The asymptomatic circle is closing!

At the beginning of the C-19 pandemic (i.e., before the rollout of the mass vaccination program), the rapid asymptomatic spread of the SARS-CoV-2 wild-type (Wuhan-Hu-1) strain was accompanied by a rapidly growing wave of acute C-19 disease and hospitalizations, primarily affecting the vulnerable parts of the population.

At this stage of the immune escape pandemic, we're witnessing the prolonged asymptomatic spread of highly infectious variants among C-19 vaccinated individuals, accompanied by an extended wave of chronic disease and hospitalizations.

Only those with a superficial understanding of science perceive this phase as the post-pandemic endemic stage. True endemicity occurs when the virus seasonally resurfaces due to a collective decline in natural immunity (herd immunity), combined with increased infectious pressure (e.g., due to prolonged viral survival in colder temperatures and more indoor activities). However, to achieve herd immunity, chronic asymptomatic transmission would need to first transition into a hyperacute phase of high viral virulence. This transition would be necessary to eliminate individuals who cannot contribute to herd immunity due to vaccine-induced immune dysfunction.
