As promised, here are my antibody test results.
Link is to the test description, not my test. I'll paste my test results in the first comment. I had J&J on the 19th and had blood drawn at Quest yesterday (16 days later). My baseline test in late April was also negative.
If a year later they are still cranking out the antibodies that is not a good thing. Antibodies, 3 maybe 4 months after introduction to virus and recovery is normal. A year, not so much - Problem.
Definitely some huge logistics challenges involved. Vials and syringes from vaccinations typically go into the sharps container for pick-up by a medical waste company. The normal process from there would be to autoclave the waste (decontaminate and sanitize it) with high pressure, high temperature steam, then sort out what can be recycled (e.g. plastics you melt down) from what can’t (e.g. needles).
In recent years, some startups have been looking at alternatives to vials and needles like microneedle skin patches to deliver medicines. Such patches would have components that rapidly break down outside their packaging and could safely be tossed in the trash after use. This would drastically reduce the need for vials and syringes and drastically cut overall waste. It would also be a lot safer for sanitation workers as some careless people or people without access to proper medical waste disposal (think workers in some private prisons, small clinics, etc.) end up tossing sharps in the regular trash.
I wouldn’t want to be the trash guy having to pick up garbage at the clinic that tosses random needs in there.
Thx
I did not need to hear that. My dad was in the hospital 3 months before we even heard of covid. He is older and was having a hard time breathing and felt like death for days before hospital. They treated him for pneumonia.
A little over a year later he got a food poisoning virus and had to go back to hospital. They tested him and nostril swab test was negative. They tested him for antibodies and he had them. When they looked at his chart they said the year before when he was admitted he actually had covid but of course they didn’t know about it then.
Why is it bad to still be carrying the antibodies. He had the vaccine anyways but heard of you have antibodies then you don’t need the vaccine.
I would not take it if I could. The way they are pressing people to get it makes me very uneasy. I had it and if that’s all it is then if I got it again then it’s like a vacation from work.
I am absolutely out of order.
My best wishes to your father.
If you had it then all the vaccine, in my opinion, will accomplish, is nothing or ADE (antibody dependent enhancement) or ....
Having covid naturally will cause the antibody response. The response will then be converted to T and B cell memory such that you should be fine for some 10 to 20 or who knows, a substantial amount of years.
Good Luck Palmer.
I’d recommend waiting on the long side of that week or two, before re-testing, to give time to develop antibodies. Maybe three.
It is an interesting experiment - thanks for posting, as you said you would.
That’s what I was wondering. If you have it and have the antibodies then you should not need the vaccine. My dad had it and still got the vaccine because the news is saying you should still get it. I think that’s dangerous. So many older people are still scared to death of this and is listening to what their local news is saying. And the media don’t care.
