COVID rapid antigen tests are 'unreliable,' says medical experts, studies

British Columbia’s Interior Health (IH) has completely withdrawn COVID rapid antigen tests (RAT) from its facilities, citing an internal memo that called them unreliable.

"As such COVID-19 RAT testing can no longer be used to direct clinical care or infection prevention and control measures," it said January 8, "and must be discontinued immediately in Interior Health affiliated emergency rooms, hospitals, long-term care facilities [and] outpatient settings."

Dr. Brian Conway, the Vancouver Infectious Diseases Centre’s medical director, acknowledged the PCR test is far more accurate. "[The PCR] test […] we have always known is more sensitive and more reliable," he said.

At the end of 2021, the Trudeau Liberals purchased rapid antigen tests in bulk to aid provinces in their pandemic response. However, fewer and fewer people have used them to test for the respiratory virus.

In January 2022, Canadians raised concerns about the probability of false-positive results in rapid antigen tests.

Researchers from the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management uncovered false positives from 462 of 1,103 rapid antigen tests that had data from a PCR test to compare against.

They published their peer-reviewed findings in The Journal of the American Medical Association compiled from over 537 workplaces between January and October 2021 that attribute the false positives to probable issues from the manufacture.

In 2021 and 2022, the Trudeau Liberals purchased 404 million rapid tests imported from China by BTNX on 15 contracts worth $2 billion, courtesy of then-Health Ministers Patty Hajdu and Duclos.

Parliament on March 4, 2022 passed Bill C-10 An Act Respecting Measures Related To Covid-19 to spend $2.5 billion on test kits, reported Blacklock’s Reporter. "This funding is critical to enable the Government of Canada to respond to significant demands," Duclos wrote to Parliament.

BTNX — Canada’s leading rapid test supplier during the pandemic — is a Toronto-based enterprise that reportedly deleted dozens of samples used in a study they submitted to Health Canada.

Leading medical researchers called their deletions "unethical" and potentially "dangerous" as they could not accurately detect the virus in users — producing many false-negative results. In the coming months, Parliament stopped distributing rapid tests to provinces and territories, reported Blacklock’s Reporter.

Dr. Theresa Tam, chief public health officer, told reporters on June 6, 2022, that she is "not personally involved in the exact amounts being provided to provinces and territories." Asked why the distribution ceased, Tam said: "Well I think rapid tests do play a role but of course, primary prevention is the best."

Three companies – LifeLabs, Dynacare and Switch Health – were awarded federal contracts to manage COVID related testing and screening for a total of $631 million.https://t.co/1WCVwED1Gd

As of last March 21, the federal government warehoused 93 million rapid tests from a pool of $5 billion since the pandemic began.

By last July 25, Health Canada sat on over 90 million tests, according to Health Canada. At this time, the agency had roughly 39 million in excess — enough supply to give Canadians eight COVID tests each.

"In practice, offering tests with less than eight to 12 months of shelf life may present challenges," wrote staff in a memo to the deputy health minister.

"Acknowledging the volumes of tests in play and the challenge of divesting such quantities over a time-bound period, it is expected that disposal of expired tests would be required," it said.

Health Canada successfully donated some COVID tests to non-profits, public institutions and charities, but failed to ship or resell the bulk of them abroad or to manufacturers.

Mere months after the mass distribution of antigen tests to school-age children in Ontario, Health Canada released a warning about rapid antigen tests.https://t.co/wA05CIUeb6

Last December, they admitted the BTNX device is among the "less-sensitive tests" but confirmed there are "no plans to reassess the licensure of this medical device."

Conway said despite their inaccuracies, the rapid tests still have "huge value."

"Huge value, huge value," he told Global News. "We’re not diagnosing much of the COVID that is being transmitted in the community."

"If you’re at home [and] you have symptoms [and] you test positive on a rapid test — you have COVID … we’re going to address that appropriately," said the expert.

When asked about their usefulness in 2022, Tam said, "I think rapid tests can potentially change people’s behaviour."

"If they get a positive test although as we all know a negative test doesn’t mean you do not have it," she added.

Top Biden Econ Advisor Says Latest Consumer Price Index – Which Shot Up Year-Over-Year in December – Is “Encouraging” (VIDEO)

By Cristina Laila Jan. 11, 2024 7:20 pm133 Comments



Biden econ advisor Lael Brainard

Bidenomics.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) shot up year-over-year in December according to the latest numbers out of the Labor Department.

The CPI increased 0.3% in December – up 3.4% year-over-year – “hotter than expected” – and Joe Biden’s incompetent econ advisor said the numbers are “encouraging.”

CNBC reported:

Prices that consumers pay for a variety of goods and services rose more than expected in December, according to a Labor Department measure Thursday that shows inflation still holding a grip on the U.S. economy.

The consumer price index increased 0.3% for the month, higher than the 0.2% estimate at a time when most economists and policymakers see inflationary pressures easing. On a 12-month basis, the CPI closed 2023 up 3.4%. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones had been looking for a year-over-year reading of 3.2%.

By comparison, the annual CPI gain in December 2022 was about 6.4%.

Excluding volatile food and energy prices, the so-called core CPI also rose 0.3% for the month and 3.9% from a year ago, compared with respective estimates of 0.3% and 3.8%. The year-over-year core reading was the lowest since May 2021.

Much of the increase came due to rising shelter costs. The category rose 0.5% for the month and accounted for more than half the core CPI increase. On annual basis, shelter costs increased 6.2%, or about two-thirds of the rise in inflation.

CNBC’s Rick Santelli went off after it was reported the CPI index shot up.

“It takes $1.19 of November 2023 dollars to buy what bought $1 pre-COVID,” Santelli said on Thursday.

Joe Biden’s incompetent economic advisor Lael Brainard (diversity hire) fielded questions from reporters on Thursday and lied about the inflation crisis.

US and UK carry out strikes against Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen

The US and UK militaries launched strikes against multiple Houthi targets in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen on Thursday, marking a significant response after the Biden administration and its allies warned that the Iran-backed militant group would bear the consequences of repeated drone and missile attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea.

President Joe Biden said he ordered the strikes “in direct response to unprecedented Houthi attacks against international maritime vessels in the Red Sea.”

Trump designated Yemen's Houthis as terrorists—one day after taking office, Biden reversed it

The US and UK conducted joint operations to bomb Houthi infrastructure in Sana'a on Thursday.

Shortly after taking office in 2021, President Joe Biden reversed President Donald Trump's designation of the Iran-backed Yemeni Houthis as a terror group.

In so doing, Biden spoke about the need to deal with the humanitarian disaster in Yemen at the time. The Trump administration believed that the Houthis had used violent campaigns to destabilize the region. The Houthis took over the Yemeni capital Sana'a in 2014 along with much of the northwestern region of the country. The US and UK conducted joint operations to bomb Houthi infrastructure in Sana'a on Thursday.

Biden claimed that reversing the designation would prevent a humanitarian crisis.

"Our action is due entirely to the humanitarian consequences of this last-minute designation from the prior administration, which the United Nations and humanitarian organizations have since made clear would accelerate the world’s worst humanitarian crisis," a Biden official said at the time.

"The designation did not impact the Houthis in any practical way, but it stopped food and other critical aid from being delivered inside Yemen and would have prevented effective political negotiation," said Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy in praise of Biden's move.

Trump had branded the group as a foreign terror group in order to "deter further malign activity by the Iranian regime," per then Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. The designation went into effect only one day before Trump ceded the White House to Biden in January 2021.

"If Ansarallah," the formal name for the Houthis, "did not behave like a terrorist organization, we would not designate it as one," Pompeo said. Three of the leaders of the Houthis, Abdul Malik al-Houthi, Abd al-Khaliq Badr al-Din al-Houthi, and Abdullah Yahya al Hakim, were also designated as terrorists. The group are Shiite Islamists.

Classifying them as terrorists prevented any of them from entering the US, made it illegal for any Americans to aid them with "material support or resources," and made it illegal for anyone to do business with the terror group.

The UN was displeased by the designation, saying that it put Yemen " in imminent danger of the worst famine the world has seen for decades."

"I urge all those with influence to act urgently on these issues to stave off catastrophe," UN Secretary-General António Guterres said, "and I also request that everyone avoids taking any action that could make the already dire situation even worse."

"We are planning to put in place measures to reduce their impact on certain humanitarian activity and imports into Yemen," Pompeo said.
