Since I have wandered so far afield from the thread . . . . I've been reading up on covid, and the vaccine recently. The anitbodies that you develop from the virus are different from the vaccination antibodies. Which is why they're recommending vaccination even after recovering from the virus. And here's an interesting quote from Houston Methodist Hospital:
In fact, a recent study found that unvaccinated adults were twice as likely to get reinfected with COVID-19 than those who got vaccinated after they'd recovered from their illness.
"We still know very little about the immune system's response to this virus, including how long protective immunity may or may not last," Dr. Septimus warns. "What we do have a clear understanding of is the strong protection that vaccine-induced immunity provides."
