Found your substack account via Naomi Wolf's account. I am grateful for your clearly written essay, and hope to use it in my neverending attempts to educate my high school and college kids who are being bombarded with misinformation by our govt health agencies. My only goal is to keep them from getting jabbed, and using arguments such as yours, adds credibility to my pleas. THANK YOU and please, keep on writing!!
I found this substack by following a couple of other paths, and was interested to read this article. Your points on asymptomatic spread are spot on, and the obsessive testing is still causing two (at least two) problems: the unjabbed are being diagnosed with C19 when they shouldn't be - and since this is often at hospitals when they go for other types of care, they become C19 cases and receive "treatment" they should never be subjected to.
Additionally, "free" testing isn't free. It's adding around 2% to aggregate med/Rx costs, and most people are going to feel that in their 2023 healthcare contributions. The cost of testing dwarfs the cost of C19 care (where C19 is the primary diagnosis). In my view, putting this unnecessary asymptomatic testing back in the "hypochondriac" bucket it belongs in would reduce hysteria, improve the quality of care, and reduce costs -- all at the same time. I encourage you to keep after those who are pushing the asymptomatic threat narrative.
There have been so many doctors and scientists who have led the hysteria and attempted to censor others that the few like you who tell the truth just stand out all the more.
Really enjoyed reading this first post, and thank you so much for following through on your pledge to speak out. The Bay Area needs more people like you. It is just mind boggling that given the vast numbers of highly educated people, and the high number of medical professionals here, that I still see reports of doctors rushing to vax their kids and mindlessly repeating the official message.
I appreciated how you provide links to the pages where you give a brief rundown of a particular cited study and why it may not be reliable. Fairly easy even for a layman to understand, and it is a good justification for your arguments. Looking forward to future posts.
Great article, Kathryn....look forward to reading more! I remember way back in 2020 reading the CDC study you cited, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32083643/) and thinking to myself, this doesn't make any sense. I'm a RN but no other formal training reading studies. The rub for me was that the family infected had traveled to a nearby hospital to see a sick relative but that there was no SARS-COV 2 in the hospital (really??) and then after a few days were infected supposedly by patient 1 who must have been asymptomatic since she had been in Wuhan. It didn't jive....at the time for me, I thought something is wrong that the CDC is citing this study as proof of asymptomatic transmission. Thank you for confirming my beliefs!

Thank you so much for being one of them.
Thank you for this straight forward, well documented rebuttal to the public narrative. I look forward to reading more.
