The most recent study from China on the prevalence of infection after a lockdown found no transmission of the CCP virus among people who were in close contact with asymptomatic patients, contradicting the current narrative that asymptomatic transmission plays a major role in the pandemic.

An asymptomatic carrier is someone who has not displayed symptoms after being infected, but may spread the virus to others. This is different from someone who is presymptomatic, meaning the person doesn’t feel or look sick, but eventually shows symptoms later, and does transmit the virus during that presymptomatic phase.

The study, published in Nature, identified 300 asymptomatic positive cases through a massive screening program of more than nine million Chinese citizens post-lockdown in Wuhan—where the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus originated—from May 4 to June 1, using PCR tests.

Samples of all the asymptomatic cases were also cultured in the lab and “no viable virus” was found, meaning it cannot transmit a virus. The authors also found that 190 of the 300 asymptomatic samples tested positive for antibodies (IgG and/or IgM), indicating a possible recent COVID-19 infection or the PCR test resulted in a false positive.

The scientists identified and followed 1,174 close contacts of the asymptomatic cases and found that none of the contacts tested positive for COVID-19. They noted, “Compared with symptomatic patients, asymptomatic infected persons generally have low quantity of viral loads and a short duration of viral shedding, which decrease the transmission risk of SARS-CoV-2.”

“This study confirms what physicians have known and non-scientists have suspected for millennia: namely, that asymptomatic transmission has never been the primary cause of outbreaks,” Dr. Simone Gold, MD, and founder of America’s Frontline Doctors told The Epoch Times in an email. . . .

The Infectious Diseases Society of America’s most updated guidance on diagnosing, treating, and managing outbreaks during flu season recommends only people with symptoms get tested for influenza. . . .

Other Studies

There is evidence that indicates asymptomatic spread is not as prevalent as earlier studies claimed it to be, as high as 81 percent, and that the risk of transmission from asymptomatic patients is low.

In a systematic review and meta-analysis that included 79 studies, scientists found that asymptomatic carriers “demonstrated faster viral clearance” that suggests a “shorter infectious period.”

In a different meta-analysis study published online on October 9, researchers found that their “estimates of the prevalence of asymptomatic COVID-19 cases and asymptomatic transmission rates are lower than many highly publicized studies.”

The overall rate of asymptomatic cases was 17 percent, and asymptomatic carriers were 42 percent less likely to spread the CCP virus compared to symptomatic individuals.

The study involved 21,708 people from 13 studies that followed patients for “at least 7 days to distinguish asymptomatic cases from pre-symptomatic cases.” . . .

Testing of Healthy People

Several countries are universally testing and masking healthy people as an effort to mitigate asymptomatic spread, despite inconclusive evidence to support asymptomatic infections being a driver of the pandemic.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in its updated guidance for why cloth masks should be worn in the community claim there is a 50 percent transmission rate of asymptomatic people, without differentiating between asymptomatic and presymptomatic individuals.

“Masks are primarily intended to reduce the emission of virus-laden droplets (“source control”), which is especially relevant for asymptomatic or presymptomatic infected wearers … who are estimated to account for more than 50 [percent] of transmissions.”

Universities across the United States, Canada, and the UK have propped up makeshift testing sites to test students and staff, while Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser has implemented an asymptomatic testing protocol for students and staff participating in the state’s public schools in-person learning program. . . .

Students whose parent or guardian have signed a consent form will be able to receive a “PCR nasal-swab test” about every 10 days at school, while staff is offered a mailed testing kit once a week, all at no cost.

Father God, thank you for reputable and forthright doctors such as “The White Coats” aka Americas Frontline Doctors(.com). Thank You for ethical and high moral standard doctors unafraid to share truth concerning the virus and treatment protocols with the American people. Because of their sound beliefs and boldness for accuracy honesty, and health, their conference was banned on all social media platforms. Dr. Simone Gold was terminated from her position at a Level One Trauma Center as Emergency Department Director, a position she loved. She was ostracized by fellow hospital physicians and the Administrators. Lord, what satan, MSM, and those politicizing this virus meant for harm, You have turned for good in her behalf. Dr Gold is also blessed to be a lawyer, therefore being knowledgeable on procedures to attack this unlawful termination in the court system. Thank You, Lord, for blessing her with fellow like-minded doctors who share their knowledge and skills on a new media site. We are thankful for Dr. Gold’s new book, I Do Not Consent.
Dear Jesus, as we fight these lockdowns and misinformation from those whom we should trust, help us to war against this evil in the heavenly realm by putting on our spiritual armor, Ephesians 6:10-18. Holy Spirit, kindly grant us divine wisdom and understanding to disseminate all information and rightly divide truth. Dear Jesus, grant us divine health to withstand any attack we may face: spirit, soul, and body.
Jehovah Jireh, You are our Provider, so provide everything we need. Jehovah Rapha, be our Healer. We thank you for the provision of health and healing. Thank You, Jesus, that Your blood covers us and inoculates us with the “Jesus Vaccine.” Jesus, You are The Word and have give us promises of protection, health, and direction found throughout Your Holy Word. We are not fearful because You have given us a spirit of power, love, and a sound mind, 2 Timothy 1:7. We give You honor, glory, and praise and magnify Your Holy Name. Amen.

You lost me at
“the most recent study from China..” The first thing went thru my mind was ” who can trust China for any truthful information ? Lord help us be wise and discerning with information and filter it through Your Holy Spirit.

    Yes, Lord, and please continue to remind us that a spirit of fear does NOT come from You; in fact, You have commanded us repeatedly NOT to fear!
    But, rather, YOU have given us a spirit of power and of love and of a sound mind! Please teach us to exercise Your gifts, and to trust in You alone.
