CDC’s Numbers of Omicron Cases Last Week Were All Wrong

Last week, we reported that just under 73% of new COV cases in the US are Omicron. The report came from the CDC. Of course, they now say it was wrong.

According to ABCNews.GO.com, on Tuesday, the CDC revised its initial estimates to noticeably lower numbers of omicron cases.

Noticeably? That’s an understatement. They were off by 50%. Now, the CDC says just 22.5% of new U.S. cases were estimated to be omicron as of Dec. 18.

According to new data from this week, the CDC says omicron is now estimated to account for 58.6% of all new cases, officially making it the dominant strain in the U.S. In the New York and New Jersey region as well as the deep South, omicron is estimated to account for more than 85% of new cases.

The statement read: “There was a wide predictive interval posted in last week’s chart, in part because of the speed at which omicron was increasing. We had more data come in from that timeframe and there was a reduced proportion of omicron. It’s important to note that we’re still seeing a steady increase in the proportion of omicron.”

Okay, then.

What else is new? You can’t trust any of these alphabet agencies. This is why the American people are getting fed up with this Covid debacle.

Why can’t they tell the truth that what they are providing is an algorithm to estimate what they believe are omicron infections. They have no real idea what is happening.

It’s pretty clear that the CDC, FDA, and most Government Bureaucracies have no idea what they are doing and probably spread more propaganda than truth. So we should just get rid of them. America was doing just fine a hundred years ago or so without them.

Another CDC lie, screw up or whatever…………….Quietly without media attention, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has withdrawn the PCR process as a valid test for detecting and identifying SARS-CoV-2. “After December 31, 2021, CDC will withdraw the request to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) of the CDC 2019-Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel, the assay first introduced in February 2020 for detection of SARS-CoV-2 only.The CDC admits that the PCR test cannot differentiate between SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses, a cold,

Nothing from an agency that has lied about so many big things is credible. It is run by criminals.

The test cannot, and does not, identify a virus, as stated emphatically by the inventor. It is a DNA replication method, not a test. It is not an RNA identification method.
