People who received the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine had “slightly higher” antibody levels than those who received the Pfizer, now formally called Comirnaty, shot, according to a new small study.
While both vaccines insert molecules called mRNA that teach our bodies how to produce coronavirus antibodies, the Moderna shot uses more than three times the amount of mRNA than the Pfizer vaccine. This, the University of Virginia School of Medicine researchers say, could explain their findings.
So, does that mean the Moderna vaccine offers better protection against COVID-19?
The study was published Sept. 2 in the journal JAMA.
“The thing that will be interesting is figuring out if measuring antibody levels ends up being a good marker of vaccine protection,” study co-author Dr. Jeffrey Wilson, an immunologist at the University of Virginia, said in a statement. “At the moment, we don’t know for sure.”
The team examined blood samples from 167 vaccinated university employees collected anywhere between one week to a month after their second doses; 79 received the Pfizer vaccine and 88 got the Moderna shot. Recipients were 42 years old, on average, and most (72%) were women.
Those who got the Moderna vaccine had more antibodies (about 69 micrograms per milliliter) in their blood than people who got the Pfizer shot (about 46 micrograms per milliliter) — regardless of age.

I can attest to that. I had the Moderna on Friday and could hardly move my arm on Saturday. Sunday I was fine. That was my 3rd Moderna shot because I take immunosuppressant drugs. Doing great so far, everybody’s different.
May. May not. May not matter. Still won’t get the shot.
Unless it kills you first.
You are an abject idiot!
Team Fauci couldn’t do it without you!
Well, Covid killed my husband’s healthy 62 year old aunt, and his mother is still devastated over the loss. I wish she had been able to hang on a few more months to get it herself. We’d probably still have her.
Everyone I know is vaccinated. No side effects, no big deal. I’m grateful to God for providing it.
Antibody decline is natural. The body’s T-cells pick up the slack and produce lasting immunity.
“I can only hope you do join the dead who got the shot. I am tired of you idiots.
What a nasty, evil person you are being here.”
Good Lord, what kind of place have I wandered into? Y’all make the leftists on Twitter sound pleasant.

For natural infection, yes. SARS1 patients are STILL cranking out NATURAL antibodies, today.
If you’re talking about from the shots, which it looks like you were referring to, you cannot be serious.
What do you think these booooooster shots are for?
Geez.
“They are willing (self admitted) to hold you down against your desire and force you. At that point I don’t care if it’s harmless or deadly - I wish them I’ll will. I am willing to wage war and fight to the death. They will hide behind the FedGov and use the state to do their dirty work. Which is more evil. I know the answer.
I am expecting a great FR house cleaning coming. I am expecting a great awakening coming. Time will tell. I want forced lithium on these forced vax proponents. Leave them drooling so they cannot be a danger in the future. No nice BS treatment. Drug them so much I do t care if they ever raise their authoritarian heads again.
If that doesn’t work then true social justice is in order. Keep names, keep evidence …. It is that sinister. Just my opinion.”
Wait, let me get this straight. I don’t want to misunderstand. You want forced lithium on vaccinated people—?
Glad you are happy with your decision. Plenty of other people aren’t, and some of them can’t tell us, because they are no longer here. In the beginning, I refused to even consider taking the shot because there wasn’t even an accurate test for the virus, and recently, the CDC has finally fessed up, and admitted that the nasal swab test can’t tell the difference between the flu and Covid, but yet they will continue to use the test until the end of the year. Would I trust any entity that continues to use a test they know is inaccurate during what they consider to be a pandemic? Hell no!

Not to mention....dangerous....
I’m speaking of the shot. That’s what it’s designed to do.
I have a physician and a nurse in the family. They’re pretty well-versed on the vaccine. Are you a doctor?
I agree with you on trusting government entities. I don’t, either. I do trust my doctor and the medical professionals in my family.

Oooooh......impressive.
Not.
I have a nurse and two doctors, in my family.
Are YOU a doctor? Are you even a FRoctor?
And, your information is incorrect...about these shots offering ‘lifetime immunity’.
Numerous threads about it. Again, why the *need* for booooosters, if your shots have given you a ‘lifetime of immunity’?
Even the VPs, here, would disagree with you, on that.
I trust my doctors to give me advice. I trust myself to decide whether that advice makes sense. I know myself, and my body better than any of my doctors.
Rare brain fluid leak in woman’s nose linked to COVID-19 test detailed in case study
From what I understand, that was when they were doing the more invasive nasal swab tests.
I have a problem that they are not testing vaccinated people for Covid. I had an appointment for a colonoscopy and gastroscopy the end of June. I needed to be tested for Covid before they'd do the procedures. A couple of days before my test appointment, the doctor's office called me, and told me that if I was vaccinated, I didn't need the test. I told her I wasn't vaccinated, and asked the woman why vaccinated people weren't being tested since it's a well known fact, that they can still get the virus, die from it, and pass the virus on to others. After a long silence on the other end of the phone, she said, "yeah, you're right, but I don't make the rules, and we follow the guidelines of the CDC. I think it was just recently that the CDC issued new guidelines stating that vaccinated people now needed to be tested. Yeah, tested with the same nasal swab kit that the CDC has said can't be trusted. It boggles my mind that people still actually believe that the CDC has their best interest at heart.
That’s fair enough. It’s a personal decision.
“Yep. Trust in the Lord for we are in that day.”
A man sat on his porch determined to ride out the hurricane. A police officer came and asked if he could evacuate the man. The man declined, saying “The Lord will protect me.” The water rose and covered the porch. A fire truck came, and the firefighters asked if they could evacuate the man. Again the man declined, saying “The Lord will protect me.” The flood water rose more, and forced the man onto his roof. A rescuer arrived in a boat, and asked the man if he could rescue the man. Again the man declined, saying “The Lord will protect me.” The water kept rising. As the man was treading water and about to drown the man asked God “Lord, I’ve been faithful to you. Why won’t you save me?” The Lord answered, saying “I sent you a police car, a fire engine and a boat. What do you want?”
Well if the car and the boat and the firetruck are on fire I’d stay safely in my home and trust the Lord and my ability to bail as much water as possible .....
