Claim: The CDC is removing its request for emergency use authorisation of PCR tests. This is evidence that PCR tests don't work, are fraudulent and cannot distinguish between influenza and Covid-19.
Fact-check: The CDC has not said PCR tests don't work - Full Fact
Verdict: the cdc has given laboratories advance warning that they will stop requesting approval for one type of pcr test. this is because there are now other, more efficient pcr tests available. some of these can simultaneously test for influenza viruses as well as sars-cov-2 to avoid having to take multiple samples or run multiple tests on the same sample if it is negative for sars-cov-2.
