Should we use COVID antibody testing?

Jan 8, 2022

This is a quickie.

In the past I advised to get COVID antibody tested.

Two different antibodies.

S - or Spike protein antibody if positive would indicate a response to a COVID vaccine OR a response to having had COVID. We can not use the S-antibody to distinguish between vaccine induced antibodies or those derived from infection

N - or Nucleocapsid antibody if positive indicated a response to having had COVID. This test would NOT be positive from just having a COVID vaccine.

So we were using the N-antibody to determine if you have had COVID and were therefore thought to be immune from further COVID infections.

But alas, there is always a twist in the COVID saga.

With the #Omronic variant or what I prefer to call the #Moronic variant, it appears like neither past infection with COVID nor vaccine induced antibodies are that protective against getting the Moronic variant. So while I understand how vaccines are supposed to help, the data I am seeing with respect to COVID and the Moronic strain is not that wonderful. So put on your thinking caps and use some common sense logic and critical thinking skills when you decide upon how to continue to prepare for COVID including thinking about the safety and efficacy of all treatments, especially the mRNA injections.

We do not yet know whether T-Cell positivity will provide immunity to the Moronic strain. I will be watching for data on this.

The good news is that most second infections tend to be milder than the first.

Key word is “most”. I did not say all. While the Moronic strain is the most abundant strain going around, the old Delta strain is still hanging on and that is what is most likely still keeping hospitals busy.

So far one of the main distinguishing symptoms of the Moronic strain is a bad sore throat. The Delta strain has more respiratory symptoms. So while the bad sore throat can be nasty, it has not as of yet landed people in the hospital, other than possibly the ER for some IV Fluids.
