SOURCE — CDC ALERT

https://www.cdc.gov/csels/dls/locs/2021/07-21-2021-lab-alert-Changes_CDC_RT-PCR_SARS-CoV-2_Testing_1.html

Audience: Individuals Performing COVID-19 Testing

Level: Laboratory Alert

After December 31, 2021, CDC will withdraw the request to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) of the CDC 2019-Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel, the assay first introduced in February 2020 for detection of SARS-CoV-2 only. CDC is providing this advance notice for clinical laboratories to have adequate time to select and implement one of the many FDA-authorized alternatives.

Visit the FDA website for a list of authorized COVID-19 diagnostic methods. For a summary of the performance of FDA-authorized molecular methods with an FDA reference panel, visit this page.

In preparation for this change, CDC recommends clinical laboratories and testing sites that have been using the CDC 2019-nCoV RT-PCR assay select and begin their transition to another FDA-authorized COVID-19 test. CDC encourages laboratories to consider adoption of a multiplexed method that can facilitate detection and differentiation of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses. Such assays can facilitate continued testing for both influenza and SARS-CoV-2 and can save both time and resources as we head into influenza season. Laboratories and testing sites should validate and verify their selected assay within their facility before beginning clinical testing.

This is causing confusion

1)are they saying that the PCR test were giving false positives because of the flu?

2) or are they saying just make sure the new testing can?

Number 2 is “Duh” so why even mention it unless number 1 was true?

That includes Plug’s multi billion $ load of home test kits that just arrived from the CCP.

It looks like covid is now a net negative for the Democrats and is impeding rather furthering their agenda. The pandemic must now end

Because the Feds need to cover for Jao Bai-din and the increasing infections among those who got the Jim Jones Jab.

They're also covering for Jao Bai-din refusing the advice to order more tests back in October.

Somebody couldn’t agree on the proper accommodation ($). I have absolutely no faith in the CDC or the FDA.

It’s PANIC time.

OmigodCron, doubling daily, is either sniffles or symptomless (yeah, right).

Herd immunity was never going to be reached with the vaccines, so it’s time for omiGodcron to get us to that promised land of immunity.

Its all pure covid theater. People are acting on their feelings, politics, dreams and financial incentives - and calling it “science.”

So, aren’t people supposed to be subjected to a “test” kit funded and developed by Gates and Fauci? Or am I mixing this up with something else that was reported earlier in 2021?

The PCR shouldn’t be eliminated. It should be run along WITH the proposed replacement. Doing so will allow the already recorded “cases” to be adjusted to the error range revealed by the new test. We deserve an accurate accounting.

First you get the vaccine.
Then you get the test.
Then you find out the test isn’t FDA-approved.
Then you find out the vaccine doesn’t work.

So you get a booster...
...(Repeat the process.)

“It looks like covid is now a net negative for the Democrats and is impeding rather furthering their agenda.”

The Democrats aren’t getting away with this just by “changing the subject.” They had better start throwing bodies out the WH front door, starting with Anthony Fauci’s.

Who Is On First? Covid! Common Cold! This year's Flu!

Just in time for Brandon's latest payment to his ChiCom overlords for a few billion PCR tests arriving soon, just for you and I!
