Before this year, few people ever used the term ‘asymptomatic’, and many have never heard of it, but today it rules our lives. Despite Dr. Fauci and other experts from day one say it has “asymptomatic spread.” never the cause of outbreaks, ‘we turned our lives upside down for nine months under the assumption that each of us – regardless of whether we have symptoms – could be an assassin isolated, monitored, and as the months went on, the evidence remains accumulate that asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 carriers contribute less to the spread than previously thought, no more.
A new meta-analysis published in JAMA by researchers at the Department of Biostatistics at the University of Florida, Gainesville, and the Cancer Research Center in Seattle, Washington, found that the secondary attack rate of symptomatic carriers of SARS-CoV-2 was nearly 26 times higher than with asymptomatic carriers. The analysis collected 54 studies with a total of 77,758 participants. These studies collectively investigated the likelihood that one infected person in a house with several residents will infect others in the household.
Not surprisingly, the authors found that the rate of household attacks for SARS-CoV-2 was relatively high compared to other pandemic coronaviruses such as SARS and MERS. Overall, they estimated that the rate of secondary household attacks was 16.6%. However, they found a huge gap between primary transmitters that were symptomatic and those that were asymptomatic. Those with symptoms transmitted the virus to household members 18% of the time, while those who were asymptomatic transmitted only 0.7% of household contacts.
Also, in line with the findings of other studies, “critically severe index case symptoms were associated with higher infectivity in 6 out of 9 studies in which this was examined.” This means the more serious you are, the more contagious you can be.
It’s really hard to exaggerate the significance of this finding in relation to the public’s perception based on the lies we’ve been told about asymptomatic spread. For starters, the death rate for people under 70, according to Stanford epidemiologist John Ioannidis, is 0.05%. That means your chance of dying from the virus after meeting people who have no symptoms is 0.00035%, or 1 in 285,714 if you are under 70! That’s essentially the bulk of the U.S. workforce. They turn their lives upside down because someone without symptoms can give them a virus that is rarely fatal to them.
So we know that asymptomatic spread represents only 0.7% (Madewell et al) of infections and that the chance of dying with … https://t.co/F8Y2Hf7g2p

Also keep in mind that this low rate of secondary attacks among asymptomatic carriers of the virus comes from household transmission, which is much more common than the number of attacks in shops or businesses. This means that your chances of getting infected and dying from someone who is asymptomatic simply by passing them in a restaurant or store (and much less outdoors) are so infinitely small that it is far below the risk we assume at taking every step in life.
Yet politicians refuse to break free from this fixation on shops and restaurants as if they were responsible for the transfer, especially when customers show no visible symptoms. It is not just panic pornography providers that will never let go of the myth of asymptomatic mass distribution. There’s a whole test-industry complex behind the fixation with testing people for asymptomatic infection, which is too big to fail with the government health agencies.
My former colleague, Jordan Schachtel, researched the cost of these tests and found that, with 2 million tests performed per day, the current median cost for COVID tests in America “is about $ 254 million dollars a day, $ 7.6. billion per month and to $ 91.4 billion per year. ”That does not include all the miscellaneous costs incurred by the tests that benefit the wider complex of healthcare and government, such as the cost of collecting and increasing specimen, additional doctor visits, and endless opportunities to milk the federal trough, which continues to dump billions of dollars into the testing regime.
What’s so disturbing about the politicians who refuse to reconsider their position on asymptomatic spread is that it won’t end with the vaccine. As long as we continue to test with 40 amplification layers, it is very likely that we will still be able to detect traces of the virus, even in people who have already recovered or been vaccinated. This is probably true for most viruses, but because we have never tested 2 million people a day with super-sensitive tests, we have never focused on the “reinfection” of people with vaccinations.
So, until we restore constitutional rights and some non-flat-earth scientific acumen, business owners will continue to face jail time, all for a lie.
