@Metal-Brain
Tell me, do you EVER post ANYTHING that you don't consider weaponized?

I post science stuff because I am permanently interested and curious about science.
ALL sciences, and if you don't believe that, look at the # of links I posted about some amazing things going on in the scientific world.

You on the other hand, could care less about developments in science, you are like a wolf pulling apart an old kill looking for ways to convince the world just how INCREDIBLY intelligent you are.

Hint: IT IS NOT WORKING.

But OF COURSE you will post yet another BS ultrarightwingnutjob site you think proves your point.

Too bad you have ZERO interest in actual science or new scientific developments, ONLY in weaponizing it for your own sick political agenda.

She talks about *both*, you dumbass. She says both are effective, but recommends PCR tests as a more accurate test. Her exact words, starting at the 0:20 mark:

"We do know that the most sensitive test is a PCR test", she then says that antigen tests "still works quite well". In other words, PCR tests work even better than antigen test, even though antigen tests already "work quite well".

You have no point here. Your own links refutes your arguments.
LOL!
You have no point.
If PCR tests are so good why did the CDC give up on them?

They gave up on them because they cannot distinguish between SARS2 and the flu. That means all those PCR tests that have been used for nearly 2 years have been counting the flu as SARS2. In other words, over counting.

The mystery is the disappearing flu has been solved. It didn't disappear at all. The PCR tests counted flu cases as covid, effectively inflating the covid case numbers artificially. That explains why we had so many cases, yet fewer deaths. They counted flu cases to inflate the numbers.

Antigen tests don't tell you what variant you have, but if PCR tests are better you should suspect the antigen tests cannot distinguish between SARS2 and the flu either. Can they or can't they? Can they do what the PCR tests cannot?

This was already answered. According to the CDC, they are moving in favor of tests that detect more than one type of virus instead of only detecting Covid. PCR tests are effective for detecting Covid, but not much else. A CDC link was provided to you saying this:

Hey Metal Brain: remember when you claimed that CDC rep said PCR tests gave numerous "false positives"? Even though the video in *your own* link utterly refuted your BS?

GFY.

You didn't quote the link.

Is CDC retiring the CDC 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel because it has produced inaccurate results?

No. There are no performance concerns with this test. The CDC 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel is a highly accurate test. It has been used to successfully detect SARS-CoV-2 since February 2020.

No more of your BS.

The PCR test is not accurate. Even your hero Fauci said so.

Your OP quotes a CDC link as a source; but when I quote CDC link that refutes you, suddenly they're not credible?

In this very thread, you posted a video where the person cited in it refuted you.

So two separate times, you argued against your own sources when they refute you. Something's wrong with you, buddy.


So stop using it even though it is accurate, got it.

Metal Brain logic at its finest.

Nope.

You made an assertion without a quote from the CDC link to back it up.
Once again, why did they discontinue the PCR tests?

I already answered that, with a CDC link, on the first page of this thread.

Yeah, a BULGARIAN site would really have the US at heart.

So did Putin personally give you that site?

This kind of thing proves you HATE the US and will go to ANY lengths to weaponize ANYTHING you think helps to get the US to fail as a democracy because you are so full of hate AND being stupid at the same time, not a good combination.

In other words, you are incapable of proving it wrong.
