(KathyDopp<\/a>) \u2013 Editor\u2019s note<\/em>: Below is a series of articles, studies and papers regarding the theory of asymptomatic transmission of COVID-19, as compiled by Kathy Dopp.<\/em><\/p>\n 1.<\/strong> In the investigative report \u2013\u00a0\u201cThe Lies Exposed by the Numbers<\/a>\u201d\u00a0\u2013\u00a0\u201cI documented the worst of the lies, half-truths, and misdirection used by our public health officials to manipulate public perceptions throughout the pandemic. The public messaging surrounding the COVID vaccination campaign has been just as crooked.\u00a0So, I thought I would do what the government has refused to do: calculate your Vegas odds of death from the virus so you can weigh those odds against the risks of getting the jab.\u201d<\/p>\n 2.<\/strong>\u00a0July 27, 2021. The next report is entitled \u201cMajority Of Hospitalized Covid Patients In UK Only Tested Positive After Admission: Leaked NHS Data<\/a>.\u201d Over half of those hospitalized with COVID-19 in the UK\u00a0only tested positive\u00a0after\u00a0<\/em>admission\u00a0\u2013 suggesting that \u201cvast numbers are being classed as\u00a0hospitalised by Covid<\/a>when they were admitted with other ailments,\u00a0with the virus picked up by routine testing,\u201d according to\u00a0The Telegraph<\/em><\/a>, citing leaked government figures.<\/p>\n \u201cIt creates an impression that all these people are going into hospital with Covid, and that simply is not the case. People are worried and scared and not really understanding the true picture \u2013 that is what I find despicable,\u201d one NHS data expert told the\u00a0Telegraph<\/em>.<\/p>\n I wonder how many U.S. COVID-19 hospitalizations were only diagnosed post-admission, keeping in mind of course that U.S. hospitals are paid more for COVID patients under the\u00a0CARES Act<\/a>.<\/p>\n 3.<\/strong> July 23, 2021. An interview on Ingraham Angle\u00a0of Peter McCullough, MD, MPH, entitled\u00a0\u201cTreatment and Natural Immunity Will See Us Through Delta Outbreak<\/a>.\u201d\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n 4.<\/strong> May 22, 2021. \u201cHow did a disease with no symptoms take over the world?<\/a>\u201d A biologist discusses that \u201ca viral infection does not necessarily result in a disease. \u2026 the only reasonable conclusion we can draw about the creation of an asymptomatic disease is that it wasn\u2019t done by a biologist but instead by individuals (probably on the\u00a0Scientific Pandemic Insights Group on Behaviours (SPI-B)<\/a>) whose agenda is not to convey accurate information to the public but something different: fear and uncertainty.\u201d UK: Delta variant vs hospitalizations.<\/p>\n 5.<\/strong> April 21, 2021. \u201cPeople overestimate the risks of COVID-19<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n 6.<\/strong> April 15, 2021.\u00a0\u201cLack of cross-transmission of SARS-CoV-2 between passenger\u2019s cabins on the\u00a0Diamond Princess<\/em>cruise ship<\/a>.\u201d When there was an outbreak on the\u00a0Diamond Princess cruise ship<\/a>, the virus circulated freely for two weeks in the confined environment of the ship and its\u00a0infection curve among passengers peaked and declined<\/a>at least two days before quarantine was imposed. The average age of the 3,711 persons on board was 60 years. A total of 696, about 19%, were infected and 14 died, a case fatality rate of about 2%, at a time before medical doctors had discovered\u00a0effective treatments<\/a>. \u201cWe infer from our analysis that most infections in passengers started on 28 January and were completed by 6 February, except in those who shared a cabin with another infected passenger. The distribution of the infected cabins was random, and no spatial cluster of the infected can be identified. We infer that the ship\u2019s central air-conditioning system for passenger\u2019s cabins did not play a role in SARS-CoV-2 transmission, i.e. airborne transmission did not occur between cabins during the outbreak, suggesting that the sufficient ventilation was provided. We also infer that the ship\u2019s cabin drainage system did not play a role.\u201d Thus, it was known since at least\u00a0mid-February<\/a>\u00a0that a COVID-19 epidemic would decline naturally well before 60% of people were infected even though all or almost all were exposed, presumably owing to varying degrees of susceptibility in the population.<\/p>\n 7.<\/strong> April 14, 2021. \u201cAsymptomatic spread of COVID-19 \u2013 the biggest lie of our times<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n 8.<\/strong> April 19, 2021. \u201cRepublicans open schools, Democrats still keeping them closed<\/a>.\u201d The latest data underscore an appallingly partisan split on what should be a more science-based decision.<\/p>\n 9.<\/strong> April 6, 2020, and updated March 13, 2021. \u201cAre Hospitals Spreading the Virus?<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n 10.<\/strong> April 8, 2021. \u201cEminent doc: Media censored COVID-19 early treatment options that could have reduced fatalities by 85%<\/a>.\u201d Dr. Peter McCullough also explained that given an 80% level of herd immunity, broad vaccination has \u2018no scientific, clinical or safety rationale.<\/p>\n Addressing the broad \u201cmisinformation\u201d of asymptomatic transfer of COVID-19, which has supported the need for lockdowns due to the notion that the virus can be unintentionally spread by infectious, asymptomatic people, the medical professor said, \u201cOne of the mistakes I heard today as a rationale for vaccination is asymptomatic spread. And I want to be very clear about this:\u00a0My opinion is there is a low degree, if any, of asymptomatic spread. Sick person gives it to sick person. The\u00a0Chinese have published a study<\/a>\u00a0\u2026 [of] 11 million people. They tried to find [evidence of] asymptomatic spread. You can\u2019t find it.

In both the shielded (the \u201cclinically extremely vulnerable\u201d \u2013 about 3% of the population) and the general population, the risk of severe COVID-19 (defined as requiring intensive care or dying) increased with the number of adults but decreased with the number of school-age children in the household.\u00a0Severe COVID-19 was strongly associated with recent exposure to hospital\u2026\u00a0(Together with the high risk found in nursing homes, almost all severe COVID-19 cases are from hospitals or occur in elderly care homes.

However the rate is closer to 60% for nursing home facility residents.<\/p>\n 24.<\/strong> December 2020. \u201cVideo: W.H.O.

The study found:\u00a0\u201cEvidence of transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from patients who remain asymptomatic (as opposed to pre-symptomatic) is found in a body of numerous meta-analyses. Evidence of asymptomatic transmission has been based on only a handful of instances which themselves are questionable. The existence of transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from asymptomatic individuals has become an accepted truth but the evidence for this phenomenon being anything other than mistaken interpretation of false positive test results is weak. Examination of the underlying data from the most frequently-cited such meta-analyses reveals that the conclusions are based on a surprisingly small number of cases (six in total globally) and, moreover, the possibility that they are all coincidental contacts with false positive results cannot be ruled out. Transmission which is pre-symptomatic is rare and represents a negligible risk to the population. It is questionable therefore whether any of the extensive testing, tracing, isolation and lockdown policies have delivered any worthwhile benefit over and above strategies which seek to advise symptomatic individuals to self-isolate.<\/p>\n 27.<\/strong> November 2020. \u201c\u2018No evidence\u2019 that asymptomatic Covid-19 cases were infectious, analysis of post-lockdown Wuhan concludes<\/a>.\u201d\u00a0This paper analyzed the results of a massive post-lockdown COVID-19 testing drive that included nearly every eligible resident of Wuhan, China and found no evidence that positive cases without symptoms spread the disease.<\/p>\n 28.<\/strong> November 2020. \u201cPost-lockdown SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid screening in nearly ten million residents of Wuhan, China<\/a>.\u201d The study found: Stringent COVID-19 control measures were imposed in Wuhan between January 23 and April 8, 2020. Estimates of the prevalence of infection following the release of restrictions could inform post-lockdown pandemic management. Here, we describe a city-wide SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid screening programme between May 14 and June 1, 2020 in Wuhan. All city residents aged six years or older were eligible and 9,899,828 (92.9%) participated. No new symptomatic cases and 300 asymptomatic cases (detection rate 0.303\/10,000, 95% CI 0.270-0.339\/10,000) were identified. There were no positive tests amongst 1,174 close contacts of asymptomatic cases. 107 of 34,424 previously recovered COVID-19 patients tested positive again (re-positive rate 0.31%, 95% CI 0.423-0.574%). The prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in Wuhan was therefore very low five to eight weeks after the end of lockdown.<\/p>\n 29.<\/strong> \u201cWhat the data say about asymptomatic COVID infections<\/a>.\u201d\u00a0People without symptoms can pass on the virus, but estimating their contribution to outbreaks is challenging.<\/p>\n 30.<\/strong> \u201cAsymptomatic infected persons do not tend to spread infection.<\/a>\u201d A Study on Infectivity of Asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 Carriers<\/p>\n 31.<\/strong> July 2020. \u201cCOVID-19 in primary schools: no significant transmission among children or from students to teachers<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n 32.<\/strong> July 2020.\u00a0\u201cRe-opening schools in Sweden & Finland did not worsen outbreak<\/a><\/p>\n 33.<\/strong> July 2020. \u201cHow CNN deceives about asymptomatic transmission of SARS-CoV-2<\/a>,\u201d by Jeremy R.
