"However, antibody tests should not be used at this time to determine immunity or protection against COVID-19 at any time, and especially after a person has received a COVID-19 vaccination."
The FDA has lost all credibility.
Now, not only can't you test a "non-vaxed" person for antibodies against Covid... but you can't text "vaxed" people to see if the vaccine actually works. :>(
Coded a pt chart who had, had covid last year, had the jab this year, presented with chest pain, drs did a covid test, it was positive but they didn't know if the + was from an acute covid infection, a false positive or from the jab.
What finding led Merck to abandon their Covid 19 vaccines? A person who recovered from Covid 19 has a better level of immunity than a vaccine provides.
Great question! They did say that the body's own immunity after contracting covid was the best defense. But none of the other current vax producers joined them. I haven't had the most respect for Merck because they do produce pharmaceuticals but I was glad to see them make a common-sense decision.
That's because there is a new test "T-detect", Newly EUA, $150 a pop. Supposedly picks up T cells, more "accurate" than anti- body test. It's bullshit. "THE VIRUS" was NEVER truly isolated. They say they did, genome sequence all that, but the manner in which those results ware achieved is garbage. Remove the PCR test. and this whole thing collapses.
I tried one of these T-cell tests because it was rated as accurate but it said I had no antibodies.
That's no surprise. It tests for T-cells not antibodies. T-cells outlast antibodies by decades. But since they haven't isolated the covid-19 virus, I don't see how they can produce any sort of test for antibodies or T-cells.

FDA has become part of Clown World.
Dont check to see if ya got a placebo. That would be to telling.
I thought they wanted people to get these tests... part of the booster push.

Natural immunity is eons better than any vax or experimental jab. Lasts a lifetime.
How much more proof is needed that this is not about the science or the virus?

All part of their agenda. What they don't tell you is the mRNA shot actually REMOVES any antibodies one has to the virus in the first place.
And that is why the Red Cross is telling those who have taken the shot not to donate their plasma to those who need the antibodies.
Fabulous Fodder From Flag Fren!
Awww closing a loophole eh fda? Classy
Don't care never getting the shots.
