Cruise ship with all passengers and crew required to be v******ted have positive tests (Page 3): I think I heard that Faucci once claimed that the moon was made of green cheese.

As you saw in the prior post of mine, anyone is free to go get an antibodies test. My doctor is suggesting everyone interested in knowing their levels and especially those who are immuno-c*********d to get checked rather than have false sense of protection. I’ve not seen anything different from the government and I know quite a few people in TN and VA who have been to testing.

FDA doesn't think so.

Not recommended as a sole diagnostic tool, but useful as a determinant of level of protection against C***d.

It’s a constantly changing recommendation. FDA page needs updating to latest thoughts based on new testing protocols.

FDA approved tests.

Per your website post: https://www.cdc.gov/c****av***s/2019-ncov/lab/resources/antibody-tests-guidelines.html

Antibody testing is not currently recommended to assess for immunity to SARS-CoV-2 following C****-** v******tion, to assess the need for v******tion in an unv******ted person, or to determine the need to quarantine after a close contact with someone who has C****-**. Some antibody tests will not detect the antibodies generated by C****-** v*****es. Because these v*****es induce antibodies to specific v***l protein targets, post-v******tion antibody test results will be negative in persons without history of previous infection, if the test used does not detect antibodies induced by the v*****e.

See previous postings and the tests now available. Obviously, doctors are following their own counsel. There have been significant updates since April.

Check the availability in any state and you’ll see that they’re easily obtained.

I agree, antibody testing is available for persons who have had C***D, but it's a different story for those that have been v******ted and have not had the v***s. Even your last two website posts verify that. Tests for antibodies will only show positive if the person tested has had the v***s. It is still recommended that v******ted persons not have antibody tests because it will show negative.

Wrong in every situation that I’m aware. People are getting boosters earlier than first recommended because antibody testing shows a lower protection level than expected. These are all for people who have been v******ted and not knowingly had the infection. Doctors are ordering them for their v******ted patients and making medical decisions in the result. Go ahead and see if you can go get an antibody test. Our neighbor who is immuno-c*********d and had v******tions only is scheduled for the test next week. Go ahead and do it; I hope your antibodies are high.
