"Antibodies are the name of the game. No matter how you get them, they are the key. Heck, even our state epidemiologist says so. Many folks need the vaccines to get the antibodies, but certainly not all. Let's be smarter in how we go forward into the future."
Last Friday, my wife and I received the Moderna booster shot. It was just like the initial vaccination, only half strength. We were about eight months out from our second shot, so due to our age, it was time to get it. Or was it? The medical experts think that the initial shots from both Pfizer and Moderna start to wane after six months. Or is it eight months? Bottom line - they don't know. Plus, everyone is different. What would be the smart thing to do? Test for antibodies before rendering judgement, or giving another vaccination, which might not be needed at that time.
How about if you have already had Covid? Or had Covid before the CCP admitted there was such as thing (highly probable). Or have excellent natural immunity? The smart thing to do would be to give everyone an antibody test. If you score high on antibodies, there would be no need for the shot. No need for the mandates. No need to lose high quality cops, EMTs, nurses, teachers, and so on.
This mandatory vaccination thing has got much of the country tied up in knots right now. Absolutely, no need for it. We are suppose to go on a cruise this winter. We have been notified that before we set one foot on the ship, we need to show a current Covid shot card (probably with booster also), be masked up, and have a very recent (within 3 days) Covid test. Missing any of those, will revoke your boarding privileges. This is stupid. Showing the results of an antibody test should be all you need. It should not matter how you get your antibodies, as long as you have them. Yes, vaccinations are one way, but not the only way.
Had lunch with a friend last week, who is recovering from Covid. He had it about as bad as one could have it. Almost died in the ICU. But he is recovering now, and I can only imagine how rich his blood is with antibodies. How long with they last? Hopefully, a very long time. And yet, if he and his wife were feeling well enough to go on a cruise this coming spring, he could not get on the ship without being vaccinated. Vaccinated to let his body create antibodies, even though his blood could still be rich with them in the spring. I just don't get it.
Joe Biden wants us to think he is the smartest guy in the room, because he follows the science. Really? His mandate on being vaccinated is not smart. Losing valuable heroes, when we still really need them, is not smart. Are we doing this Covid thing right or wrong? Mostly right, but the wrongs are unfortunate blemishes.
Antibodies are the name of the game. No matter how you get them, they are the key. Heck, even our state epidemiologist says so. Many folks need the vaccines to get the antibodies, but certainly not all. Let's be smarter in how we go forward into the future.
The antibody test is apparently very expensive. No excuse for a mandate, of course. And many with natural immunity were never tested and never very ill.
