"CDC guidelines on COVID-19 antibody tests note that a positive antibody test result does not necessarily indicate immunity from the virus"

So if vaccines work by helping body to stimulate production of virus antibodies, can’t it be argued that vaccines don’t necessarily guarantee immunity from virus either, particularly if virus mutates like flu does?

Corrections, insights welcome.

Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government Democrats and RINOs home in November!

Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a "third term" in office imo.

The media, as always, garbled the message.

The CDC’s point (and I’m no fan of the CDC on this COVID caper) was that since they are finding that the prevalence of the CCP Virus is low, even in hot spots like New York, the proportion of false positives will be relatively large, so it’s not a useful diagnostic tool for an individual.

OTOH, which I don’t think they pointed out, a negative result should be highly reliable. It’s just the way the numbers work out with the currently available antibody tests and current prevalence.
