Scientists consider polymerase chain reaction, or PCR, tests a highly reliable tool for diagnosing COVID-19. But social media posts are misrepresenting a recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announcement regarding the eventual discontinuation of its own test, falsely claiming the government has conceded that PCR tests aren’t reliable.
In the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention developed and deployed its own polymerase chain reaction, or PCR, test to identify infections with the novel coronavirus (although its initial rollout was beset with some issues).
A year and a half later, the federal agency has notified labs that it will — at the end of 2021 — withdraw its emergency use authorization request for the test to the Food and Drug Administration, thereby discontinuing its use.
The agency in a July 21 notice recommended that labs use “one of the many FDA-authorized alternatives” and said it “encourages laboratories to consider adoption of a multiplexed method that can facilitate detection and differentiation of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses.” Such multiplex tests, including one from the CDC, can look for both the novel coronavirus and multiple types of influenza at the same time — which conserves testing materials and allows public health labs to do influenza surveillance while testing for SARS-CoV-2, or the virus that causes COVID-19.
But the CDC did not say it was no longer supporting the use of PCR tests in general, many of which have been authorized by the FDA — or that its original PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 can’t tell the difference between coronavirus and influenza — as viral posts spreading online falsely claim.

Good lord! “They” spend an awful lot of time doing spin control. I guess if no one in the media call them out on it, why not.

So that’s where the common ‘cold’ went.
Look what we started.....
But where did the flu go last year?
Oh my the scientists !
The same scientists that ignore how people can be protected inside buildings (For Decades now in hospitals) from viruses, bacteria and other pathogens.
UVC lights and temp / humidity control can make All buildings safe for very little cost.
Old technology that even the FDA publishes as effective against Covid 19 specifically.
So much dishonesty. So huge an impact.
VAXXers: if you’re right I can always get a shot later!
But if I’m right, you can’t get UN-shot EVER!
Except for the scientist who invented it!
Scientists consider polymerase chain reaction, or PCR, tests a highly reliable tool for diagnosing COVID-19.
STOP! THIS IS A LIE
It is the truth in this case
The spin cover up.
See especially the bit on PCR.
LOL “in this case” nope. PCR test creater said it was never meant to be used for such. Yet the CDC ramped it up way above proper level then reduced the level just after O’biden entered the Residency and then CDC continued to change how they counted deaths, cases, won’t give accurate truthfull numbers about vaxxed adverse events, now discontinuing PCR - unreal they would base the whole pandemic show on so much fraud, lies, deceit so many otherwise decent people sucked into and perpetuating the lies and deceit, and it’s a shame for your patients you think it is truth.
“Scientists consider”
Do you suppose any scientist defends his conclusions to other scientists, using the words “scientists consider”, ever? Which scientists? What makes them so infallible? Why should we believe them? It’s an asinine argument.
It is good for my patients you are not their doc.
