CDC Director Drops Bombshell Calling COVID Testing Protocol Into Question – Opinion

CDC Director Rochelle Walensky made a stunning comment on “Good Morning America” today.

 

The newly updated CDC guidelines don’t require testing at the end of isolation because PCR tests can stay positive for up to 12 weeks, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky told “Good Morning America” Wednesday. “So we would have people in isolation for a very long time if we were relying on PCRs,” Walensky explained.

Wait, what?

So you mean that the tests aren’t accurate to tell if you still have the virus now? And that you’re just telling us that they might throw positives for up to 12 weeks, even after you might no longer be contagious? We are hearing this only now from the CDC. This has been known for years. These tests have been used by many businesses and individuals to make decisions. They’ve factored into restrictions and lockdowns, and now we hear that they may not be accurate? Hence, why was so much constructed around them?

So they’re just eliminating the need for testing after isolation? How do you know then when you are no longer contagious if you’re now telling us the tests aren’t a good indicator? Then what you’re saying is that you’re just picking a random time to end isolation, after which you may or may not still be contagious?

We can also say clown car administration. I can’t say it enough: Why are they only saying this now? Other people have also raised doubts about the accuracy of their data in the past and been attacked for it. So it’s not something dependent on “new” information that the CDC just discovered.

Walensky said also that Omicron-related rapid antigen testing may not be as sensitive according to FDA data.

“We do know that the most sensitive test you can do is a PCR test,” Walensky said. “So if you have symptoms and you have a negative antigen test, we do ask you to go and get a PCR to make sure those symptoms are not attributable to COVID.” Oh, goody, so the rapid tests might not be as accurate either for Omicron. They were encouraging the use of them, however.

They reduced the time for people who are symptomatic to 10 days. However, they recommend that masks be worn for at least five more days. Dr. Anthony Fauci revealed that at least part of the reason was economic — because otherwise there could be so many people out society could grind to a halt. This morning, Walensky said on CNN that the change “really had a lot to do with what we thought people would be able to tolerate.” Again, sounding a lot more like politics.

Walensky’s comments understandably set off a firestorm of questions and anger on social media. What’s coming that they’ve suddenly come out with all these “truths?” Is it because the “good people” are getting it so the same rules can’t apply? This is the point where the Biden Team has lost all credibility.
