Lateral Flow Tests Innovas Iniquity

"The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) told the public to stop using the [lateral flow] tests ‘by placing them in the trash’ ... Shockingly, the UK government decided to take no notice. Instead they doubled down on their £4billion investment in the product."

In an article by Conservative Woman:

"While Americans were busy throwing them in the trash, the UK extended the exceptional use authorisation (EUA) of the Innova LFT until August 28. (FDA Link)

 

It is now well past that August 28deadline and there has been no further official extension of the EUA by the MHRA. Yet schools, colleges and universities are once again strongly encouraging students to use these unauthorised lateral flow tests. As well as risking health, the test will continue to inflate case numbers as a result of its proven unreliability and inaccuracy and will be a ‘tool’ in the Prime Minister’s box of tricks to ‘justify’ yet another lockdown this autumn/winter."
