Where does it say it cant differentiate between flu and coronavirus? Its says they will have to use other multiplexed methods to differentiate between flu and covid now that they aren’t using the test.
Look, I know theres a slew of incoming “Muh Kary Mullis” comments on this one. But I think the PCR test does detect sars cov 2 well when its not abused and a positive pcr at lower amplification cycles is probably the best indicator for an early stage covid infection.
Leftists abused this test by misinterpreting it and misusing it. So now that they are banning it every midwit right winger will cheer “down with the evil PCR test hooray”
But they don’t do anything that doesn’t serve them. They are trashcanning this test because they are trying to manipulate actual covid data. They over used it, abused it to steal the election and shut down the economy. Now it is incovenient for them because it shows their leaky vax isn’t working at all. Now they will supress all covid cases that are inconvenient to them and the PCR is the only way to prove that SARS COV is present. Inconvenient information.
This is not good. The rules imposed and the conclusions drawn from PCR were the problem, not the PCRs themselves. This is a symptom of more fuckery. Save the “vindication” — they are up to something.
Quite right. They're only scrapping it because high positive test rates are now damaging to their narrative that the vaccine is necessary. They've generated the fear they wanted, now they have to show that they can 'fix' things and protect us from variants in perpetuity.
"CDC encourages laboratories to consider adoption of a multiplexed method that can facilitate detection and differentiation of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses"
That's a long way of saying "PCR tests can't tell them apart".
No it isn’t. Not at all. A pcr that is looking for sequences common in coronavirus but not influenza is not likely to confuse the two.
A multiplexed method is going to look for flu like symptoms, lung xrays, — ie less definitive methods of diagnosis for a particular virus. Thats why they are talking about differentiation. Its harder to differentiate between viruses when you take away the test.
When it’s not abused, it’s a good indicator that further testing is required. That’s the key.
The way it was being run, it was guessing with a slightly loaded pair of dice, except every face but one was positive.
