NJ state lawmaker: Mask mandates are based on questionable coronavirus test results

August 15, 2021 -

In a statement, Doherty pointed out Murphy's continued silence "even as concerns linger that overly sensitive PCR tests are driving bad policy decisions, including the re-masking of K-12 school students."

Based on evidence, many people who test positive for COVID-19 at higher CT levels were "asymptomatic, no longer sick, or ...

CDC denied access to FDA official sent to check on coronavirus lab test delays

March 09, 2020 - coronavirus tests’ potential contamination.

It’s hard to say how many lives could potentially have been saved had the CDC granted access more urgently to the man sent to help them at a critical time – or had they actually had their act together and avoided contamination and delays in their lab tests in the first place.

Needless to say, moving a little faster in this situation could have helped with early detection of the virus and potentially diminished its ...

Trump administration’s promise of “one million” coronavirus test kits turns out to be empty words… why can’t the USA test people like South Korea does?

March 08, 2020 - coronavirus testing. These agencies also have yet to give New York State's Wadsworth Lab and the NYC Public-Health Lab similar permission to test for the novel virus.

The whole thing is a giant bungle at this point, illustrating once again the utter lack of competence within, and congruence between, both federal and state governments. There are plenty of private companies waiting to test for the Wuhan coronavirus (CoVid-19), including a lab in North Carolina that ...
