And I'm just loving all the hate for having a difference of opinion. The CDc itself has changed direction numerous times, recently shortening isolation time from 10 days to 5, even admitting it was to get more people back in the workforce.
You portray yourself as a victim, hated for having a different opinion. Don't flatter yourself. Your citation from the CDC displays your abject ignorance for all to see. Do you believe your simple minded claims might persuade us? Don't insult our intelligence. That's what I hate, not your opinions.
Let's look at the CDC's words direct from your citation. Pay attention to the part I bolded:
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.
You previously said the PCR "test cannot distinguish between the flu and covid". The CDC never said that. What the CDC did say is they recommend using another PCR test that can distinguish both SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses, at the same time – to save time and resources as we head into influenza season. If you can't understand the difference between your version and the CDC's version, you are truly ignorant – or you're deliberately fanning the flames of falsehood – something much worse than ignorance.
I've had Covid, it sucked, but at no point did I feel I was gonna die. Also, when you have to get three shots within 6 months and it still doesn't protect you from getting the disease, only lessons it's severity, that's not a vaccine.
Let me get this straight. Do you oppose vaccinations in general, or do you oppose Covid-19 vaccinations because of vague objections that it's 'not a vaccine' or that it's 'gene therapy'? Which is it? Or do you choose whatever argument suits your purpose?
Some simple facts about other vaccines developed during the 20th century: All of them went through several versions before arriving at a final, most successful version. It took years for these developments. No vaccine got it right on the first try without fine tuning. We now have several different Covid-19 vaccines. All of them were rapidly developed in response to a rapidly spreading public health emergency. And they worked surprisingly well for first attempts. But the SARS-CoV-2 virus has rapidly mutated into several different variants. The latest variant, omicron, has mutated enough that vaccines targeting the original Wuhan strain of the virus aren't as effective.
Now you say you're opposed to the Covid-19 vaccines because they don't react so well with all those mutations? Again, which is it?
We have all these mutations because people like you refuse vaccination, and you urge others to refuse vaccination. The more SARS-CoV-2 spreads, the more it replicates itself. The more the virus replicates, the more mutations accumulate. It's the continuing emergence of new variants that has has limited the success of those initial vaccines. All caused by your ignorance.
