Pcr detects targets that are dead, non infectious, alive, infectious, and he who defines the targets defines the detection. After decades in the lab I also must say gen 1 antibody tests are unreliable. In the old days we did serial antibody tests to see if you were acute or convalescent. Convalescent equals decline to non detectable levels of particular antibodies.
I would say the antibody test plus your total would tell you if the target was wrong. Having said all of that... be careful what you allow in your medical record. It can and will be used against you. I would never have a pcr test of any kind.
Very good info. And you are dead spot on about the “Be careful what goes into the record” warning. About 30 years ago my wife thought she had a UTI and so had that checked out. 2 years later I applied for supplement health insurance and they wanted to charge some huge expensive additional rider for her since they said the UTI could indicate some much more serious existing condition (forget what exactly).
“It can and will be used against you. I would never have a pcr test of any kind.”
Maybe, that is why the good local docs in private practice and with the various big health plans are advising their patients not to get a PCR test post vaccine and even pre vaccine.

Yes!! I also would never have a COVID jab either. How crazy!
