FDA issues emergency authorization for COVID-19 breath test
Axios ^ | April 14, 2022 | Axios

Posted on 04/14/2022 3:43:41 PM PDT by House Atreides

The Food and Drug Administration issued an emergency use authorization (EUA) Thursday for the first COVID-19 diagnostic test using breath samples.

What they're saying: “Today’s authorization is yet another example of the rapid innovation occurring with diagnostic tests for COVID-19,” Jeff Shuren, director of the FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health, said in the press release.

“The FDA continues to support the development of novel COVID-19 tests with the goal of advancing technologies that can help address the current pandemic and better position the U.S. for the next public health emergency," Shuren added. The big picture: The breathalyzer can provide results in less than three minutes, per the press release.

InspectIR, the company behind the test, "expects to be able to produce approximately 100 instruments per week, which can each be used to evaluate approximately 160 samples per day."

Our thought bubble, from Axios' Tina Reed: This breathalyzer — which returns either negative results or an unconfirmed positive test which would need to be confirmed with a PCR test — won’t totally replace the nose swabs. But it could help rule out cases.

As if anyone with any sense trusts, or, believes anything they’re putting out there.

They’ve been so right, about everything ScamDEMic, so far. Another FAIL.

🙄

I remember being in Canada many years ago, and there was some cop checkpoint and they stuck flasklight breathalyzers in my face.

Vax Papers, breathe, there is no please

I wonder what a mouthful of Crest Scope Classic Mouthwash would do to for that thing?

A unicorn sniffer that can only be confirmed by a faries, though it did confirm leprechauns whilst testing at the US Treasury, so it’s gotta work!

Great. Just another way they can pump the numbers way way up to lock our butts down before the mid-terms. Does anyone really believe this BS anymore? Oops. My bad...

This is the way that they plan to get a positive spike for the “gottahavemailinvoting” variant.

How the heck does the FDA issue emergency authorizations for anything in the absence of any emergency? Hospitalizations are way down and dropping. Deaths are way down and dropping. Biden’s approval ratings are...

Oh.

I get it.

Never mind.

I agree… there’s no longer an emergency… if there ever actually was one.

Just another fake test. Lets see it proven. The first 100 positive cases get sent to a lab and put under an electron microscope for identification.

Perhaps the breathalyzer will do instead to test for venom level, rather than amounts in sewer water or anal swabs.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Of interest to those researching.

“There has got to be more going on here than the virus.

There is a dog that is not barking.”

- From a FReeper posted.

- - - - - - - - -

The below video interview may answer many of the issues raised by the persons being pinged here.
Have had many of the same questions for two years now.

If the information in the video below, presented succinctly and with compelling detail by the interviewee, is accurate - as it appears to be - regarding what C19 is really, and from whence it came - it will simplify all personal decisionmaking considerably.

Caveat: Never really considered that snake venom could be involved, but it certainly does explain why so much antivenom has been pulled off the world market. Also, why specific nutrients are effective.

“WORLD PREMIERE: WATCH THE WATER FULL MOVIE”

https://rumble.com/v10miez-world-premiere-watch-the-water.html

A transcript of this video is needed. Because this new information so radical, decided that it was critical to watch again, and suggest doing same.

The visuals contained in this and the title seem to indicate spread by being placed into water supplies.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Note that the forecasts of c19 outbreaks are being predicted according to the amount of “virus” in the wastewater, and also recall that originally there was a fetish for the Chinese demanding that diplomats and others to tested by being swabbed anally, until the indignant resistance became sufficiently great.

Question here: can a “venom” be spread by touch contact as well as “viruses”? That is, could venom be rubbed onto an item, and then be received into the body . . . or transferred to the mouth? Is this a viable method of transfer?

Reason being, in an area of large Oriental tourism, including Chinese, many tourists and/or obvious nonamericans had been observed in restaurants and walmarts touching, handling - overly so - merchandise and food before and during the first breakouts.

Consider this worthy of investigation, for proof or disproof of this video’s POV.

Aside from the one question we are addressing here, the hypothesis presented of venom fits way too well for comfort.

N.

Yep.

They’re sure ramping it all up, aren’t they?

I hope this is being developed with private funds, with NO government subsidy or guarantee.

Why is it always for covid 19 when they keep making up all these new variants?

Snake venom has to be injected to cause problems, unless you have a bleeding ulcer, you can swallow venom with no effect

Claim by the interviewee that it was found that tasting venom could cause loss of sense of taste for up to 18 months.

Have not yet investigated claim. Any sources welcome, including personal experience of snake venom, bites, etc.

Yeah, I'm almost certain that pretty soon their going to be able to tell by your social media post and phone conversations whether or not you have COVID.. Or maybe just the look in your eye.... :(
