No asymptomatic spread?

This claim is also not difficult to debunk at all. For people who test positive but are asymptomatic - all you need to do is check the viral load in their nasal cavities.
This has been done. It’s the same viral load as people with symptoms.
What about the Chinese study published in Nature?

First thing I saw, so first thing I linked. The article had a direct link to the study.
But you never thought to comment that the Lifesite News article was not accurately representing the findings of the study. That leads me to believe that perhaps you too didn't go to the link and read the study either.
BTW, since you were on about bottoms earlier, did you ever offer a rebuttal to what bach posted about this article?

No, I read both studies.
Did you?
Besides, I've linked Lifesite before. Yes, they have an agenda, but not anymore than other sites that are linked here. Seeing how much interest I've generated, I think I'll link them more often.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

No, I just read the article. That was enough for me to lose complete interest.
Say, how's that rebuttal to bach's post coming along?
What rebuttal would you like to hear?
Secondly, before you make a total ass out of yourself, why don't you go through the two studies and give a measured opinion?

We have been told that asymptomatic spread is common, accounting for a significant amount of COVID cases. Unless I interpret the numbers incorrectly, this is not true.
Asymptomatic cases account for a very small amount of COVID transmission. Miniscule, in the entire scheme of things.
Pre-symptomatic and symptomatic cases account for the vast number of transmissions. In the case if symptomatic cases, transmission being most likely in the early stages, when symptoms are mild, confused with other disease states and significant viral loads exist.
Even at that, open-air transmission is much, much less likely, than transmission in a closed space, particularly within one's own home. Good luck getting people to mask and sanitize in their own family home, though.
That's what I read.
As for the Lifesite website, it is admittedly biased, unlike the NYT, which claims it is not. I'll take admittedly biased, anyday. I like the site and will continue to link articles when I wish. As always, folks here are free to comment and discuss. I also find that sites like these also cover some things that do get ignored by MSM. Consider this:
They may be wrong in their theory that PEG caused the problem, but the problem exists. I told you about it here, before the MSM had a single story.
As for a saddle, I can still lay my hands on one. And since the object of the saddle is hard-mouthed, we'll need the right kind of bit and maybe a set of Mexican rowels. I don't need to put a knee in your ribs before tightening up the cinch, do I?

This is a fascinating thread. I didn't read any of the links, but following the conversation and arguments reveals so much about individual personalities, and how these are manifested in posts.
Maybe I'll take the time to click the links.
I wonder whether "asymptomatic" means breathing normally, where "symptomatic" specifically includes coughing, sneezing. It would seem obvious that coughing and sneezing would spread the virus much more than normal breathing, but is that specified in the data?
I think I will click the links and read. Nothing else to do. Probably stupid questions.

They may be wrong in their theory that PEG caused the problem, but the problem exists. I told you about it here, before the MSM had a single story.MSM in Canada have been regularly reporting about potential and actual vaccine reactions since at least December 12 following warnings from Health Canada to that effect. Being that your site is based in Canada, I suspect it's just trying to stay as relevant as its slightly godless and listless centrist and wholly godless and lifeless leftist competitors to which I consult for my information.
