I don't see how the asymptomatic fraction makes a normal trial superior to a challenge trial.

As for the hospitalization and ICU, those numbers are inflated, but regardless, in order to pass the trial, the same number of people need to be infected in the trial. The only difference is that while you're waiting for a few dozen people to be infected naturally because you gave them a placebo, millions are being infected and thousands are dying daily.

I work in healthcare.

Where’s your source on them being inflated?
