>symptoms are usually dependent on the reproducibility of the virus and thus viral load..
"usually" dependent. But we've added a very large confounding factor, in that the vaccines lower the severity of the illness while still allowing detectable viral loads.
(Tested means "people who had a test and later went on to have a confirmed diagnosis". Confirmed means "people who had a positive PCR test" in this study)
Note this meta analysis does not control for vaccination status *at all*.. which means that *in general* 40% of people who get Covid have no symptoms.
>so your ongoing question is ignoring the fact that you already agree with the explanation. What? My ongoing question is "How does increasing the number of undetectable cases protect the vulnerable from exposure?" Which you haven't answered *at all*.
>I won't answer more on this thread from you. You haven't answered anything at all, Scott.
Someones vaccination status moderates the detectability of their infection, this is well established even by your own argument.
If you're concerned about keeping infected people away from the vulnerable you would want them to have the most obvious infections possible.
If you can't acknowledge that obvious fact then you can just stamp yourself with "science denier"
