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.
Maybe you got covid.
And had no symptoms.
Recall that somewhere around 1/4 to 1/3 of the people that got it had no symptoms at all.
what does your doc say?
Did the test says that 0.8 or above is positive?
I agree with the other poster that you got COVID.
A relative had an antibody test done two months ago and she had the J&J when it first came out. Her antibodies were quite low, so she got the booster.
She hasn’t had any symptoms of COVID; so she likely didn’t get infected.
My daughter had a followup from gall bladder surgery and was tested asymptomatic for covid. How can you be sick and not sick? They gave her monoclonal antibodies and eben with that customers she calls on want the vax passport! This entire operation is bullshit.
Maybe the j&j shot that they said was worthless after 2 months leaving antibody levels too low for protection was a bunch of hooey. 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.
Good bet you had COVID. For most people I know who’ve had it the symptoms are very mild. Mild enough that you wouldn’t think about getting tested. You’d probably think you were fighting a bit of a cold.
Everything I’ve read says antibodies from J&J should be a very small fraction of your reading. Pretty good chance you had a very mild case of COVID at some point (either luck of the draw or thanks to the vaccine). The J&J vaccine creates antibodies to the SARS-CoV-2 S (Spike) protein, while an actual infection creates antibodies to both the S and N (Nucleocapsid) proteins. If you really want to know, go get tested for SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid antibodies. If that test is positive, you had the ‘rona.
Not a word of that is accurate. J&J is a DNA jab which then produces the same mRNA to produce the same spike proteins. You can't get instructions for protein production without mRNA.
I’m kind of in the opposite boat; I received the same vaccine in May, and contracted COVID in August. However, I’m immune suppressed, and didn’t test positive for antibodies. It makes sense that I wouldn’t make them, considering my immune system is too weak to be propped up anyway.
Logically, you probably caught COVID and had such a mild case that you were asymptomatic or you had symtpoms so mild that you may have mistaken them for allergies or a cold.
I also had a nasty reaction to the vaccine. I’m pretty sure my immune system is severely off-kilter now.
Just a heads up, there has been talk of J&J doing this. It has a lower initial level of protection than some other vax varieties, but there have been some reports of it actually improving . . . up to a point. Then it will erode like all immunities, vax or natural.
And the bad news is Omicron seems to be able to penetrate immunities, vax or natural. The talk of mild symptoms has been almost all young people. South Africa has one of the youngest populations on Earth.
So don’t rely on your vax. You’re not bulletproof.
Funny though that shooting the rna and proteins into you instead of letting your body mfg them seems to sicken and kill so many.
You shouldn't be posing questions like that, Citizen! Dr. Fauci is the embodiment of Science. You must trust the Science!
Your values probably mean that it's time for you to get in line for your next booster shot.
Yeah, that's the ticket!
Regards,
You caught COVID again or the tests are crap.
Yes.
You cam have variations in your genetic code on how you deal with vaccines. I have several as it relates to specific vaccines.
Thats a nasty post and uncalled for.
