CDC announced that the PCR test would no longer have it's emergency authorization at the end of the year. As I pointed out earlier if you used a CT of 25 instead of 35 or more over 70% of the positive cases would disappear immediately.  Think about that when the test is no longer being used and the media and Democrats start their victory lap.  35M cases magically becomes 11M cases in the U.S.  And what is the range of typical flu cases in the U.S. every year?  Between 9M and 45M....now let's imagine what this does to the number of deaths of people who allegedly "had COVID".  It would go from 627K down to 188K, which is a little higher than the average deaths from the flu in a year.  

Here is the alert.

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.

Expect the casedemic to go away once the PCR test is no longer being used.....just in time for the 2022 midterms.  We've all been scammed and the govt media complex will let them get away with it......I know, the least surprising aspect about all this.

It may be withdrawn, but appears to be replaced by another test.  Presumably they have learned something during this period and perhaps found a less unpleasant way to test.  No reason to think that there will be less cases, except as more people get past the conspiracy theories and get vaccinated.

Man, you are really grasping at straws.

Grasping at straws?!?!?  Not in the least.  Yes, the FDA will provide a list of the approved tests but the PCR test is the most widely used one in the U.S. by a large margin.  And the fact that 70% of the so-called positive cases would never have existed in the first place had they not used this test is not a straw....it is an astounding fact.  That you minimize its importance is what is astounding to me.  Do you realize that reducing the number of cases would have put this out of the definition of a pandemic?  Think about what has been done over the last 24 months in this country over a virus that wasn't even a pandemic.  

But I am more interested in the politics of this and remember you heard it here.  Once they eliminate the PCR test Democrats will be shouting from the rooftops that they saved the country by eliminating the pandemic......ya know, the casedemic they called a pandemic to get rid of Trump.  Mark my words and in the first quarter of 2022 prepare yourself for my "see I told you so" moment.
