Not unaware, but actively denying that asymptomatic carriers exist and trying to discredit reports saying that asymptomatic carriers play a role in the spread of covid-19.

- htfu 6y agoDisingenuous. A belief that asymptomatic carriers aren't the primary drivers of the epidemic may well be incorrect, but in no way is it equivalent to "actively denying [they] exist", or saying they don't at all contribute to the spread. It's important to stick to the facts in the material when linking. Doubly so when sources are behind paywall and/or in a language understood by very few.
