Current testing does not determine if a patient has T cell immunity. Even more important there is no test to determine a given individuals genetic susceptibility or resistance. Generally speaking an immunoligically competent individual does not get infected with the same virus twice. However if a virus has found sanctuary somewhere in the body ( as is the case with varicella or chicken pox), it can reappear in different clinical forms ( shingles in the case of chicken pox). In those cases vaccines have been useful in keeping the virus suppressed. In some patients with persistent symptoms post COVID infection such as “brain fog”,fatigue and cough, the symptoms in some patients resolved after receiving the vaccine.

There is still much to learn about this virus and the true scope of infection in affected individuals. Does it find sanctuaries and persist? Why do some people get exposed but have the genetic capability to totally resist infection? Why do some infected individuals have a very mild clinical course and others go into respiratory failure and die?

Know its not a popular position with some Freepers but given the fact that many of the variants are demonstrating enhanced infectivity, but thus far are stopped by the vaccines, strongly suggest that unvaccinated adults consider seriously getting the vaccine.

I am going in for my yearly check up on Thursday. My doctor's office charges 50% to 100% more for the same exact tests from the same exact lab than if I order them myself online. So since we live in a hotspot and I was exposed to Covid numerous times in the past year and a half, I paid an extra $59 for a Covid antibody test.

I was shocked that it came back negative. I have concluded from this that there are several explanations. Covid may not be not as contagious as we have been told. The test for antibodies may not be as sensitive as the over-sampled tests for active cases. Some people who are resistant may not develop antibodies despite having exposures.

I was one of the heads of a Hazmat Team for years. I have had multiple times more vaccinations than even most other firefighters. But after my mother nearly died after having the first Pfizer shot and still is an invalid months later... I wouldn't touch one of these experimental vaccines with a ten foot pole

We’ve been lied to this entire time. This virus was foisted upon us intentionally with evil intent. Why would you listen to anything they tell you to do? One would have to be devoid of all intelligent thought to even consider it, or so stricken by fear that they lost their ability to reason.
