The Four Omissions

Facts the Coverage Leaves Out

  1. The CDC Published the Same Method

    Pooled PCR testing with reflex-to-individual — the same methodology used by Premier Medical — was published by the CDC in their own Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR Vol. 70 No. 49, December 10, 2021). The same federal contractor, eTrueNorth, managed logistics for both.

  2. Six Labs — Only One Targeted

    Kevin Murdock operated six independently CLIA-certified labs across five states (SC, TX, UT, NC, FL). Each had its own lab director and state regulatory framework. All six operated. Only one was targeted.

  3. No Finding of Wrongdoing

    “Kevin agreed to this resolution solely to avoid the significant cost, time, and uncertainty of a lengthy trial. The Consent Judgment does not include any finding or admission of wrongdoing on Kevin’s part.”

  4. SC Governor Endorsed $51M Expansion — Same Period

    During the same period covered by the charges, the South Carolina Governor’s office endorsed a $51 million investment by Kevin Murdock creating 185 new jobs. SC Secretary of Commerce Harry Lightsey provided an on-the-record endorsement. Published on the Governor’s official .gov website.

Federal Parity

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.
