Obviously both could prove a previous infection but theoretically would the T-Cell test prove that the natural immunity would be more of a reality?

It doesn't matter. You must get the vaccine even though the mandate is not based on science.

Antibodies go away in months. T-Cells is for longevity.

T-Cell assay is a helluva lot more accurate

T-Cell Test Kit

This popped up on my interwebs search. Apparently it has been “blessed” by FDA with an EUA as well.

I appears it’s around $200 unless you want them to come to your house to administer then it would be $300+

That is awesome. It would put an end to the mandate in a sane world.

It is available, but is only approved out to 11 months.

T detect is the name of the test and it cost 219.00 (test plus local lab fee)

I got it done because I was sure I had covid in Jan 2020. I tested neg but my probable infection was 20 months previous.

Just get the shot. It’s only a one time thing until months later when you just have to get one more shot. And then just one more.........

Is a t-cell test specific? Meaning could you have had ANY infection that triggered a t-cell response?

Are they just checking an elevation or can they isolate what the body produced and it is marked to fight Covid?

Gat an ID doc or Epidemiologist in here STAT!

T detect is very specific for Covid 19.

T Detect read all about it.

You'd need a titer, which can be pretty expensive.
