The logical sequence of events, from the start of the big vaccination drive, should have been (1) get your antibody test and then (2) if you don’t have antibodies, get the vaccine if you want it.

What's the point of this rambling?

Antibody tests are widely available all over the country. Just walk down to the drugstore and get it done and then decide if you want the vaccine.

This guy seems to want Fauci to take him by the hand, prick his finger and run the sample to CVS for him.

Dude, whatever happened to human agency?

“Types of tests
....
Rapid Antigen Test (BinaxNOW): Rapid Point-of-Care (POC) Test - Antigen (BinaxNOW) is an antigen test that detects the presence of a specific viral antigen. The test is performed on site, with results available the same day. These tests imply current viral infection and help determine if an individual is actively infected with COVID-19 and can spread it to others. A follow-up test with a diagnostic test may be required to confirm a positive result.”

That is not a standard recommended medical practice.

I suspect that is so because if say a restaurant working sneezes, a particle might wind up on food that is then cooked. A positive but weak antibody response might be made by the diner.

Not at all. Fauci's advice is wrong. There are some people who don't know any better and they will take his advice not to get an antibody test, before they get a shot. The writer is simply pointing that out.
