Note: link is to the general descrption of the test, not my results. My results follow:

COVID-19 Antibody Test (SARS-CoV-2 AB IgG), Semi-Quantitative POSITIVE Current Result 1.25 index
<1.00 Negative
> or = 1.00 Positive

I took this IgG test at the end of April and it was negative, took it 16 days after the J&J shot and it was still negative https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3965215/posts Took it again 14 days later (30 days after J&J) and it is finally positive. That means a detectable level of antibodies to the spike protein.

That is why I’m still giving plasma for the antibodies

Two of my grown kids also have documented antibodies but are being denied university admission till they get jabbed.

A university "education" is worth used toilet paper any more.

Have them go into the trades.

I can’t read this NY Times article because of the paywall, but you might be interested, as it is on this topic:

Yep, I got a buck and a quarter worth of antibodies. Anything less than a buck is considered negative. I have no idea what the range is.

Thanks. The article says:

Mr. Lat turned to Twitter for an explanation. Florian Krammer, an immunologist at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York, responded, asking Mr. Lat which test had been used. “That’s when I looked at the fine print on the test,” Mr. Lat said. He realized it was a test for antibodies to the N protein, not to the spike.

My fine print says:

Clinical Significance

SARS-CoV-2 Antibody (IgG), Spike, Semi-Quantitative - This test is intended as an aid in identifying individuals with an adaptive immune response to SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), indicating recent or prior infection. The results of this semi-quantitative test should not be interpreted as an indication of degree of immunity or protection from reinfection.

Individuals who have been vaccinated with a SARS-CoV-2 spike or receptor-binding domain vaccine may be positive with this test; however, the clinical significance of a positive antibody result for individuals who have received a COVID-19 vaccine is unknown, in part because the test's performance characteristics have not been established for that population. It is not known how long antibodies persist following infection and if the presence of antibodies confers protective immunity. This assay should not be used to diagnose acute SARS-CoV-2 infection.

“I have been exposed to all parts of the virus; the capsid, the envelope, the nucleic core, NOT just a speck of lab grow protein but that’s not good enough for the CDC and the WHO. “

absolutely: with the hundreds of DIFFERENT antibodies produced by natural infection, you’re FAR more protected against mutations than you would be with the couple of antigens inserted into the synthetic mRNA and virus vector vaccines ...

“.,,My psoriasis is not that bad. It covers my hands every three to four weeks and I use a steroid cream which pretty much takes care of it….”
*******************************************************
Try colloidal oatmeal. I know, it sounds weird but it helped me as I didn’t want to continue with steroid creams.

The brand I use is Aveeno Eczema Therapy. I’m sure “mileage will vary” and it takes a while of regular use for it to be effective.
