Is a perfectly healthy person somehow a viral threat?
Dr. Peter McCullough, MD, MPH, FACC, FAHA, is probably the foremost expert in the world today on the pandemic response and the most cited doctor in the National Library of Medicine. He stated recently:
The virus is not spread asymptomatically. Only sick people give it to other people. September 20th, 2021; interview, Gab TV, 6:32
One of the world's most renowned immunologists agrees:
…it was the crowning of stupidity to claim that someone could have COVID-19 without any symptoms at all or even to pass the disease along without showing any symptoms whatsoever. Professor Beda M. Stadler, PhD, former director of the Institute for Immunology at the University of Bern in Switzerland; Weltwoche (World Week) on June 8th, 2020; cf. worldhealth.net
The former Vice President and a Chief Scientist of vaccine manufacturer Pfizer, no less, flatly states that such a premise is a complete fabrication.
"Asymptomatic transmission: the concept a perfectly well person can represent a respiratory virus threat to another person; that was invented about a year ago never been mentioned before in the industry… It's not possible to have a body full of respiratory virus to the point that you're an infectious source and for you not to have symptoms… It's not true that people without symptoms are a strong respiratory virus threat." Dr. Mike Yeadon, April 11th, 2021, interview on The Last American Vagabond
Recent studies confirm that asymptomatic transmission is simply rare if ever.[1] Hence it follows that masking the healthy,[2] social distancing, and locking down entire healthy populations rather than focused health protocols and quarantining the sick, have little basis in science.
1. "A randomized controlled trial (RCT) of 246 participants [123 (50%) symptomatic)] who were allocated to either wearing or not wearing surgical facemask, assessing viruses transmission including coronavirus. The results of this study showed that among symptomatic individuals (those with fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose etc…) there was no difference between wearing and not wearing a facemask for coronavirus droplets transmission of particles of >5 m. Among asymptomatic individuals, there was no droplets or aerosols coronavirus detected from any participant with or without the mask, suggesting that asymptomatic individuals do not transmit or infect other people."

[PubMed] [Google Scholar] [Ref list])
This was further supported by a study on infectivity where 445 asymptomatic individuals were exposed to asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 carrier (been positive for SARS-CoV-2) using close contact (shared quarantine space) for a median of 4 to 5 days. The study found that none of the 445 individuals was infected with SARS-CoV-2 confirmed by real-time reverse transcription polymerase.(Gao M., Yang L., Chen X., Deng Y., Yang S., Xu H. "A study on infectivity of asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 carriers". Respir Med. 2020;169 [PMC free article] [PubMed] [Google Scholar] [Ref list]).
A JAMA Network Open study found that asymptomatic transmission is not a primary driver of infection within households. (December 14th, 2020; jamanetwork.com)
A massive study of nearly 10 million people was published on November 20th, 2020 in the prestigious Nature Communications: "All city residents aged six years or older were eligible and 9,899,828 (92.9%) participated… There were no positive tests amongst 1,174 close contacts of asymptomatic cases… Virus cultures were negative for all asymptomatic positive and repositive cases, indicating no "viable virus" in positive cases detected in this study."

And in April 2021, the CDC published a study that concluded: "We observed no transmission from asymptomatic case-patients and highest SAR through presymptomatic exposure." "Analysis of Asymptomatic and Presymptomatic Transmission in SARS-CoV-2 Outbreak, Germany, 2020", cdc.gov
