re: For Those Who Got Vaccinated...

You gain 3" with the Pfizer

Nope. Got the shot. No biggie.

Did you first get an antibody test?

Yes and I tested negative for antibodies. So I got the Moderna.

have never heard about antibody test.

What? Get antibody tested?

I don’t own a gun, but I support the right of those who do.

I ‘ve been vaccinated, but support those who wish not to, to not.


Nothing that I have read or seen or heard has suggested that an unvaccinated person is more harmful to me than a vaccinated person. In fact, vaccinated people are more harmful because they are more likely to be infected and spreading COVID than an unvaccinated person.

So what do I care if someone doesn’t want it, it’s all on them.

The presence of antibodies has very little to do with natural immunity

Nope. Got the Pfizer in April and didn’t do antibodies test. Wanted to get it because my wife works in health care and is exposed to Covid patients all the time.

That being said…I am showing symptoms consistent with the flu as I type this. Having trouble keeping up with my 1 year old and her perpetual ball of energy.

Prior covid plus vax equals extra-immunity power, especially for variants.

Even people who have recovered from COVID-19 are urged to get vaccinated, especially as the extra-contagious delta variant surges — and a new study shows survivors who ignored that advice were more than twice as likely to get reinfected.

Friday's report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention adds to growing laboratory evidence that people who had one bout of COVID-19 get a dramatic boost in virus-fighting immune cells — and a bonus of broader protection against new mutants — when they're vaccinated.

There’s little information yet on reinfections with the newer delta variant. But U.S. health officials point to early data from Britain that the reinfection risk appears greater with delta than with the once-common alpha variant, once people are six months past their prior infection.

The CDC recommends full vaccination, meaning both doses of two-dose vaccines, for everyone.

But in a separate study published Friday in JAMA Network Open, Rush University researchers reported just one vaccine dose gives the previously infected a dramatic boost in virus-fighting immune cells, more than people who have never been infected get from two shots.

Other recent studies published in Science and Nature show the combination of a prior infection and vaccination also broadens the strength of people's immunity against a changing virus. It's what virologist Shane Crotty of California's La Jolla Institute for Immunology calls “hybrid immunity.”

Vaccinated survivors “can make antibodies that can recognize all kinds of variants even if you were never exposed to the variant,” Crotty said. “It’s pretty sweet.”
