The CDC Used the Same Method

CDC MMWR · Vol. 70 No. 49 · December 10, 2021
The same pooled-testing methodology, the same eTrueNorth contractor, was published by the CDC in their own Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
Premier Medical Laboratory Services used pooled PCR testing with a reflex-to-individual protocol — the same methodology the CDC later documented in its own MMWR. The same federal contractor, eTrueNorth, managed surge-site logistics for both FEMA-funded testing programs and Premier Medical’s HHS surge sites in SC, AZ, UT, and NC.
