HC workers + scientists are worst of all. Was told by 2 integrative med scientists last wknd "LC is rare..only those w pre-existing need to be careful..We don't go out when ill.." Deer in headlights when I mentioned asymptomatic spread. Sent them children w/LC stats, the Olympians w LC study 1/
And recent respiratory viral infxns awaken metastatic breast cancer study. Of course, they haven't responded.
Most people living in bubbles of ignorance prefer it that way & don't appreciate it when their bubble gets popped... Even when needed.
Seriously. So much resistance to evidence-based data.
The fields of medicine and science are filled with irrational denial regarding the life-threatening harm of Covid-19. In particular, the denial of asymptomatic infections runs deep. Their refusal to acknowledge the self-evident truth is unacceptable and unforgivable.
I always bring up asymptomatic spread in these awkward comvos with mid and late career stage investigators. Response is that of disbelief. And yet, they also don't want to read the studies to expand their "realities."
My theory abt late stage career researchers' stronger denial level is they've grown comfortable with their extensive travel and dining styles. Asymptomatic throws a kink into all that

They refuse to acknowledge any truths that might challenge their chosen delusions.
