A new, first-of-its-kind, saliva-based rapid PCR COVID-19 test has recently been approved by Health Canada. ottnews

A new, first-of-its-kind, saliva-based rapid PCR COVID-19 test has recently been approved by Health Canada.. The company says they created the test to solve two problems; to eliminate those pesky nasal swabs and to allow highly accurate rapid testing usually only found in controlled environments.

"That collection cup is capped and inserted into a unit. The operator hits play, and in less than 30 minutes the individual finds out their COVID status." "It can provide PCR level and accurate results, like individuals have historically received in a hospital or lab setting, but now in can be delivered with virtually the speed of an antigen test."

Songbird Life Science is hoping to have the technology available in clinics, schools, and long-term care homes shortly.

Time to end the covid fear.

Neither ctv or health Canada have any credibility worth spit Way dont you go get a booster and stop the BS

A rapid test that gives bogus results. Can't wait! Now tell Health Canada to get those closet monster scanners approved! Millions of Canadian children and adults still lie fearfully awake at night because Health Canada hasn't prioritized finding closet monster infestations.

2020 is going to be so excited by this development. It’s over. Stop flogging this dead horse. The handful cases in hospitals pale in comparison to the death and destruction caused by bad diets, motorcycles, and scooters. Move on!

just gonna leave this here... 🤣🤣 trust me, you'll roar over this one!! 😉🇨🇦

So lets get this straight, the CDC in the US drops most of their Covid guidelines today for everyone, Australia scraps their tracking app and Canada comes up with a new 'one of a kind' PCR test for covid

Is this something Theranos is involved in?

it's total BS. They do nothing; PCR is a forensic tool for DNA replication, and that's it. It doesn't diagnose ANYTHING.

Still no from me but you go ahead

New 'we'll get your DNA one way or another' machine....fixed it for you

Give it the fk up

We don't need any more tests. The PCR test was faulty and in error because it was run incorrectly to obtain false results. NO MORE TESTING!!!!

Another useless test for the sheep 🙄

Those in Ottawa can feel safe as they turn in their Neighbour, Brother or Sister, Mother or Father. .

AilsaForshaw Do you have more info on it? Who’s family members are involved for example? What organizations get kick back?

Can you stop. We know it's a scam

Big whoop. Canada is broke and suffering. We don't need testing. Where r they from? China?

Why is this still a thing!? Canada is crazy.

Sounds wasteful, move on already. Obsessed with a cold.

Why do we think we even need this moving forward?

Excellent for when you need that false positive in a hurry

FYI, CTV.

I just have a cold.

PCR IS NOT A DIAGNOSTIC TOOL

The scam continues.

⚠️ Kary Banks Mullis was an American biochemist. In recognition of his role in the invention of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique, he shared the 1993 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Michael Smith and was awarded the Japan Prize in the same year.

A great source of DNA data....

You do know that the PCR test for Covid is completely unreliable unless all the factors surrounding the person being tested are known. The PCR has too many variables and has been discarded by pretty much the whole world as a covid test

Covid is over. Stop it already. You're embarrassing yourself and scaring stupid people all over the country

Still not giving them anything from my body without my consent

Guess no one watched the 2 min clip of kary mullis telling you these tests can't tell you anything.

For a mild flu? The world has moved on, time we did too. This is a huge waste of time and money. CTV only puts opinions on pieces against the narrative. EnemyOfThePeople

Does it differentiate between cold, flu and covid? Or just says positive for all 3 still?

Investigate this CTV.

Who cares? F🍁CK THE PLANDEMIC!! Bunch of BS and LIES!!

Covid is a joke now. It's over.

PCR tests are old technology. Ive got some chineese made abacus if the GOC wants to spend $10K on each of them.

And I still wouldn't take it because I'm not an idiot who needs a test to tell me I'm sick.

More DNA collection?

First of its kind? The NBA had been using this the entire time while the rest of the world was getting their brains poked.

It's a DNA data collection program.

Can I just wet fart on a stick?

Boy...if only it was Aug 2020 🤡

Dear people, you are the governments lab animals.

They are never going to end this covid control.

Who gives a shit.

Just in time for nobody to give a goddamn

Didn’t they already fall for this scam like two years ago?

AlexMunter Another instrument to treat private health data as a point of surveillance AND commodification, selling it to data brokers. Do not comply. 💰

New DNA database, not a COVID test.

Programmed for false positives I hope! After that “seventh wave” totally flopped they need to bump those case numbers somehow

Who cares?

What the point? If you feel sick just stay home

Still doing these? Or is this an article from 2021?

What’s the point?

What are other uses for saliva tests? DNA.

No thanks

No one cares you’ve lost the war on covid propaganda

rapid fire false positives
