Ep. 107 - If Asymptomatic People Don’t Spread Covid, What Are We All Doing This For?

The justification for social distancing, mask wearing, and shutting down our global economy was largely based on the fear that asymptomatic people will easily spread Covid. Early studies fanned these fears and created a whole world of people willing to “do their part” by staying home to stay safe, to shun social contact, and to shame those who don’t comply. But this research was flawed, and new studies show such spread is very rare and contributes very little to the pandemic. http://bit.ly/vaxconv --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thevaccineconversation/support
