My wife and I had COVID in March. She was very sick for 2 weeks, I was somewhat less sick. Lost taste and smell for an extended period and all that. Got tested, was positive, quarantined and all that.
We just recently got tested for antibodies. We don’t have any.
[shrug] What are you gonna do? Did we have the flu in March? Was that a false positive? Or was the antibody test a false negative? Do they want 100% of the people to get the jab, and so do an elevated number of antibody tests come back unaccountably negative?
I trust no Earthly things at this point.
What type of antibody test is the article talking about, the T-cell one that can tell if the infection occurred months previously?
If so, then that may be the one that people would get, rather than the IgG IgM 15 minute test.
“Or was the antibody test a false negative?”
You had the ChiCom Virus but the anti-body test isn’t very accurate over any significant amount of time and can’t show your body’s molecular response and t-cell ability to fight it off again.
It’s limited and experienced the same thing with a recent anti-body test. A t-cell test may show better results but its time-limited too.
It’s been 5 months since you were sick.
Did you have the cPass test?
We just recently got tested for antibodies. We don’t have any.
Get a T-cell test. Antibodies wane over time whereas the T-cell memory lives on and will reproduce antibodies upon another infection. See T-Detect
There are 7 human Corona viruses. MERS is barely a human virus and is only an issue because of an animal reservoir the intermittently infects humans. SARS is so virulent that it was easy to isolate and is extinct as a wild virus. Four of them are cold viruses that cause repeat infections because we lose immunity over time. I believe SARS COV 2 will be the 5th such virus.
I work in public health and have direct access to raw data from sources I know and trust. We are seeing breakthrough infections in both previously infected and vaccinated. One common thing I am seeing in both previously infected and vaccinated is a low hospitalization rate for both.
In my opinion not only is everyone going to get COVID. We are going to get it over and over. But on the bright side not all immunity is lost and breakthrough infections look a lot more like the common cold than the flu, like the other 4 viruses.
Losing antibody immunity over time is common and is one of the reasons that vaccine is recommended even for those that have been previously infected. I am agnostic about vaccinating previously infected people. It will likely delay reinfection but not prevent eventual reinfection and I don’t know what this virus is going to do in the future. I suspect that when the entire population has has this virus for the second time, the symptoms will be a bad cold.
Where I disagree with a lot of posters here is that I am seeing more risk getting that initial bump in immunity from the natural rather than from the vaccine.
They can’t get tests to work, yet they are pushing the vax.
What antibody did you have, exactly? There are at least 3 common antibody tests.
The long-term t-cell antibodies won't show until months after exposure / infection. The other two tests are for current infection and recent infection, and need medical interpretation of results.
The D-Dimer test checks for bleeding from the 'spikes' creating micro-clots.
Yep. Im waiting patiently for the NovaVax shot but will take the antibody test prior to see if I have been exposed sometime in the last 2 years before I do anything. Now whats the use?
All this crap is on purpose and by design.
The part of my extended family, 8 of us, that resides locally all had it in February/March of 2020. all but one, my son-in-law, took a measured megadose of vitamin D3 as soon as we had symptoms. All of us had been taking daily D3 for years and have totally avoided colds and flu in that time. Getting unexpected symptoms induced the immediate turn to the megadose which two of us had begun the D3 dailies with due to having been very sick with the version of flu then going around. All of us were completely over it in 8-10 hours. Except wife and SIL. Wife got pneumonia and it was cured of that in a few days when her doc prescribed an asthma inhaler and antibiotic. SIL was a pharmacy tech and would not take anything not prescribed by his physician so he was in bed for a week before he recovered.
“We just recently got tested for antibodies. We don’t have any.”
very interesting, because myself and several i know around me were deathly ill around march 2020, with all the hallmarks of covid, but none of us subsequently tested positive for antibodies ...
