Are higher than normal COVID antibodies good or bad?

At one time, it was important to see whether you had had the disease….at this point, it is of no consequence.

Well for starters, higher than “normal” antibodies are generally a sign of a Covid infection and the lack of elevated antibodies in a natural immunity isn’t a “bad” thing and if that “doctor” is portraying them that way then I would greatly question her abilities. It would suggest the vaccine does little to fight off the infection resulting in repeated infections while the natural immunity seems to be preventing infection much better as evidenced by a lack of elevated antibodies.

So no shot needed just a test for $69. When will the govt mandate? Oh wait…

Higher antibodies of any kind are good. Think about it

The implication here is the extremely high antibody count even years after the vaccine is bad and could cause some of the vaccine injuries/side effects we’re seeing.
I can’t remember all of the specifics, but this doctor was on Rogan a month or two ago. Kind of a crazy story, she wasn’t actively practicing because she had young kids, decided to go back to work in Houston and opened a small clinic like 90 days before Covid and ended up wrapped up in some high profile lawsuits because she was using ivermectin and antibodies and anti vaccine early

Everybody's immune system is different
Doesnt really matter

its a complicated question
depends on the person
depends on what is considered an effective titer
depends on how long after exposure
depends if the vaccine gives a stronger response to natural
too many variables to give you a simple yes or no answer.

Personally, I’m just sitting here, popcorn in hand, waiting for crazy4lsu or lsunurse to bless us with their rock-solid, totally unbiased insights.

This. I got the shot when it first came out, had Covid 8 months later and just had it again 2 weeks ago. None of it makes sense.

Could be a sign of infection, or if it is looking specifically for antibodies against the spike protein, they will likely be significantly higher than based on infection. The vaccine trains on one specific target in the virus. When you get the virus itself, the body creates antibodies against multiple parts of the virus, so spike protein antibody levels can be lower.
It's why people who got the shot usually have to take a different antibody test that focuses only on spike protein.
In the end, unless you have comorbidities and in particular certain ones, then it's not that big of a deal.

Every virus is different, too. Coronaviruses are difficult to make a vaccine for because of their rapid mutability. The good thing is that even if you caught the virus after it had changed slightly from the one from which the vaccine was made, you still had enough effect from the vaccine to mitigate the effects of covid.
That was my situation. I had every shot and booster that was available but still caught a variant of the virus. I was laid up for three days but I have to say that it could have been much worse because I’m older and in the most susceptible group for novel viruses.

But I didn’t die and the length of suffering was much shorter than usual.

All antibodies declined with time. That's one reason we get boosters. It also depends on which molecular type they are testing for. IgG vs IgM. When the foreign body enters the body, antibodies are "awakened" and more are produced. Levels depend on time of last exposure. This is simplified.

So did billions of people without the vaccine or boosters

However, 5 million did die and they were almost all older adults whose immune systems were in decline; and those were just the documented deaths. African nations, for example, almost completely ignored the pandemic so we don’t know what happened there.
