(and don’t quote me on this)
That natural antibodies have the ability to evolve to handle variations, but vaxxed plus natural antibodies is good too

Wish we had a covid forum … but I wish we had a TOON forum as well, one place to find the day’s TOONS

suggested that COVID-antibodies were less effective against the delta variant than those created by vaccines. (I can't find the article at the moment but it was within the last 2 weeks.)

Not bulletproof to be sure but I trust you already know that, lol.

Sucks you had to go through COVID. I hope it wasn't horrible. COVID "classic" was nasty as hell, Delta is a __cking monster.

Had covid end December into January. Shots about three months later.

I will get booster if needed, but not looking forward to it.

level of antibodies was the one that had covid and was vaccinated. Which makes sense. Covid would be like the first shot. The vaccine would be shot 2 and 3.

Titers were highest in COVID survivors and one injection. However, that’s just neutralizing antibodies. B and T cell response was not documented

First shot, then covid, then second shot.

I have working under the assumption that I have higher immunity but certainly don't want to test the theory.
