Exactly. It’s already done. Why there isn’t more or even any public outcry regarding the US/FDA refusing to use their testing kits/system is beyond me.

- drak0n1c 7y agoFor those reading who may be reminded of a recent news story - There was never any refusal of purportedly offered test kits. The WHO confirmed that there was never such an offer or even availability and that the rumor was false. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/mar/16/joe-biden/biden-falsely-says-trump-administration-rejected-w/ https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/mar/16/joe-biden/...
- ejstronge 7y agoI’m not sure when the WHO reported that it did not have kits to offer, though they did state that many countries develop their own kits. It still makes sense to ask why FDA only allowed CDC to develop a test, vs allowing all extant, validated tests and/or allowing private US tests.
