Rapid Antigen Test Question
Posted on 1/4/22 at 6:50 pm

I was told today by a technician who administers rapid antigen tests that if you recently had the vaccine, and you had a sickness shortly thereafter, you could test positive because of the vaccine antibodies and not have had CoVid. Is that right? If so, just seems like the antigen test is completely unreliable in identifying vaccinated individuals having been exposed to the virus.

Yah I dont get it either. Where I'm at if you test positive for covid, you dont have to test again when required for 3 months after the fact.

Antigen tests are flimsy. The whole system is broken.

Rapid tests are only about 70% accurate. The inaccuracy tends to be false negatives.

I think the one thing we can agree on is that Americans of all political persuasions are really bad at statistics and logical deduction.

Whatever you do don’t trust a blond gal wearing a black turtleneck with the deep raspy voice who says she only needs a nanoliter of your blood.
You might wake up in a dirty motel bathtub full of ice missing a kidney.

The antigen tests , (or NAA or PCR tests) don’t identify immunized individuals. They identify people who have the virus. Antigen equals viral particles, aka capsid proteins , or DNA in the case of PCR.
TL,DR - what you were told is BS.
