FDA Now Warns Rapid COVID Tests Might be Invalid

It is interesting how the propaganda “fact-checkers” who have NO medical background went into panic mode to claim that the CDC did not mean what they said and desperately tried to spin it around. Claiming the CDC did not mean what it plainly wrote that the COVID tests cannot distinguish between the Flu and COVID was clearly political. Look at all the lockdowns, people forced into home confinement all over tests that are not valid. I previously wrote that I had a breathing problem so I did go to the ER in the hospital. They x-rayed my lungs and assumed I had COVID. They threw me into the COVID wing and then said it would take TWO COVID tests with negative results to get released. As I said, 5 tests later, all were negative. Yet based upon the x-rays, two doctors said that I had probably COVID and that the tests were INVALID. Now the FDA admits that the Rapid COVID-19 antigen tests may be less effective at detecting Omicron than earlier strains on the virus. Indeed, the PCR test is meaningless because it has never been standardized and compared to an isolated virus. If you read the fine print of the PCR test by Roche, it clearly states: “This test is not to be used for diagnostic purposes.” Kary Mullis, the inventor of the PCR test who was awarded a Nobel Chemistry Prize, said that “…with PCR, if you do it well, you can find almost anything in anybody.” Anyone who has dared to repeat Mullis’ comments is classified as “misinformation” and a “conspiracy theory” all because COVID has become political. This is no longer about health. The fact-checkers spinning this to maintain the medical tyranny are doing so for a political agenda and they could care less about the health of society. Biden has even lifted the travel ban on South Africa and the doctors there say that Omicron is extremely mild. Now even one British Court has ruled against the vaccines. We will NEVER know the truth until politics is banned from medicine.

Are these the tests Brandon got from China?

VACCINES DON’T STOP COVID HOSPITALIZATIONS OR DEATHS
They never have, even at peak effectiveness. A huge US database offers proof

https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/vaccines-dont-stop-covid-hospitalizations

Even at the peak of their protection earlier in 2021, Covid vaccines barely reduced the risk of hospitalizations in vaccinated people who had “breakthrough” infections, new data show.

Vaccinated people in a study published Tuesday had a nearly 1 in 200 chance of of requiring hospitalization for Covid in the first six months after being “fully vaccinated.”

That stunning risk came even though the median age of people in the study was only 51, and most were relatively healthy.

Deaths, ventilator use, and other severe outcomes also occurred regularly in vaccinated people. The data comes from a study of about 600,000 vaccinated Americans seen at over 100 academic medical centers.

The study was published online Dec. 28 in the Journal of the American Medical Association - JAMA Internal Medicine.

The data in the study also make clear how quickly vaccine protection fades after the second dose - and that the Centers for Disease Control hugely understated the number of vaccinated people hospitalized for Covid earlier this year.

Of the 600,000 fully vaccinated people, about 2,800 required inpatient hospitalization for Covid in the first six months after “full vaccination.” That period starts 14 days after the second dose of mRNA vaccines, when vaccine protection should be at peak.

Almost 3 percent of fully vaccinated people, or 1 in 35, were infected over the first six months, with infection rates accelerating sharply at the end of the study.

In all, 148 of the 600,000 vaccinated people had what the study’s authors called “serious” outcomes from Covid, including ventilation or death, in the first six months after full vaccination.

The study does not reveal how many people were infected or hospitalized for Covid after the first dose or less than two weeks after the second, when rates of infection, hospitalization, and death are known to be even higher.

The stunning figures are buried in a supplemental table of the study, which focused on the post-vaccination risk to a small group of people who have serious immune complications. The paper’s researchers compared infection, hospitalization, and death rates in about 35,000 immune-compromised people with about 570,000 who did not.

Like I said from the beginning of all this, they had no test that was accurate, and knew the tests they were using were invalid, yet they promoted and perpetuated their use. The invalidity of the tests was why I said from the start, that I would never get any Covid shot they tried to push. My specific comment here on FR was: “They don’t even have an accurate test for Covid, so why would I take a vaccine for it?”

They will try to pin the blame on Trump for Operation Warp Speed.

About 84 percent of the vaccinated patients were seen as outpatients, while 16 percent required hospitalization.

In comparison, about 77 percent of unvaccinated patients were seen as outpatients, while 23 percent were hospitalized.

Almost 1 percent of the vaccinated patients had serious outcomes, including death, compared to just over 2 percent of the unvaccinated patients.

So unvaccinated had double the deaths and bad outcomes versus the vaccinated

Last I looked 16% hospitalized is better than 23% hospitalized.

That was on the CDC’s website last year. Also on the website was that the antibody test would be positive if you recently had a cold. The test have never been accurate.

I have been feeling extremely under the weather, today is my fourth day. Last evening I bought a at-home covet test kit and the test turned out positive. Obviously I’m ill with something. I was thinking I just had about the flu. But again the test result came back positive.

Actually, the CDC publicly admitted the PCR doesn't work ...

OK, now finish the sentence. The PCR tests don't work to detect the flu virus because they were never designed to. They detect the SARS CoV-2 virus very accurately.

"Not at all. "The reported numbers were based on highly accurate laboratory tests," says Dr. Broadhurst. "The original test could detect the presence of SARS-CoV-2 with very high specificity," – meaning the test does its job very well.

A PCR test is an excellent identifier of COVID-19 cases, because of something called specificity. Basically, specificity means that the test is designed to only detect one type of virus. Dr. Broadhurst says, "The PCR test is validated against many different coronaviruses and common respiratory viruses, including influenza so that it would not give false-positive results." Meaning, researchers subjected the test to many different samples to see if it would give the wrong result. It correctly identified SARS-CoV-2 out of all of these samples."

Here's another source:

"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."

Want one more?

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.”"

The first time I saw the term “mudbloods” was used by a vax shill.

Don’t whine when it’s given back.

And so what? That means it's appropriate for all people vaccinated?

The "vax shill" that used that term was an idiot.

Good grief. A good example of how fractured conservatism is.

Full disclosure - I have not yet been vaccinated.

Influenza A just went through my family like wildfire! Four different households.
That is if you can trust any test out there these days.
