The CDC’s PCR Tests Distinguish COVID-19 From Influenza

Websites and social media users have circulated posts claiming the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention decided to withdraw its PCR test for COVID-19 because it can not differentiate between the flu and COVID-19 virus.

The claim was first shared by The Gateway Pundit website on December the 29th, 2022, after the CDC's decision in July to withdraw the PCR test in 2022 that the agency created.
