The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention admits that having a common cold could trigger a positive COVID antibodies test.
USA Today and MSN both rushed to fact-check similar claims as "false." But is their analysis correct? Keep reading to learn the rest of the story. …
Meanwhile, governors across the country are using rising case numbers to bring Americans back under restrictive mandates. A reported twenty-five states now have mask requirements in place. I am deeply concerned that this is establishing a mechanism for governors to eventually enforce mandatory vaccinations.
The Atlantic already reported this regarding multiple states around the country… "The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is conflating the results of two different types of coronavirus tests, distorting several important metrics and providing the country with an inaccurate picture of the state of the pandemic. We've learned that the CDC is making, at best, a debilitating mistake: combining test results that diagnose current coronavirus infections with test results that measure whether someone has ever had the virus" (emphasis added).
This fact was conveniently omitted from the paid-for-by-Facebook fake fact-checkers' article. This destroys the credibility of these so-called fact-checkers who completely ignored published, well-known conflation in the reporting of these two different tests
It also undermines any remaining credibility of the "new case" numbers.
Yet, these discredited numbers are exactly what many governors are using to put their states back on lockdown … and to force businesses to become unwilling enforcers of arbitrary mask policies and any other whims these governors might have. In fact, tracking tests show that it might just be a person having had the common cold and now being immune to a specific variety of the common cold.
