Lying about Serology testing

Many government entities and doctors offices are "afraid" of the inaccuracy of serology tests for COVID-19. The problem is that the FDA has given approval of several serology test kits. Early on, people were putting all sorts of testing kits on Amazon. These were fake kits, do-it-yourself-at-home-style, and did not work. However, labs use the approved kits. Despite this, news agencies like USAToday still insist on stirring up trouble. In this article, published April 24, 2020, the journalist states neither Abbot Labs nor Perkin Elmer have FDA approved tests. According to the FDA website, Abbot Labs had several other nasal tests for COVID-19 and at least one approved test on April 26 (the date the article was last updated). This should have been noted--but it was not.
