Global- Interior Health drops all COVID-19 rapid tests at facilities
“(The rapid tests) are not reliable for diagnosis of COVID-19,” the memo stated.
“As such COVID-19 RAT testing can no longer be used to direct clinical care or infection prevention and control measures, and must be discontinued immediately in Interior Health affiliated emergency rooms, hospitals, long-term care facilities (and) outpatient settings.”
They go on to say the PCR tests are much better. Weren’t those tested discredited when they ramped up
the cycles? What a shitshow!
Absolutely discredited, but with the PCR tests they can ratchet up any number of false positive results to coerce the Normies into getting a few more boosters.
“COVID-19 RAT testing” – name is quite fitting.
They sound like a bunch of conspiracy theorists now.
Well, the time from “where’d you read THAT, some obscure right wing blog” and “did you see THIS on CBC” is about two months now…

Can anyone, name anything in Canada that is not a joke anymore?
Our “comedians”?
Abbott Labs shipped over 1.4 Billion of these tests up to January 2022. I have no idea how many they manufactured and shipped after that date because it’s not easily found. And, there was some talk that they destroyed their stocks most recently (for some reason). But, the tests are unreliable….worthless.
THIS is “PROFITEERING”. You can throw any number of words at it like “fraud”. But, in fact, it is a company making money off a crisis by selling a worthless product. It’s illegal in just about every country on the planet.
On a side note, I’m unclear what the actual purpose is for a rapid antigen test. If you display debilitating and severe symptoms of any illness…by all means seek medical care. But, what’s the point of requiring a test to determine if you have a disease that is not debilitating or anything beyond mundane annoyance? Bragging rights?
Obviously they should have engaged Bayliss Medical who convinced the liberal government to buy knock off respirators for twice the price…
I think we suffer from a misnomer that companies that manufacture medicines and equipment automatically acquire a benevolent reputation….when, in fact, it is often if not always the direct opposite. My favorite story in that regard is the Bayer Company. Bayer Aspirin is almost an iconic phrase in that regard.
Yet, back during WW2 the Bayer Company sent a rather professional letter to Adolph Hitler requesting 150 test subjects for evaluation of new products. Hitler complied and sent 150 Jewish women to their plant for this testing. A few months later another letter (very professional) was sent to Adolph Hitler stating unemotionally that they are making excellent progress in their endeavors. Unfortunately, those 150 Jewish women didn’t not survive the testing process, and they required 150 more.
There was a good video by Dr. Byram Bridle on the subject of RAT. The issue is that the subject must be symptomatic or the test is, by the manufacturer’s own specifications, meaningless. So taking a RAT when you have no visible symptoms is a waste of time because the results do not mean anything.

And that is why we need alternative media so that there can be a real discussion and not the echo from a goldfish bowl.
The only way to identify a virus is to grow a culture in a lab, it was pure political theater?
Virii don’t grow like that. Virii need a living host cell of some sort to reproduce.
Our local COOP always has a stack of these so-called tests on the counter beside the exit. Every time I shop I grab a few on my way out to chuck in the trash.
I admire you for that. I hope I shall remember to look for opportunities to do similar things.
I can remember when the message was we have to test everyone so we can control the virus. That soon went to the only way out of this is with a vaccine. All those people who pumped that garbage should be in a cell or six feet under. Remember, we quarantined people who tested NEGATIVE. There are 10,000’s who need to pay a price.
