Asymptomatic Transmission is a Myth

Before Covid came along St. Fauci  said this.

Always remember the words of Dear Leader Fauci a few years ago
– he was bang on point back then, and the data now backs his original position up
But sadly he needed to <cough>, go anti-scientific this summer <cough>, for whatever reason known best to himself:#livingNOTlockdown pic.twitter.com/XEus2x0iPa

Apparently when this video was recorded St. Fauci had no reason to shut down the economy.  That was then this is now.

This should be quite alarming. Is no one listening? pic.twitter.com/iUj0QiCh2Z

So before asymptomatic people were not a problem.  Now even vaccinated people can be Typhoid Mary.

The question is, was the little weasel lying then or is he lying now?  Dr. Fauci seems to have an infinite capacity for lying so it is possible he was lying both times and there is a third answer.  By now one thing is clear to anyone paying attention.  If you are looking for the truth you will not find it from Tony Fauci.

Thankfully, there are way more people on earth to consult than Tony Fauci.  On the weekend I found this paper published 2 months ago.

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2774102

The authors combined the data from 54 different studies which included almost 78,000 people.  The studies determined how often an infected person infected someone else in their household.  They found that.

• Your spouse is 2.25 times as dangerous as your child.
• Symptomatic people infect someone else in the house 18% of the time.
• Asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic people only infected someone else 0.7% of the time.

The highest risk outside of a hospital is being sheltered at home with a sick family member.  So even in the absolute worst-case scenario, you only have a 0.7% chance of being infected by an asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic person.  Pre-symptomatic people probably make up the entire 0.7%.  In fact, the study concluded that asymptomatic transmission was statistically zero.

This study proves it is rare to catch covid from someone without symptoms even when you are in daily contact.  How likely is it then to catch it by sharing the same elevator?  I am no virologist, but I would say the answer is somewhere between zero and the probability of St. Fauci telling the truth.  Which is, of course, effectively zero.

We were told that masks, sheltering at home, and closing businesses were necessary to prevent asymptomatic transmission.  Never had we shut down society and quarantined healthy people because of a virus.  The “experts” told us that we had to this time.  They told us this virus was different, but they had no reason to believe that it was.  These “experts” had no reason to believe that asymptomatic transmission would be significant.  Therefor there was no reason to believe that lockdowns would work.  Given that, it is not surprising that lockdowns did not work.

Finally putting to rest the myth of asymptomatic transmission was not the only thing I found interesting about this study.  I also found it interesting that symptomatic people only infected others 18% of the time.  Remember when I discussed the Diamond princess cruise ship?  Only 17% of the people on the ship got infected even thought they were forced to quarantine with symptomatic patients.

We were told that drastic measures had to be taken because the Sars Cov 2 virus was so incredibly contagious.  Yet we keep finding examples where most people do not get infected even through close contact.  We were told herd immunity strategies were not possible because too many people would have to be exposed.  At no time did the “experts” consider that many people were naturally immune.  If it takes 70% to hit herd immunity and 80% already have some natural resistance, then herd immunity is reached at 14%.

14% seems like a very small number but consider this.  Now after 2 seasons of this incredibly contagious virus, no country has reached 14% infections.  Only 4 have even gone past 10%.

Governments trampled our rights based on 2 myths; asymptomatic transmission and that we are all at risk.  They did not just trample our rights.  They caused enormous economic damage.  Taxes will be increased to pay for it.  My children will have to pay for the stupidity of Jason, Deena, Justin, and Theresa for the rest of their lives.  What governments have done, and continue to do, is unforgivable.
