UC Davis Rolls Out Free Saliva-Based COVID Testing For Davis Community | Stephanie Ruhle | MSNBC
Go UC Davis! Go Dr.Pallack! ! Well done!
Could your potus n WH not have developed what these guys did
My County in So Cal has had these home saliva- strip tests available for a month now, free of charge.
Dr. Michael Mina of Harvard has been encouraging use of these strip tests for months.
mina’s strip test is antigen, not pcr
I mean it’s not just Davis… In Riverside you can easily find testing site and even be able to make same day testing appointment. And for free for sure.
Best university in the world.
Not even close
@Real American jealous? You probably never even been there or heard of the world-class University!
Sad for you!
@S Hogan actually I’m a real American native American not like you he offspring who’s migrant great grandfather who was from Europe, second I went to Cambridge university in he UK one of the best on earth also Oxford university has made a life saving vaccine so shove that your migrant offspring arsehole Hogan ,
Wait are they using the Canadian salt water swish test? It was discovered in B.C. and my son had a salt water swish test in Nova Scotia shortly thereafter. We only use it on children because the nasal swab is the most reliable and accurate. Took us about 24 hours to get negative results back
Go AGGIES!!!!
This is awesome! This should be happening across the country
Over 300,000 dead. Millions are homeless. No Covid relief package for the people. BLAME MITCH AND THE SENATE.
Keep it up!.. I am seeing you everywhere.💪🏽
@Alimah B Amen Sister. Power to the poor!
Amen, sister. power to the poor, which is most of America!… That is better than power to the 1% who can careless about anything other than their pocket.💪🏽💪🏽
We, the middle class, will continue to be overlooked but that’s for election a half a century from now. lol
Trying to look as if they are getting somewhere
_YOLO county_
You’d think that was in Florida.
Innovation is great. But we need a wide assortment of tests, putting all our eggs in one basket would be a horrible idea. If there was a flaw with the test or its components, or we run into supply (chain) issues, we’d all be in BIG trouble.
AGGIES!
LOVE UCD!
Guess steph didn’t make such a bad decision on his college. 🤣😘
Way to go!!!!
isn’t the PCR TEST only 50% reliable?speak about this please
@jane simmons • Not on the information I found.
“A report by American and British doctors published this year in the British Medical Journal reported false negative results of between 2 per cent and 29 per cent for RT-PCR tests.”
For this source and information on other tests, see:

It’s not reliable at all. The Covid “tests” are useless and “cases” mean absolutely nothing due to this.
Read for yourself.
https://cormandrostenreview.com/report/
Also, go to he “Covid tests” FDA Emergency Use Act Letters, the Pharma Companies themselves, along with FDA state these “tests” aren’t determining a true “infection” of SARSCoV2. Research yourself, please!!!
Decide for yourself, please don’t blindly trust what you’re told. This is found in test package inserts (if the test has one, some conveniently don’t have them) or in the FDA EUA letters:
“Results are for the identification of SARS-CoV-2 RNA…….Positive results are indicative of the presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA; clinical correlation with patient history and other diagnostic information is
necessary to determine patient infection status. Positive results do not
rule out bacterial infection or co-infection with other viruses. The agent
detected may not be the definite cause of disease.”
Please read this very carefully – “other diagnostic information is necessary to determine INFECTION STATUS. They are testing for an RNA ASSOCIATED with SARS-CoV2 but NOT EXCLUSIVE to it, can read “postive” from colds, flu or bacterial infections. Tests are completely UNRELIABLE.
Also, the FDA regulates what Pharma can print about these tests, they state the following: * I capped for emphasis
“Conditions Related to Printed Materials, Advertising, and Promotion”
“No descriptive printed matter, including advertising or promotional materials, relating to the use of your product may REPRESENT or SUGGEST that THIS TEST IS SAFE or EFFECTIVE for the DETECTION of SARS-COV-2”
Did we all read this correctly? Let’s read it again, just to really take this in.

American exceptionalism may yet rise again.
We don’t need a vaccine for something that isn’t even present in the population the way we’re told, yes,the RT-PCR aren’t reliable.
