RUSH: I want to read a headline to you. This headline is from one of my tech blogs, Ars Technica. Ready?
I’m just gonna read the headline and then I’m gonna go to commercial break. I’m gonna come back from the commercial break and I’m gonna provide you the details. But I think you’re gonna need this in two phases anyway. Are you ready? “The Centers for Disease Control’s Failed Coronavirus Tests Were Actually Tainted with the Virus — Tests provided early on by the CDC, according to a federal investigation, found that CDC…”
These are the best and the brightest. These are the experts. These are the people we cannot question. “[A] federal investigation found that CDC researchers were not following protocol and they released coronavirus tests that were actually tainted with the virus.”
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Here are the sad details, folks. “As the new coronavirus took root across America, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention sent states tainted test kits in early February that were themselves seeded with the virus, federal officials have confirmed. The contamination made the tests uninterpretable, and–because testing is crucial for containment efforts–it lost the country invaluable time to get ahead of the advancing pandemic.”
Well, you mean to tell me that the renowned experts, people who pontificate from on high and we can’t question, actually sent out coronavirus tests that were tainted with the virus? This story doesn’t even allude to the fact that maybe some people got the freaking thing from the tests or even the possibility of it?
“The CDC had been vague about what went wrong with the tests, initially only saying that ‘a problem in the manufacturing of one of the reagents’ had led to the failure. Subsequent reporting suggested that the problem was with a negative control–that is, a part of the test meant to be free of any trace of the coronavirus as a critical reference for confirming that the test was working properly overall.”
Look, I understand this focus on testing. I think antibodies are far more important ’cause you have to test everybody every day if you’re gonna rely on tests. Now, I understand they have some value. But like you could test me today and I could come up totally clear. What happens if next week I get the virus? What good is the test that they just ran on me the week before? That’d be true of anybody.
“Now, according to investigation results reported by The New York Times, federal officials confirm that sloppy laboratory practices at two of three CDC labs involved in the tests’ creation led to contamination of the tests and their uninterpretable results.
“Shortly after the problems became apparent in early February, the Food and Drug Administration sent Timothy Stenzel, chief of in vitro diagnostics and radiological health, to the CDC to investigate what was going wrong. According to the Times, he found a lack of coordination and inexperience in commercial manufacturing.”
The last I looked, Donald Trump has not been at the CDC. He was not there in early February conducting these tests. And the story says here it’s just tragic. Yes, it is.
This is why I will never get a flu shot, they are injecting you with the flu and hoping your antibodies fight it off. Since there are 19 strains of it, you can just catch strain 12 since you’ve already had strain 19. I will NEVER let Big Gov inject me or my kids with any mandatory vaccines. Colleges wanted my daughter to take some to live in the dorms, so she lives at home and goes to school on-line. I don’t trust you anymore, not that I ever did, but this is the end and I know I’m not alone!
Limbaugh: “What good is the test that they just ran on me the week before? That’d be true of anybody.”
A test showing you have antibodies shows that you have acquired immunity.
That’s one value of it. Another is to get a more accurate read on what percentage of the population have been actually been infected, thus to determine accurate mortality rates among those who have been infected. Trending information implies that the infection rate is extremely high and the mortality rates much lower than claimed. That can also have implications about when the virus started circulating.
Waiting so long to get reliable testing going is a significant failure. Those responsible within the CDC should be outed and dismissed.
...and when you think about it who has been more involved in “loosing trust in our institutions” than Sessions and Barr?
This is beyond incompetent. It needs to be investigated! How in the living hell does this organization not know they are spreading Corona virus? Name of the game, kill as many people to keep Trump from being re-elected!
‘The Centers for Disease Control’s Failed Coronavirus Tests Were Actually Tainted with the Virus.’
Give the those poor government workers a break. They probably had to give up their normal 20 hour work weeks and put in up to 40 hours during this crisis.
Boy, I hear yay! Has anyone from Washington D.C. gone to jail for anything besides Scooter Libby and Manafort? So many criminals in that town. The Obama’s, the Clinton’s, the Bush’s, and Nazi Pelosi make my list.
“This is why I will never get a flu shot, they are injecting you with the flu and hoping your antibodies fight it off.”
Only the nasal-spray version of the annual flu vaccine uses live virus, and it is attenuated. The flu shot does not have live virus, so you cannot get the flu from it.
Full story here
Your not allowed to post them on this site for some reason.
Just tried to post the full story
I was responding to JWashington99, who used as an excuse for not getting an annual flu shot that he didn’t want to take a chance on getting the flu.
Someone in my family just sent me an official form of ALL the vaccines their precious newborn ‘must have’......from the CDC
My heart hurts just reading this.
Multiple vaccines at one time.
They trust the CDC
Mercy
Would love to know how many chinee "Grad Students" were working at that lab?
These aren't mistakes at this point. This is war by other means, and we're not fighting back at all.
Is the scarf black and white?
Tie red! Nailed it!
Career government “workers” strike again. They likely will get “retraining” at zome resort setting over a couple weeks. Pathetic incompetence and non-caring about Citizens.
Did Dr. Robert Redfield or that RACUST Dr. FIZZY have ANYTHING to do with these tests????
Then what does it have in it that mitigates the flu ?
IIRC the test for the virus and the test for antibodies are two seperate and different tests.
These “tainted” tests are for the virus.
My Doc said the flu viruses are chopped up into little pieces and not a complete viral DNA strand so you develop antibodies but not the flu. At least that is what I thought he said - he’s a mumbler and I’m almost deaf.
That said 2 weeks after my first ever flu shot I got a really bad flu...
Except for the nasal spray version, flu vaccines use inactivated virus pieces that have surface proteins to which the body’s immune system reacts, producing antibodies. Here is more detail:
