The study authors explained, “SARS-CoV-2 human infection challenge provides a highly controlled model, albeit in a small number of participants, with opportunities to sample early, densely, and through the whole course of infection, including the pre-symptomatic period.”

The study was conducted in 36 healthy adults aged 18-30 years who never had COVID, or the “vaccine.” They volunteered to be infected with COVID, then placed in isolated quarantine rooms and have their viral emissions tracked over the course of their illness for at least the first 14 days after infection. While it was predictably found that viral emissions were highest after symptoms began appearing, very little, if any emissions were found in the asymptomatic period before the onset of actual COVID symptoms such as runny nose, coughing and sneezing, even though they absolutely tested positive for COVID. The authors state, “Overall, 7% (21) of emissions into the air and environment occurred before the first reported symptom; this finding indicates that most contagiousness occurred after the participant felt unwell.”

In an interview with The Hill, journalist David Zweig, who broke the story, points out, “These results really run counter to the narrative that we were told from very early on in the pandemic, which was this idea that anyone could be infected at any given time; we all needed to do these various measures: mask mandates for children, even if they were healthy everyone still needs to wear the mask; quarantining people, again including children if there's some kid who's infected in your class or in your school that's it, you need to be quarantined for X number of days; closures of churches, closures of businesses. All these measures were based on an idea that people could unwittingly be infecting others because anyone could be infected at any moment and not know it. What the results of this study suggest...is because they are actually measuring the biological markers, they're actually testing people for their infectiousness, unlike these other studies, we actually have real data to see only 7 percent.” [2]

Essentially, the mandatory face masking of otherwise healthy individuals, or those who may have a positive PCR test, was completely unnecessary during the hyped up and hysteria-filled pandemic response of 2020 through 2022. A panic-driven media and malevolent social engineers conspired to create the illusion that the disease was worse that it truly was and that their bogus safety protocols worked. These ideas were based on absolutely no scientific data. In the case of face masks, the data which was published before the COVID pandemic found that face masks were essentially useless for stopping the spread of respiratory viruses. But, somehow face masks got elevated to a form of religious iconography to be worshipped. This was done by irrational people who based their ideas about face masks on philosophy alone.

Dr. Vinay Prasad teaches medicine at the University of Southern California. Part of his course study is to analyze medical data and determine if there is in fact a benefit shown. He says the face mask and social distancing zealots were making policy based on no data because they simply thought it must work because they think it should. “They're so stuck in the mechanism that this has got to work that [they're] not willing to test does it actually works and that's the principle hubris of biomedicine...This is what my research career has been: that by simply hypothesizing a mechanism by which something will help is not the same thing as proving that it does help...When you put all this together, you have a cocoon of bio-plausible, but not empirically validated, ideas that are being promulgated as if they're gospel by a bunch of people who are not thinking clearly because they are intensely political and they have proven that they are panicking.” [3]

As face mask mandates begin to creep back into society by misinformed school boards and some businesses, it is important to note that we now have credible data that shows people who do not have symptoms of illness do not spread it until they do have symptoms. This most recent challenge study proves it and it is what we as a society have known all along, but due to fear and panic forgot those facts.

If you feel sick, stay home. If you don't feel sick, you're most likely not going to be spreading anything to anybody around you, even if you test “positive” for a virus.
