Science are nothing but scamsters.

No more use of this phony test to publicize phony “spikes” and “surges” or phony breakthrough “cases”.

The funniest part about all of this is:

We have been given nothing but useless - inaccurate information from day one.

We are still pontificating away as if we know everything.

Yep! Or “asymptomatic COVID” - really a false positive

Then like you say, they get it for real then it’s “Oh noes, you can get it over and over again!”

Fauci had to have a belly laugh when the news was breathlessly reporting this.

Hey Ransomnote. I know you're busy educating the vaxtards. I'll accept all apologies from them for calling you everything but a white man when you tried to tell them this over and over and over again.

Okay line up right here, boys.

> I wonder if NPR will report this?

The CDC reported that the CDC PRC test (but not PRC tests for COVID in general) would be retired back in August. Here's is the announcement:

08/02/2021: Lab Alert: Clarifications about the Retirement of the CDC 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCov) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel

According to this announcement, this decision was motivated by the fact that many other tests are now available that are higher throughput and can test simultaneously for multiple conditions (i.e. COVID and influenza.) It had nothing to do with the performance of the CDC's test.

A list of authorized tests for COVID can be found this page at the FDA. Most of these appear to be PCR tests.

that statement blows a huge hole in the stats we knew where bogus from the start. It’s lie after lie which resulted in people dying, folks injecting themselves with an untested chemicals, getting fired from their jobs, and a host of other issues and ailments caused by the lock downs and masking, etc such as suicides, loss of businesses, mental issues, on and on and on.

The good people of this country cannot let these politicians get away with this travesty. We must hold them accountable starting with Faccui and Biden.

“the 6 yr old already got the flu shot I know its worthless but should at least give some sort of protection I would think!”

I wouldn’t count on it. My wife and I had the 2 Pfizer shots and still apparently/maybe got this variant. In a few days, we were basically okay with some hot and cold flashes during the night.

One of our sons had both Moderna shots and got his booster. Then he had apparently this latest variant, and he had some problems and missed close to 2 weeks of work.

So, hopefully, the 3 of us now have a good load of Natural Immunity.

So, the PCR test is as accurate as the voting machines that gave The Bidet the stolen election?
