@Aqua-Letifer well that in a nutshell, is really what no one knows.
We may need corona shots every year. No one really has a fucking clue.
Then I’m covered

My doctor told me to not bother with the antibody test. What does it really change? We still don't really know how much (if any) immunity it confers. Also, it looks like the antibodies fade so quickly in many cases that it doesn't even really give you an idea of spread.
Based on my extensive, zero years of medical training, I think that if you have had the virus before and have recovered, your body would at least on some level be able to combat the virus more easily a second time. The docs here can correct me if I'm wrong, but I kinda doubt that this is the sort of illness where you start from zero every time you get infected.
I have twice as much experience as you.
It seems to me if the immune system makes it go away without symptoms, you should be able to do it again. Even if the immune system doesn't remember it. Assuming the original conditions still exist.

That's fascinating, bach. Post any additional information you can, too
LuFinn, hubby and I also were ill in February with symptoms exactly like what we later learned were common for COVID. Got tested much later, as in three months later, and no antibodies detected. I still think we could have had it. Probably will never know.

Bumping this up because this paper was just published.
If you recall, or you can read thru the thread to see, I was IgA positive way before getting vaxxed. No one had any clear idea about why.
This publication is basically about me. And a few others who were IgA positive.
Not sure what it all actually means but at least I can follow up on this thread.

When you shake someone's deep sense of self-worth, leaving a scar in their ego, they will persistently try to diminish you through petty arguments & obsessive captious criticism of your actions, just to soothe the wound.
