One Million Fake COVID Tests from China En Route to Germany were Confiscated in Netherlands
2022-11-22
[Gateway] On Saturday, the Fiscal Information and Investigation Service (FIOD) in Nijmegen, Netherlands discovered a warehouse stocked with one million fake COVID tests from communist China.

According to NL Times, customs officials requested assistance from FIOD following an intelligence report that a stockpile of counterfeit self-test kits was likely being housed in a warehouse.

FIOD said that the fraudulent coronavirus test kits were manufactured in China and will be shipped to Germany.

The Public Prosecution Service, a unit responsible for investigating fraud and high-stakes seizures, is leading the criminal probe into the shipments.

COVID tests are unreliable and inaccurate, regardless of whether they are fake or certified.

Earlier this year, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning concerning counterfeit at-home over-the-counter COVID tests.

"The FDA is aware of counterfeit at-home over-the-counter (OTC) COVID-19 diagnostic tests being distributed or used in the United States. These counterfeit tests should not be used or distributed."

In December 2021, the CDC issued a statement that after December 31, 2021, the CDC would withdraw the emergency use authorization of the PCR test for COVID-19 testing. The CDC finally somehow admitted the test does not differentiate between the flu and COVID virus.

"In preparation for this change, CDC recommends clinical laboratories and testing sites that have been using the CDC 2019-nCoV RT-PCR assay select and begin their transition to another FDA-authorized COVID-19 test. CDC encourages laboratories to consider adoption of a multiplexed method that can facilitate detection and differentiation of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses. Such assays can facilitate continued testing for both influenza and SARS-CoV-2 and can save both time and resources as we head into influenza season," CDC wrote.

#4  But then again, what is to keep the CCP from loading the tests swabs up with C-19 strain XYZ.

Field testing Phase-2 ?

#3  Wondering IF the Fake Tests were geared to False Positive or Negative regarding results?

But then again, what is to keep the CCP from loading the tests swabs up with C-19 strain XYZ.

Which could explain why some swabs were wet already.

Which then leads to the real question...
Why the hell is any country trusting the very source of the Pandemic and denies it, to help fight it?
