Given today's good news, it seems like the logical thing to do.

I can tell you one thing. If I'm positive, they will never convince me to get the vax.

If I'm negative, I'm waiting for Novavax.

If you test negative for antibodies that just means you haven't had Covid recently.

Your body doesn't flood itself with antibodies for every single virus and bacteria you've ever encountered in your life, but it does keep track of what it's found and what's worked out well. You may have had it long enough ago for your body to stop producing antibodies but it still knows how to fight it and will start production on antibodies once it detects Covid 19, or a Covid 19 variant, again.

Why does any of it matter in the first place? I probably had it last year, but idk for sure and I don’t care. I’m not wasting my time getting tested or finding out if I have antibodies. It doesn’t benefit me in any way. The vaccines don’t benefit me in any way. There’s no reason for me to even think about any of this outside of it all being ridiculous bullshite.

Had a medium case of Covid (shortness of breath, fatigue, fever, etc.) that lasted about a week back in April, 2021. Took an antibody test in August and was still positive. Will continue to get one every month, as I get one free test a month on insurance. Also, looking into Novavax this fall/winter after I test negative on antibodies at some point.

You skurred your T cells and B cells don’t work if no circulating antibodies?

Go give blood. They do a free antibody test when you do. Win/win.

Had Covid in September of 2020, and tested positive for antibodies in April and August of 2021. I'll be finding out in the next 48 hours if I'm eligible to donate plasma for infusions.

The absence or presence of antibodies is not an accurate measure of your long term immunity.

You’re currently immune from smallpox, and have no smallpox antibodies.

If you are healthy enough to wait, why take one at all? Are there "long term studies" as to long term effects of Novavax?
