Why don't ants get COVID? Because they have anty-bodies.
But seriously, I have some questions about COVID antibody tests that I'm hoping a few of you big brains can assist me with:
For the sake of this argument, let's assume that COVID 19 is real, and unique from influenza.
Let's also assume we are trying to detect the presence of C-19 in an asymptomatic individual.
All info below are snippets/my quick take from pages at cdc.gov.
-
Since PCR tests are ineffective at differentiating between C-19 and influenza (low specificity), they are being discontinued after 12-31-21. They do have a high sensitivity, so they can tell you that you're sick, but not with what sickness.
-
Antigen test (nasal swab) produces unreliable results (low sensitivity) unless there is a high viral load, usually in the presence of symptoms, so basically confirms that a sick person has C-19 (high specificity and high sensitivity when symptoms are present) if they are already showing signs of being sick. This is generally considered a screening test and would need confirmation from another kind of test.
-
NAAT. Like the antigen test, this is a nasal swab test that looks at RNA but is has higher specificity. These are higher cost, usually take 1-3 days, and few are available. This seems to be considered the gold standard but many, including me, do not want the government all up in my RNA.
-
Antibody tests indicate if a person has currently or has had C-19. The knock on this test is that the body may not produce detectable levels of antibodies until the person has been sick and contagious for a while. This is done with a finger poke/drop of blood and results are same day. Although blood is collected, this is not a genetic test.
So, some questions: If an asymptomatic person wanted to know if they were infected with C-19, and assuming an NAAT test is undesirable/unavailable, then wouldn't the antibody test be the best way to determine current infection? Plus you get the bonus of knowing whether or not you have acquired or currently possess some degree of immunity.
Shouldn't antibody testing be the standard of testing?
Shouldn't antibody presence, whether naturally or synthetically acquired, be the thing that is required, if anything is to be required (mandated)? In other words, why look for proof of vax when they should be looking for proof of antibodies? Especially since the antibodies produced by the vax eventually wane. Being vaxxed is no indication of immunity, as everyone on this board already knows.
I know some of your responses already: big pharma profits, big government control, and gaslighted public. But I am thinking that if anything is going to help us out of this mess it's going to come from recognition of natural immunity as being adequate, and using antibody tests as the standard of testing. There may be a lag in actual infection vs. symptoms expressing, but hasn't asymptomatic spread of C-19 been debunked? Someone tell me how the presence of antibodies shouldn't be the thing we are measuring.
Thanks in advance.
BIG QUESTION TO CDC, WHO AND FAUXI: Please prove that you have isolated the SARS-COV-2 virus, and any/all variants. Publish this information in peer-reviewed journals immediately.
After that, I MAY take a conversation re: CV-19/variants seriously. What the fuck are you testing against*? What is the constant (virus) you're comparing it to? Prove it motherfucker!
CDC needs to be releasing some reports on folks that have taken the jabs, its been a year now. we need to see some reports on these enslaving vaccines and dont leave out the deaths!
This assumption is based on the BIG LIE, in which the SCAMdemic is based on. It is for this reason, for the first time in human history, healthy people are being mandated to wearing masks and weekly testing. It is as much of an oxymoron as clean glass being declared 'dirty'.
There is no asymptomatic vector spread of disease. Period. There's as much of a asymptomatic spread of disease as being struck by a meteorite.
The PCR test was never intended as a diagnostic tool. The diagnosis of any respiratory ailment starts with the stethoscope and lungs. Traditional medicine. The PCR test is incapable of diagnosing ANY disease. Period.
The antigen test is as effective as a coin flip and is less effective than the PCR test. Our bodies are made of viruses some estimates of 370 trillion..... that is if you believe there's such thing as a virus...... which there is most certainly not. In all the history of virology and medicine no virus has ever been isolated and purified. Why? because they don't exist. The so-called virus is actually dead cell debris. This is what Germ Theory is based on and is actually taught as a theory in academics. Just as the theory of evolution is taught, it boils down to a religion.
Terrain Theory is a much better model. Germ Theory is based on LIES and FRAUD. It is the tool of Lucifer himself. Terrain Theory is also taught in academics, and explains disease without any flaws. The problem is there's no profit in it because it shows the real cause of disease and exposes truth. And the reason it is censored m attacked, and marginalized. One could say Terrain Theory is based on God's natural order.
Definitely agree on "the big lie" about asymptomatic spread being real. If this can be rebutted by science and promulgated to the masses, then there would be zero justification for any of this bs. I'm going to look for that science, I think I read about a study. Ironically, the people who MAY be able or at least would be more likely to spread C-19 asymptomatically are the vaxxed, as apparently all the vax does is mask symptoms.
Yes, it is referred to as 'shedding'. This is a man-made phenomena. It does not exist in Nature. Vaccines make one toxic to others. Is this God-given? No. Is our God-given immune system suprfeme. yes. Man kind cannot out do what God has already provided. This hold true ubiquitously.
That's a pretty huge assumption
HERE'S MY FIRST-PERSON EXPERIENCE to answer your question.
Yes, the antibody test can be gotten to see if you have developed antibodies. It has to be no sooner than two weeks following the exposure. Our local Sonora Quest labs will do one by request. You'll have your answer in less than 48 hrs. No doctor's orders needed. It cost $99.00
IMPORTANT: There is a preferred time frame for testing:
Too soon after exposure or infection and they won't have developed fully. Too late and they start to wane. The best time is approx 2 weeks post exposure or infection.

Both my daughter and I had the blood tests after exposure to a freshly vaxxed person who was shedding.
Daughter who suffers from sinus infections developed some symptoms that I felt were sinus related and not Covid. She tested negative for CV-19, but had stomach ache, fever and malaise along with sinus pressure and sinus drainage. I developed no symptoms.
Husband developed bad symptoms and after 14 days of at-home care I realized he needed more help and took him to the ER. He has several co-morbidities and with vigilant monitoring I saw his oxygen saturation slowly dropping and when they dropped below 90, it was time to go. (I did treat him with Ivermectin for 5 days + vitamins and they kind of arrested things, but didn't clear it. Now I realize I could have dosed him much higher (as is now being suggested) since he is a big guy which may have made the difference.
So the ER said husband tested positive for CV-19, and had 89 O2 levels. He was admitted.
He recovers and comes back home, thank goodness. That is another story...
Note: I had been taking weekly Ivermectin for months as had daughter. When husband got sick he admitted that he had never taken any of the stash that I had purchased for him. Grrr.
Meanwhile I still had NO symptoms. Was I immune? Did the Ivermectin prevention protocol work? Or was I simply an asymptomatic carrier?
Two weeks after that, both daughter and I go get the blood test to see what it would show. She still is testing negative, but her blood showed a good deal of antibodies. Mine showed virtually none.
I think the antibodies showed she was fighting SOMETHING which in my opinion was the sinus infection.
Later she went to an ENT who confirmed she had an infection in her sinus.
2 months later, she went in and repeated the test. She still had antibodies, but they were now about half!
I hope that helps.
That does help me understand a few things, but I was looking for validation that the antibody test is really the only or best way to diagnose actual COVID. Also my premise is that vaccines should not be mandated; if people want others to be immune, they should be looking for antibodies, not proof of vaccine. Without antibodies, the vaccine wasn't effective. Getting the shot, alone, is not enough.
My personal feelings are that C-19 is about as deadly as the flu, and if you have the flu, stay home. If you don't have the flu, go about your business. It is not a pandemic, except by the definition that the cabal has come up with to drive their agenda.
Thanks for sharing your story and I hope all is well. I also am on ivermectin prophylactic therapy and recent tests for antibodies shows that I have none.
Same here. Been on the Ivermectin protocol since January 2020, very small antibody activity in blood test taken weeks after full exposure to two sick people and one viral shedder who'd gotten the jab.
Here's my determination for diagnosing a COVID type virus vs cold/regular flu:
~Loss of taste and/or smell within days of exposure
~Runny nose with dry cough that becomes spasmodic and constant
~Fever that persists
~Oxygen levels that are dropping. (Must have pulse oximeter to determine.)
Optional:
~Stomach and gastro upset
~Headache
~Body pains
~Malaise
~Buzzing in ears or noticeably reduced hearing
Your line of thinking is correct that in a sane world antibody testing would be the standard.
I'm pretty damn sure I had it in December of 2019 but the antibody test I had several months later when they became available was negative. However the tests were new and who knows how reliable, also supposedly antibodies fade so it's the memory of your T and B cells that matters as they recognize the virus and trigger new antibody generation immediately. I'm not sure at this moment how to test for that and wasn't looking into it lately since they want to jab everyone so badly I couldn't substitute that test anyway.
