Coronavirus patients without symptoms aren’t driving the spread of the virus, World Health Organization officials said Monday, casting doubt on concerns by some researchers that the disease could be difficult to contain due to asymptomatic infections.
Preliminary evidence from the earliest outbreaks indicated that the virus could spread from person-to-person contact, even if the carrier never develops symptoms. But WHO officials now say that while asymptomatic spread can occur, it is not the main way it’s being transmitted.
“From the data we have, it still seems to be rare that an asymptomatic person actually transmits onward to a secondary individual,” Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, head of WHO’s emerging diseases and zoonosis unit, said at a news briefing from the United Nations agency’s Geneva headquarters. “It’s very rare.”
I’ll call it now - the unawakened will just say “well we didn’t know back then and now we do thanks to new information”
I’m just don’t know how to argue with those people.
I've been using their same logic as my justification for not getting vaccinated. Science changes with new information over time, so I'm going to wait until the vaccine Science settles down.
Hahahah genius, likely never.
Right this is why the mask narrative has to be resisted or else more people buy into the concept that healthy people have to be quarantined and locked down.
If the masked people see people without masks and normal they will start to question why should they mask up if they too are healthy.
yep.. and this is why spectators were banned from the Olympics at the last minute. Japan has the LOWEST vax rate of any developed nation.
They would have filled the stands with the unvaxed and NO OUTBREAKS would have happened as a result of the Games.
Narrative Destroyed.
Rare = 0 cases of asymptomatic spread were ever recorded. Zero.
Last year in Japan, the media and the public were abuzz with the same claim. Then they started fussing about asymptomatic sequelae.
What are asymptomatic sequelae? LOL.
Keep observing to see if the same "story" unfolds.
Vaccines that cause various adverse reactions may have been designed to overcome the asymptomatic nature of COVID-19.
Because asymptomatic is scary, right? LOL
And Bannon's War Room showed a clip of some EuroClown claiming that the protests in France are jabbers mad at Macron for not being tough enough on antivaxxers!
Asymptomatic spread has never been proven.
And they keep yakking their misinformation, even though most of it is wrong. They are not going to stop. We have to rely on ourselves to know what is truth from their lies.
You know what baffles me the most? People buying into this new term, "Asymptomatic".
It means you're healthy; i.e. not sick.
People see a big word they never seen before and automatically presume it means something other than what it does. Stupid.
If no real test, how can that statement/lie be made with a straight face?
The "Vaccine" was supposed to protect people because ... wait for it .... it reduced symptoms of covid19.
This was a direct contradiction that asymptomatic spread was even a thing, which was their rationale for lockdowns.
Now that they know the vax don't actually do anything good for a person, only bad, they are back to shilling the asymptomatic spread BS.
AS has never been a factor, medically, before C19.
I think they're trying to keep the plates spinning because they're losing control of the narrative.
I wish I had a dollar for every time someone said 'they are done' here. These people won't be done until they are dead - or we are.
the narrative is DEAD
I wish I had a dollar for every doomer shill dooming that we going to lose to these cunts.
He's not wrong. How is this any better than liberals during the Mueller bs claiming that "it's the beginning of the end for Trump"? At some point, rhetoric needs to be backed with action and PUBLIC arrests need to happen, not behind-the-scenes stuff. We've been waiting and waiting and have been told that justice is coming, Durham is coming, or that a storm is coming, etc. Cool, now let's see it. Less talk, more action. Calling people on your side doomer shills is not helping with legitimate concerns.
