Public notice/report that PCR tests are withdrawn on CDC FDA advice

verifysp made this Freedom of Information request to Australian Communications and Media Authority as part of a batch sent to 10 authorities

This request has been closed to new correspondence from the public body. Contact us if you think it ought be re-opened.

Australian Communications and Media Authority did not have the information requested.

Dear Australian Communications and Media Authority,
any report/advice/doc issued to advise public that the cdc recalled pcr tests as they are deemed unreliable to confirm sar-cov2 when cycled above 24 false positives of 50-80%

Below is the cdc/fda directive (links) I am referring to.

as such public advice or doc discussing such a report or statement should exist in the public sphere this request should not require a formal gipa form or any fee since such advice or reporting to the public would not require deep searching, and this informal request should suffice.
I am willing to accept no such disclosure exists but wish to be advised if a recommendation was made to another dept who would tell the public about the recall.

DIRECTIVE
The FDA announced that the CDC's PCR test for COVID-19 "failed its full review" because it is "unable to differentiate between COVID and flu," resulting in the diagnostic tool's emergency use
