HUGE. CDC Withdraws Use of PCR Test for COVID and Finally Admits the Test Can Not Differentiate Between the Flu and COVID Virus

This is BIG NEWS.
On December 31, 2021, the CDC will withdraw the use of the PCR test for COVID testing. The CDC finally admitted the test does not differentiate between the flu and COVID virus.
Via the CDC website.

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.

This explains the disappearance of Flu cases in the US in 2020. It also inflated the COVID cases as Dr. Fauci and the DC elites knew would happen.

CDC Admits that the Covid Pandemic Was the Product of an Inappropriate Test - Europe Reloaded

TRENDING: PART 3: WE CAUGHT THEM: Deep State Operative Don Berlin Presented Bogus Election Dossier to President Trump, Now Jan 6 Committee is Using This to Claim Insurrection and Take Down President Trump

Via Europe Reloaded:

Quietly without media attention, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has withdrawn the PCR process as a valid test for detecting and identifying SARS-CoV-2.

“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.” Lab Alert: Changes to CDC RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2 Testing

The CDC admits that the PCR test cannot differentiate between SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses.

I reported several months ago that the “health authorities” had reached this decision but were withholding its implementation until the end of 2021. They needed the fake test to keep the fear going in order to achieve as much vaccination, and therefore as much profit, as possible.

It is extraordinary that the CDC’s withdrawal of the test received no attention from the media or politicians.

Dr. Kary Mullis, Nobel Laureate and inventor of the PCR process said several years ago that “the PCR is a process. It does not tell you that you are sick.” It was never meant to be a Covid test.

We should also pull all cancer tests because they can't tell you if you have a strep throat.

The point is that the pcr was designed to detect covid, not influenza. It was never a multiplex test.

So, what does this say about being tested for Covid and the Flu? They are two separate tests.
Click to expand...
Yes. There are now pcr that test for both simultaneously (multiplex) that have gone through full approval (not eua); hence stopping the eua for the old pcr because there are fully validated tests now available that can do both. The announcement clearly states that.

Nope. It was never meant to test for the flu. We have a plethora of tests already available to do that.

So basically, they now admit what was known months ago, the covid testing protocol is crap. At this point the CDC and it’s Doctors don’t know what to say. Before it was you have to test negative at the end of isolation, now it doesn’t matter because the PCR test can stay positive for up to 12 weeks?

All I know is that every time a member of my family has been tested, 2 tests were given. One for Covid and one for Flu. I thought that's the way all tests were given.

We have known pcr tests can remain positive for 3 months post infection for over a year now. Most of the time testing post infection has been antigen based which usually is negative after day 10 or so post onset of symptoms.

Soooo, if the test couldn’t tell the difference between the flu and Covid, it would seem to indicate -using old world logic- that people would have tested positive for Covid when they had the flu. But now using Faucian slide rule quantum mechanics, the reason for the announcement is mute because the test obviously worked for Covid no matter what else you were suffering from. Rightttt:hmm:
Well, now that we have that covered, I sure am glad that a test for cancer doesn’t tell me I have strep throat, or I have strep throat and it is really cancer. I think we need to get Fauci and the CDC to make that announcement too……:whistle:

If two separate tests are being given, I don't understand what the problem is with the Covid test not distinguishing between the two. If I'm tested for Covid and tested for Flu, and the Flu test comes back positive, but the Covid test is negative, I have the flu, not Covid, and vice versa......

Tests are available that only require a single swab now however.

That's what they did for me. They tested for 4 things with one swab.

They got the results within an hour or two. That was not the pcr test though, correct?

Doesn't it mean if the covid test was positive it could have been covid OR the flu? People could have been getting Tamiflu and treated for flu instead of on a ventilator and dead?

I would then think the Flu test would have been positive if it was the Flu and not Covid.

This has been posted before it is absolute rubbish that the PCR test cannot differentiate between Flu and Covid.

www.nebraskamed.com

PCR test recall: Can PCR tests tell the difference between COVID-19 and the flu?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) voluntarily recalled a PCR test they'd been using. The recall was not because the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test was inaccurate.
www.nebraskamed.com www.nebraskamed.com
As has been posted before the PCR test has been withdrawn, because it ONLY test for ONE virus. Flu test ONLY test for ONE virus. The new tests for multiple viruses, so the patient only needs one swab, not multiple swabs. Much better for the patient.

And this story is all over the internet, has been debugged in Snopes as well.
www.snopes.com

Did the CDC Recall PCR COVID-19 Tests Because They ‘Failed Full Review’?

Social media posts alleged the tests were revoked after receiving the “most serious type of recall.”
www.snopes.com www.snopes.com

And many other places as well for months now.

No, completely incorrect.

The pcr tested for covid and covid ALONE. It never tested for the flu. We have had flu testing for decades that we used in conjunction with the pcr test for covid. As noted by SouthernBreeze you are tested for both using 2 different tests.

There are now multiplex pcr tests that test for both on the same swab.

Oh I think I see the confusion we are all having.

The initial PCR tests for covid:. It seems that those tests could have been picking up influenza, but claiming a positive for covid. Meaning, it could not tell if the virus it was detecting was influenza or covid, and pegged it as covid.

The multifaceted testing is doing what you are saying by having a specific test for each influenza, and covid, and will tell you which you have.

Did I explain that correctly?

And about 25% of the time they can't test correctly for Covid!!!

If you go to the link there is much more information. such as...

In the Course of the Next FIVE Days the RT-PCR Test in the US will be Declared Invalid?
In a bombshell decision, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have withdrawn the insidious PCR test as a valid method for detecting and identifying SARS-CoV-2.
“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.”
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. (emphasis added)
It has taken them almost two years to recognize that the PCR test is flawed and invalid.

No. From the very beginning of Covid, my area medical clinics have tested for both Covid and Flu. Two different tests with two different swabs. It's not something new they've just come out with.

Not exactly.

The old pcr looked for covid only. It couldn't tell you if you also had flu or not. It only looked for the one thing. Initial presentation is very similar to influenza so we additionally test for that too--if the covid is positive and flu negative you have covid. Covid negative and flu positive you have the flu. Both positive you have both (I've seen this once in an 80+ year old female that walked out of the icu and off the vent 2 weeks after admission!).

But you threw in this paragraph which is the misunderstanding. This paragraph is totally incorrect.

No no no

THAT is what I was thinking is the reason we are getting confused. Thinking this.

I'm sorry. I am really not explaining my brain well.

I get what rondaben and southernbreeze are saying.

I understand the explanation now. I was trying to lay out why some are thinking what they are thinking.

I hope I am making more sense.

If the swab could not differentiate between the flu or covid that means that someone with the flu that took this test would pop for covid. Doctors would then treat people with the flu with covid protocols.
