CDC Finds Over 83 Percent of Americans Had COVID Antibodies Before Delta Surge
Newsweek via msn ^ | 03 September 2021 | Darragh Roche

More than 83 percent of Americans had COVID-19 antibodies before the surge of the Delta variant began, according to a new study of blood sample specimens by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)....

...The authors wrote that "estimated SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence weighted for differences between the study sample and general population increased from 3.5% in July 2020 to 20.2% for infection-induced antibodies and 83.3% for combined infection- and vaccine-induced antibodies in May 2021."...

..."Despite weighting to adjust for demographic differences, these findings from a national sample of blood donors may not be representative of the entire US population," the study's authors cautioned.

Administration of the COVID-19 vaccine began on December 14, 2020 and is ongoing with 74.5 percent of the population aged over 18 having received at least one shot....

My wife and I had COVID in March. She was very sick for 2 weeks, I was somewhat less sick. Lost taste and smell for an extended period and all that. Got tested, was positive, quarantined and all that.

We just recently got tested for antibodies. We don’t have any.

Get a T-cell test. Antibodies wane over time whereas the T-cell memory lives on and will reproduce antibodies upon another infection. See T-Detect

No wonder the CDC aka Big Pharma pushed for vaccinations without regard to prior recovery from Covid. This information would have been devastating... to Pfizer’s quarterly profits.

There are 7 human Corona viruses. MERS is barely a human virus and is only an issue because of an animal reservoir the intermittently infects humans. SARS is so virulent that it was easy to isolate and is extinct as a wild virus. Four of them are cold viruses that cause repeat infections because we lose immunity over time. I believe SARS COV 2 will be the 5th such virus.

I work in public health and have direct access to raw data from sources I know and trust. We are seeing breakthrough infections in both previously infected and vaccinated. One common thing I am seeing in both previously infected and vaccinated is a low hospitalization rate for both.

In my opinion not only is everyone going to get COVID. We are going to get it over and over. But on the bright side not all immunity is lost and breakthrough infections look a lot more like the common cold than the flu, like the other 4 viruses.

Losing antibody immunity over time is common and is one of the reasons that vaccine is recommended even for those that have been previously infected. I am agnostic about vaccinating previously infected people. It will likely delay reinfection but not prevent eventual reinfection and I don’t know what this virus is going to do in the future. I suspect that when the entire population has has this virus for the second time, the symptoms will be a bad cold.

Where I disagree with a lot of posters here is that I am seeing more risk getting that initial bump in immunity from the natural rather than from the vaccine.

Yep. Doesn’t this mean we don’t need Booster shots now?

We are seeing breakthrough infections in both groups. See my response to clear case guy above.

So if that many people are immune to Covid, then what were people REALLY sick with this whole time that was mislabeled as COVID?

They can’t get tests to work, yet they are pushing the vax.

Ok, so age is the major risk factor.

Thank you.

impressive because, knowing that seniors are abt 80% fully and 90% one-shot, to get to 75%, the non-seniors have to be above 60% vaccinated. Which naturally lowers the odds of getting infected because there are less potential carriers.

“Losing antibody immunity over time is common and is one of the reasons that vaccine is recommended even for those that have been previously infected.”

No tests are available showing the cellular ability to tackle the ChiCom Virus even as antibodies wane.

Also, President Trump indicates he’s not likely to take a booster. A lot of data says taking the jab after acquiring natural immunity is less than optimal.

President Trump’s doctors clearly have this data.

We just recently got tested for antibodies. We don’t have any.

What antibody did you have, exactly? There are at least 3 common antibody tests.

The long-term t-cell antibodies won't show until months after exposure / infection. The other two tests are for current infection and recent infection, and need medical interpretation of results.

The D-Dimer test checks for bleeding from the 'spikes' creating micro-clots.

the tyrannical elite does not benefit from herd immunity, so no.

Wrong. Delta variant is carried by the 'jabbed' population, and creates the variants.

Problem with your graphic. The goal posts only ever get moved one way, leftwards. Repubs never try to move it back when they have the chance.

Not likely he’s had Covid 2 times.
