The White House on Thursday said it had purchased 100 million rapid at-home COVID-19 tests with its “limited funding,” as the administration continues to call on Congress to pass more pandemic funds.

The Biden administration said in a press release that the 100 million domestically manufactured tests would be directed into the Strategic National Stockpile. White House officials had no further comment on the tests when reached by The Hill.

How do we know which variants will be detected with these home tests?

The shelf life of test kits generally varies among different manufacturers. For instance, the RapCov Rapid COVID-19 Test can be stored for eight months. Meanwhile, the shelf lives of two antigen tests, namely the BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Card and CareStart COVID-19 Antigen Test, were extended to 12 months after the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reviewed their stability studies.

“If one has to run a test to determine one is ill, then one is not ill.”

TESTS ARE NOT RUN TO TELL IF YOU ARE ILL.

TESTS ARE RUN AFTER YOU FEEL ILL TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF YOUR ILLNESS.

The biden money laundering crime family along with the Congressional sublords of the US covert operations teams have been temporarily stymied and have GOT to get rid of evidence . . .

I just got $350 dollars just for being an old guy that pays taxes.

Choose the scam that never did what it was supposed to do;

The war on Poverty,
911 First responders funds,
many Build The Wall determinations,
Covid relief,
and a lot more like et cetera's.

The White House on Thursday said it had purchased 100 million rapid at-home COVID-19 tests...

And from whence do they originate?

DoD Awards $647 Million in Contracts for Over-the-Counter COVID-19 Test Kits Sept. 17, 2021
DOD awarded a $109.8 million contract to Intrivo Holdings Corp. to purchase over-the-counter COVID-19 test kits. Deliveries of the 10 million test kits will commence October 2021 and ordering capability will continue until September 2022.

100 million at-home COVID-19 tests? Somebody is making BANK!

When "asymptomatic" as vocabulary was trotted out, the "event's" hysteria camouflage was stripped away.

Asymptomatic -- without symptoms -- means what it means, and says what it says.

The vendor: if you buy $100M in tests I will kick back $20M to the Democrat party. Why such a stupid purchase is taking place
