SCIENCE AND COMMON SENSE: Healthy People Don’t Spread Disease

A study of almost 10 million people in Wuhan shows that asymptomatic spread of the novel coronavirus is not a thing. It has never been a thing. Just like every other airborne infectious disease in the history of the world, it is spread by people with symptoms. You know, because symptoms cause infectiousness.

Those of us paying attention to the data and the accumulated knowledge of infectious disease gathered over hundreds of years knew this to be true. Even the World Health Organization let the cat out of the bag back in June before the common-sense-announcing scientist was disappeared. Physical control of healthy people has had no effect whatsoever on the trajectory of the virus – in fact, the places with the harshest control measures are often the places with the greatest spread of the virus.

This reinforces what we’ve known all along: the lockdowns, business closures, school shutdowns, forced masking, and every other violation of our civil liberties has been an immoral lie. Millions of lives ruined. Businesses and industries destroyed. Children and young adults lost out on once-in-a-lifetime life experiences. Weddings, funerals, reunions, holiday gatherings – all ruined. Older people forced to die alone and isolated from loved ones. Freedoms of religion, association, and assembly trampled.

Who is going to be held responsible for this? This blame lies squarely at the feed of the government and their so-called experts. People like Anthony Fauci, banging the drum of fear when he had so little understanding of the so-called pandemic that he changed major beliefs about the pandemic every few weeks. And yet he maintained the illusion that the government can and should tell Americans how to live their lives.

Remember, the existence of asymptomatic transmission of the novel coronavirus is what justifies restricting the freedoms of healthy people. It turns everyone into a de facto sick person, justifying quarantine (the isolation of sick, infectious people from the rest of the population). Without the “everyone’s sick” asymptomatic spread, restrictions on people are simply widespread, unprecedented violations of civil liberties.

2020 will go down in history as the greatest widespread violation of civil liberties in the modern era. Nothing else comes close. Only the citizens have the power to stop it, and we stop it by saying no and not complying. Government officials will let up when they are convinced we will punish them at the ballot box. Don’t give them credit for letting up – #neverforget what they did.
