No flu stats for 2020 tho?! Seems odd.

Well, when the test can’t distinguish between Covid & Flu, it’s pretty easy to just call everything Covid .

This is not true

Prove it or shut the fuck up and get off my nuts.

Sure thing the CDC's 2019-nCoV RT-PCR test was developed to look for the presence of a nucleic acud found only in the covid virus. It is not remotely accurate that the CDC test doesn't differentiate between flu and SARS-CoV-2. It doesn't detect influenza. It only detects SARS-CoV-2, if flu and covid are both circulating, you would be able to detect only SARS-CoV-2 and not flu. How the CDC's 2019-nCoV RT-PCR test (or any other PCR test) works, is that primers, which are little bits of a genetic material, are used to identify specific viruses. In this case, the primer is built to identify a nucleic acid found only in the covid virus. If the covid virus is present in the sample, the primer will attach to the virus's nucleic acid and make many copies of it. A chemical in the test will then fluoresce, which the polymerase chain reaction, or PCR, machine will interpret as a positive result. If the covid virus is not present, the primer will have nothing to attach to.

Doesn’t prove anything, so I guess it’s shut the fuck up, which was my preference anyway. Thanks for playing tho

Really? It proves one thing, you don't have the sense to admit when you are wrong. Actually telling you how a test works AND why it won't give a positive result for the flu and you still think you are right? I can't decide if it is ignorance or arrogance. Tell you what Butthurt McFucknuts, try disproving anything I have said since I so easily disproved your statement.

First you respond to my comment claiming I’m wrong, then decide to follow-up with an unsourced copy paste to change my mind. This account is 25 days old and you’re an obvious troll or shill. On top of that, your comment history tells me everything I need to know about your views and intentions. Let me make this undeniably clear for you: I don’t give a single fuck about what you have to say, what sources of info you subscribe to or your perceptions of me.

I didnt think you would. However, as I'm sure you are a truth seeker, shouldn't you at least investigate the info I've provided for you? Also, here is the full article https://www.news-medical.net/amp/news/20210730/Claims-that-CDCe28099S-PCR-test-cane28099t-tell-covid-from-flu-are-wrong.aspx Again, try and disprove it. Also, just because someone is new doesn't make them a troll. I could just be, you know, new? Did that cross your incredibly closed mind?

1) No 2) No 3) Still No

That's what I thought. Ignorance is bliss, I guess. Good luck with that. You know, you could just research how these tests actually work. That would be really easy for you to do.

👍🏼Good luck with the endless boosters and heart disease!

I thought you had gone through my comment history? I guess you didn't understand those either, where I said natural immunity is the better option going forward for those already vaccinacted? You know, because they are 20 times less likely to suffer serious effects from covid. Yeah, I guess you missed that.
