The only valid test for immunity to the disease is a determination by a laboratory that antibodies specific to COVID-19 Wuhan virus are circulating in the blood stream. Anything else, like a certificate that the individual has had an mRNA vaccine, or a nose swab that comes back negative, are just window dressing, and not valid for determining acquired immunity, if any.
And there are natural immunes out there, those whom because of a quirk in their biochemistry, or acquired immunity through their own bodily response to a previous infection of COVID-19 virus, are not subject to again acquiring the disease.
Correct, but there’s nothing wrong with using a cheap home-administered PCR test as a screening tool to tell you there is SOME kind of viral disease process going on, and THEN testing the person with a COVID-19 antibody test to confirm/deny that’s what it is.
This is how NHS has used them in the UK and a friend’s family has found the PRC to be 100% accurate in proactively identifying the need for antibody testing that has confirmed COVID was in fact present.
People act like this is all new stuff when in fact PCR tests have proven to be effective and are well established in the medical art.
I asked my PCP if I could be tested to determine if I have sufficient Covid-19 anti-bodies. His reply was that those tests are not generally available, which I translated as meaning Covid-19 anti-body tests are readily available to pharma researchers but not to you and me. God forbid a test be readily available that shows a person has immunity and doesn't need the jab.
We are living in la la land!
Are we allowed to make sense on this here site. /s
Detection of t-cells also works to confirm immunity.

‘Natural immunity’ effectiveness suffers from the same issues the vaccines have. The effectiveness wanes for both. Both have ‘breakthrough’ infections.
