Half of Brits are now likely have antibodies to the CCP virus—from either natural immune response or from vaccination—according to official modeling based on blood samples.
The latest infection survey data from the Office for National Statistics estimate that in England over 54 percent of people would have tested positive for antibodies to the Communist Party Virus (CCP) virus, commonly known as the novel coronavirus.
For those aged over 65 in England—all of whom have been offered the vaccine—over eight out of ten people had antibodies.
For those between the ages of 16 and 65, fewer than 60 percent had antibodies, with estimates as low as around one in four for Scotland and Northern Ireland.
The data covers the week ending 14 March.
Two months earlier, just one in seven people had antibodies.
“The upward trend in antibody positivity in the latest data will principally be because more and more people are being vaccinated, since the level of actual virus infections is fairly low across all the UK countries,” Kevin McConway, emeritus professor of applied statistics at The Open University, said in a statement.
“The effect of vaccinations also shows up clearly in the figures for the percentage who would test positive for antibodies at different ages. Rates of testing positive are much the highest in the older age groups, where many people have already received at least one dose of vaccine.”
The ONS estimates do not include data from people in hospitals, care homes, or other institutional settings.
So far, half of all adults in the UK—a total of over 30 million—have received their first dose of a vaccine, with over 3 million having received their second and final jab.
Last week, vaccinations reached record levels with over 840,000 people receiving the jab on one day. Currently, on average over 500,000 people receive their jabs every day.
Meanwhile, deaths from the pandemic have continued to drop, with overall death rates from all causes below the 5-year average.
On Sunday, for the second time this year, London reported not a single death attributed to the CCP virus.
Hospitalizations are still dropping, now at around one-tenth of the levels during the peak in mid January.
Infection rates are also continuing to drop, both according to the government’s statistics taken from sample tests and according to the ZOE COVID survey.
That survey keeps tabs on infection rates almost real-time through data uploaded by people via a phone app about their symptoms.
While antibodies are generally strongly associated with immunity, they don’t protect against every disease. Conversely, immunity against some diseases doesn’t depend on antibodies, but instead can rely on other mechanisms, including T-cells.
The real test is to do antibody tests for those who tested positive.
The "scientists" really screwed up on this.
RE: Half of Brits Have CCP Virus Antibodies: ONS Data
Question: How long do these antibodies last, are they protective and longer lasting compared to the antibodies given by the vaccines?
If they do that, then everyone will see the massive number of false positives. Therefore, they will not do antibody testing.
Herd percentage is typically a little higher.
I wonder what the number is here?
What hath bad dental hygiene wrought!
The 2 doctors who have treated over 800 covid patients said if you had covid, then subsequently getting vaccine messes up your immunities, antibodies and t cells. Therefore they advised if you had covid don’t get the vaccine.
To steal a line from another FReeper: “There must be bodies everywhere.”
RE: Therefore they advised if you had covid don’t get the vaccine.
Better tell Gov. Cuomo this because he wants to implement “Vaccine Passports” in New York.
What I find puzzling is the fact that people who "survived" the covid - why in God's name are they getting the shot when they have built in immunity?

Because they watch TV or listen to radio “news” or believe all the lies AND do not do any research outside of a “google” so-called search for information.
Then again, they could just be stupid and it is said:
“You kaint fix stupid”.
You're being quoted - ping.
It’s OK.
Free Republic doesn’t pay me money for my writing.
They do send me ears of corn, though, which I find puzzling.
So what you have is some puzzling evidence.
I figure if our immune systems are in great shape, it will take in viruses and say "Nope!" and expel them handily. If we are running low on our immunity for whatever reason, we may get sick. The lower the immunity the worse off we will be. Just common sense to me.
But to introduce a very questionable product into our body and expect it to do a better job than our own immune system is capable of doing when the researchers themselves don't know exactly what it will do, well that is just lunacy.
Good doctors always err on the side of caution.
I had covid and that’s why I am not getting the shot. Doctors who treated 800 covid patients said as much on Hannity. You have natural immunity now in your t cells. Getting the vac would disrupt that.
The doctors who are explaining that kind of common sense are being sidelined, maligned and fired.
Covid and AIDS are the two most politically correct diseases. Both of them managed by Tony Fauci.
