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. - CDC

Okay, then how do you interpret the statement above? Do you think the CDC is encouraging labs to adopt another test that can differentiate between CoV-2 and the flu because the PCR method is doing a fantastic job?

Did you also miss that the test will be in use until the end of the year? Kind of a weird thing to do if it doesn't work at all.

I posted the quote from the CDC. They don't say that they suggest labs moving to one test for both. They clearly say that they suggest labs moving to an FDA approved test that can tell the difference between CoV-2 and flu. If you have a quote that shows them elaborating on this further then by all means post it.



The CDC's announcement explains this as well. They said that they wanted to give labs time to explore alternatives, negotiate their terms, and implement an alternative as opposed to revoking emergency authorization for this one immediately, leaving them with nothing. Make sense?

Once PCR tests start to phase out, new positive tests will drop like a rock and Biden can claim victory!

What a waste

It's a democratic hoax

Delusions? I've haven't even posted much opinion, just quotes from the CDC.

I don't even see this as being particularly political. Not sure why you feel you have to defend PCR tests unless you played a part in creating it or something. Why would your feelings get hurt because the test that the CDC has been using isn't all that accurate?

Are you going to tell me that the medical community stopped tracking breakthrough cases for our benefit? Why wouldn't we want to know as much about how this virus behaves as possible, including who is being infected after being vaccinated?

Opening post sure looks opiniony. Wrong claim about tracking breakthrough infections as well.

Here is the test that is replacing the test that will be phased out. The old test only looked for Covid. It did not mis diagnosed flu as being Covid as sniper asserts. This knew test is meant to increase testing efficiency.

ALL of the covid numbers that were derived from those FALSE POSITIVE tests are STILL ON THE FUCKING BOOKS!

YOU ALSO LIED ABOUT THOSE TESTS BEING FIXED!

LIAR!

YOU CAN STILL GET THE EXACT SAME FLAWED TEST TODAY!

Also the article refers to a completely different test thank the one Sniper is in a tizzy about.

What little mind Gary once had, seems to be lost.

That doesn't really change anything. Now we have multiple tests that don't require emergency authorization. However, the PCR test is the one that was used for the majority of last year and the one that was used to justify the lockdowns, masking, etc. Many people have been saying all along that it was extremely flawed but it kept getting pushed out there anyway, inflating the numbers. What do you want to bet that as soon as start to retire it that the number of cases starts to fall?

My brother took 4 tests in a 5 day period; Positive, negative, positive, negative. Never so much as a sniffle. Sounds about as reliable as the 'facts' on 2ndlight.

Can anybody point me to where an mRNA vaccine has been successful in the past? Preferably with a study on the long term affects?

Rapid antigen test is less reliable in that it produces false negatives. PCR is more accurate.
