Asymptomatic people do not transmit Covid-19

"Imagine having so much of the virus in you that it's coming out of you when you talk and yet you are still not sick? Weird, isn't it?"

So, are healthy people carrying pathogens that can make someone else sick or kill someone else who happened to walk and breathe (at the same time) less than 6 feet from the healthy carrier?
Below you'll find a study from China that will answer this question regarding the SARS-CoV-2, and also what two officials said about it.

Here are the facts from the mouth of the beast:

Dr. Anthony Fauci

The director of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said in January 2020:

Contagion from asymptomatic COVID-19 patients is unlikely.
But the one thing people historically need to realize is that even if there is some asymptomatic transmission, in all the history of respiratory-borne viruses of any type, asymptomatic transmission has never been the driver of outbreaks. The driver of outbreaks is ALWAYS a symptomatic person.

From the WHO itself

Maria Van Kerkhove, head of the World Health Organization's emerging diseases and zoonosis unit, said that transmission of COVID-19 by people who aren't showing symptoms is "very rare." She spoke on Monday, June 8, 2021, at a briefing in Geneva:

The biggest study of asymptomatic cases that was conducted for the SARS-CoV-2

In this study, which was also published on nature.com and which included 10 million people, not even a single asymptomatic person infected other people!
Here is an excerpt from the study publication:

The screening of the 9,865,404 participants without a history of COVID-19 found no newly confirmed COVID-19 cases, and identified 300 asymptomatic positive cases ... Of the 300 asymptomatic positive cases, two cases came from one family and another two were from another family. There were no previously confirmed COVID-19 patients in these two families. A total of 1,174 close contacts of the asymptomatic positive cases were traced, and they all tested negative for COVID-19. (0.574%).
