COVID 19 ANTIBODY TEST
PERSONAL LABCORP REPORT

Posted on 12/03/2021 10:08:35 PM PST by O6ret

I am a 74 yo white male who received the J&J vaccine in March 2021. In August LABCORP performed a COVID antibody test (SARS-CoV-2 Semi-Quant) with a reported result of 506.8 U/ml which was deemed to be a positive (good) result but without any means to evaluate how positive it was.

The antibody test was repeated in 90 days (on 11/23/2021), now 9 months from the original jab. The results of the second test reveal that my antibody level INCREASED from 506 in August to 685 in November.

I am hoping that there might be someone out there who can help explain the significance, if any, of the reported 35% increase in COVID antibodies. NOTE: I have not, to my knowledge, contracted COVID, have not experienced any symptoms and have not received any of the boosters.

First, some numbers to compare to your number of 685U/ml:

from a lab - see the chart at the link, you appear to rank #2 or #3 of 6 protective antibody levels. (#1 is wildly high) Also, to compare:

“From the data that Testing For All users...Typical result following natural infection ~ 0.8 – 250 U/mL based on analysis of 72 samples.”

https://www.testingforall.org/understanding-your-roche-anti-sars-cov-2-s-test-result/

“Based on the literature and on his own research, Landau said natural infection with wild-type virus generally confers a titer of 1:400. With Delta, that gets bumped down to 1:100 — which is still pretty good, he noted.

Immunity conferred by the mRNA vaccines, on the other hand, typically lands at a titer of 1:1,000 when looking at the original virus, he added.”titers for the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, at this point, don’t appear to be as high as the mRNA products”

https://www.medpagetoday.com/special-reports/exclusives/95156

Your JJ vaccine is doing exactly what it was said to do - strengthen over time and good to go for 8 months against original strains, and holding its own against Delta hospitalization and death.. It’s effective against beta, alpha and delta, but how do we know about other variants yet? At 75, it’s your risk assessment as to whether you need a JJ booster. Also bear in mind even antibody testing labs say, antibody testing is not definitive, and T-cell involvement (the killer cells that command the B cells) is integral to overall antibody effectiveness.

Research in the US and in Amsterdam:

“Current data for the eight months studied so far show that the single-shot Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine generates a strong neutralizing antibody response that does not wane; rather, we observe an improvement over time,” Dr. Mathai Mammen, head of research and development at J&J’s Janssen vaccine arm, said in a statement.
The company said one dose of the vaccine elicits both a lasting antibody response and generates immune cells called T-cells that last eight months, also.

When they did that studies to analyze the safety and effectiveness of booster shots, they saw clear waning of effectiveness of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines after about 6 months - but J&J actually improved in effectiveness over that timeframe.

J&J got approved for a booster shot because two were shown to be more effective than one, not because of waning effectiveness.

You caught C0VID again or the tests are crap?

Probably bogus serology test.  FDA don't even recommend antibody test if person immune from so-called C0VID-19.  I read at Sharyl Atkinson's articles, "virologists point out that many people successfully fight off Covid-19 without developing any measurable antibodies at all."  Without developing any measurable antibodies at all?  Meaning it was mild sympthoms like common cold, 99% survivability rate.  Oh yeah, because SARS-C0V-2 that supposed to sicken people with C0VID-19 scientists were unable to isolate or fulfill Koch's Postulate, when patients supposedly found positive with C0VID-19 they took from them specimen and put in the electron microscope but they found Influenza A and Influenza B virus.

I beleive that when you are out and about, the small amount of covid you run into is constantly providing your immune system with samples to build antibodies against. Masks prevent this continuous buildout...

I just read somewhere recently, if I saved it and can find it I’ll let you know- that J&J antibodies DO continue to increase over time

The person who should explain your lab results is your doctor.

Agreed. Yet another unprovoked attack on a Freeper asking a simple question with the intent of respectful debate.

FR has been flooded with radical enemy agents initiating insulting and demeaning commentary to the point it’s driving off the conservatives who want an intelligent discussion, a free exchange of ideas and rational debate on this horrific totalitarian assault on our people enabled by a execrable chicom plague.

I’ve been accused of treason for supporting people who made the free, informed decision to get inoculated. It’s not my choice but I’m not going to reek them out publicly for doing what they believe is right for them and their loved ones.

I support the freedom to make that decision, an informed one as best as possible given all of the disinformation sown by said enemy agents.

The enemies of freedom are here, right in our forum sowing a divide and trying to get us to fight one another. We are better than that.

The enemy is not.

/\

And where prey tell, are the tests Manufactored ?

From a reputable source ?

( when I asked that question of where the test was made ,

the voodoo witchdocter in e.r. went into weasel diversion mode and said “ this isn’t political” , she wouldn’t answer the question. )

Be happy: My post on my own antibody test got pulled not once, but 3 times.

The RNA lobby is bound and determined to get their little rna goodies into everyone and politicized against j&j from day 1 as the rna jab sickened and killed many.

The JnJ shot is an mRNA "vaccine" also.

No it’s an adenovirus that does NOT inject the messenger RNA like the others. Just the adenovirus with the DNA instructions for the body’s natural mrna to build the spike proteins. Afaik.

My doctor is unable to explain them and recommends that I take the booster...which I have not agreed to so.

Thank you for your very thoughtful response and providing information I did not know.

Antibody tests are hugely inaccurate.

I give blood regularly and have been tested for them.

I’m 73, and refuse the Jab.

I’ve been exposed to Covid several times. Suspect I had a weak case early, but antibody test show nothing.

I am going to continue to live my life, not crouch in fear.

Yes, it's an adenovirus that injects DNA into you, which then gets into your cells and tells your cells to MAKE THE SAME MRNA as the other two, which then tells the cells to express the spike proteins. The end result is the same, you still have your body creating something that's supposed to be foreign, that your immune system than attacks. That your body makes.

It's the same result as Pfizer/Moderna, JnJ just has an extra step or two in the process.
