      “What do your results mean?If you test positiveA positive test result shows you may have antibodies from an infection with the virus that causes COVID-19. However, there is a chance a positive result means that you have antibodies from an infection with a virus from the same family of viruses (called coronaviruses), such as the one that causes the common cold.”

    1. @The body The majority never even show symptoms. You can confirm this from comparing antibody tests with the number of confirmed cases. 85% of deaths are 60+ with preexisting conditions. Only 6% die solely from Covid. The real death rate is 0.5% or a little less. Seasonal flu is 0.1%. Yeah, it’s significantly more serious, but not worth collapsing the economy or all the chaos the media has caused over it. I don’t even bother getting a shot much less wearing a mask or social distancing for the flu. Idk what we would do if we had an actual pandemic

    3. Shouldn’t take it from a career medical bureaucrat with patents on the vaccine and heavy interest in Remdesiver either. Fauci.

  1. After this incident how can anyone trust the CDC guidelines from now on? How can you determine if the guidelines are tainted by political pressure or that the guidelines are scientific sound?
    Kind of important because health decisions will depend on it.

    1. @Michael bagley your brainwashed. That’s so far from true I’m calling you on it. Show me your facts. Not your CNN transcript.

    2. Direct deaths, under 10 thousand last I heard.
      There be rat’s and cockroaches working at the CDC. EXPOSED SHORTLY.

    3. Dok Nomis, when I want life or death medical advice I would definitely not be looking at Faux News for my information. Look to the latest “Fox and Friends” Trump interview and look at their body language when Trump blurts out insane babbling. Even Faux may be thinking that they backed the wrong horse.

    4. Why is it that the right always say, you will hear soon about an investigation, you will hear soon of people being indicted. Like all those reports of antifa dissidents being charged with horrendous crimes like exercising by their 1st amendment rights. Of cause, now exercising 1st amendment rights is now termed “sedition”. Barr would make a great Lord High Executioner under the reign of king Donald.

    2. @PRISON PLANET✔ We don’t even have an isolated strain on CV19 to make a gold standard test fulfilling Koch’s postulate.

  2. The cdc has become a vaccine sales company. And why don’t we want government agencies handling too much money and responsibility…..because they’re incompetent and will f it up

  3. Changed…
    Again…
    It’s almost like…
    They don’t really have a clue and are just getting paid to say what they say.

    1. @Linden NZ No, it is vaccine profiteering vs biolab weapons research programs outsourced to china to avoid responsibility.

  4. Reminds me of the joke about a guy who asked his doctor when in his opinion will the covid-19 pandemic end. His reply was “How would I know, I’m not a politician”.
