Do you have measles antibodies? Of course not.
Antiviral antibody responses were remarkably stable, with half-lives ranging from an estimated 50 years for varicella-zoster virus to more than 200 years for other viruses such as measles and mumps. Antibody responses against tetanus and diphtheria antigens waned more quickly, with estimated half-lives of 11 years and 19 years, respectively. B-cell memory was long-lived, but there was no significant correlation between peripheral memory B-cell numbers and antibody levels for five of the eight antigens tested.

So my ex, who is recently vaxxed, started feeling bad a couple days ago. Got tested yesterday and is positive for the rona.
Her symptoms came on very quickly. 101 fever, cough and heavy congestion, headache, fatigue, taste/smell loss.
I keep hearing the scientists say how rare this is, yet I now know multiole people that are vaxxed, have tested positive after the vaxx and have had very bad symptoms.
I must have some serious luck to know so many rare people!

I hope your better half recovers. This treatment of this virus is insane.
I have one question. Why would you knowingly put the spike protien into your body? I understand that it's to warn your immune system of the virus so you get less sick when the virus is actually encountered. With the booster shot program, you just keep introducing the spike protien over and over, what is the point? Eventually you are going to get sick with the virus either by the actual virus or by the shots that give you the virus.
Where does it end?

Like I said, I was listening in to the table convo of a guy who works in a hospital, and he was talking candidly with a friend. He flat out said that the vaccination won't keep you from getting it. He said he'd had the vax and gotten it. What he did say is that in his experience, he hadn't seen anyone in ICU who had gotten the shot yet.
So I'm not sure exactly what they're so big on pushing the shot for everyone for. OK. It can keep you out of the ICU, but is that benefit enough to put a gun to everyone's head who doesn't yet have the shot?
If our medical infrastructure is overrun by seriously ill people with covid, many others are left wanting and may die of non-covid due to lack of resources, caregivers and ICU beds. This has always been the goal.
That being said, I absolutely do not agree with vaccine mandates of any kind. The solution lies in beefing up medical infrastructure, not in taking away peoples rights.

Actually, you probably do. Enough for a lifetime, and then some.

Well yeah. And if a LOT of medical people quit rather than take the vaccine when it is demanded of them, where will we be then?
We performed a longitudinal analysis of antibody titers specific for viral antigens (vaccinia, measles, mumps, rubella, varicella-zoster virus, and Epstein-Barr virus) and nonreplicating antigens (tetanus and diphtheria) in 45 subjects for a period of up to 26 years.
An antibody titer test measures the amount of a specific type of antibodies in the blood. Antibodies are proteins created by the immune system to fight pathogens, such as viruses and bacteria.

Hi GS, "undetectable in 9 months." what went undetectable, Anti bodies, T-Cells, B-Cells or a host of other cells that are a part of your immune system?
Do you mean you lost all of this
Autoimmunity: From Bench to Bedside [Internet].
The common cold, and other viruses that don’t typically get past our upper respiratory tract, reinfect us not necessarily because they mutate rapidly, but because our body doesn't usually produce many antibodies against these pathogens in the first place, said Mark Slifka, an immunologist at the Oregon National Primate Research Center.
"Our bodies are not worried about the upper respiratory tract," he said. That's what we're seeing with mild cases of COVID-19. The virus sticks to the upper respiratory tract, where the body does not treat it like a threat. In a 2020 preprint study (meaning it hasn't been peer reviewed yet) published in the database MedRxiv, 10 out of 175 patients who had mild symptoms recovered from COVID-19 without developing detectable antibodies.
Experts are still baffled as to how long immunity against Covid-19 lasts for because it has only been around since December 2019. Antibody studies have suggested it may only offer short-lived immunity, like other coronaviruses.
But T cells — which can't be detected by the 'have you had it' antibody tests — made in response to the infection may offer a form of immunity that lasts several times longer.
Jan 2020 went to undetectable in 9 months
Vaccination induced rapid antigen-specific CD4+ T cell responses in naive subjects after the first dose, whereas CD8+ T cell responses developed gradually and were variable in magnitude. Vaccine-induced Th1 and Tfh cell responses following the first dose correlated with post-boost CD8+ T cells and neutralizing antibodies, respectively.

Does anyone still think it’s rare to catch covid and be fully vaccinated? I think we must all know someone at this point who fits that description.

Some people in the study never had any antibodies. I keep saying there's more about this virus we don't know than we know at this point. It's a waiting game.
The health part of this Thursday included a surprising figure: there are 43,779 active cases of coronavirus in Argentina . This figure marked a priori a "boom in recoveries" in just 24 hours: on Wednesday there were 189,980 infected . The quadruple. However, it has a technical explanation: an algorithm change .
