I would assume a majority do not have a primary care physician that they see on the reg. I fully hope they figure out how long antibodies last but if I currently have the antibodies (as of last time I gave blood) honestly why get the vaccine? (Not trying to start an argument am just curious as to your thoughts)

You don’t know if you still have the antibodies. You do know that the vaccine works and is safe. I was in quarantine for like 5 weeks while my entire family got covid. I got tested 7 times. Negative every time. I still got the vaccine as soon as I could, will get the booster as soon as I can, and will put my little girls in a full Nelson to make them get the vaccine once it’s approved for their age later this year.

Also, my kids are very normal about hating shots and freaking the eff out. So when they asked why we got vaccines but we didn’t this spring, I told them it was because scientists were still working on “mosquito bite technology” to administer the kids’ shots with special needles designed like mosquito bites that are super sneaky and don’t hurt. I’ve been laying that groundwork for six months, and every time they get a mosquito bite now they’re like “wow that was a great idea, scientists!”

just went today and got a $50 gift card at dillons. maybe another $50 for the second shot. but there is some harm though, have to consider that side effects could prevent you from doing some things depending on how bad or how long they last.

how does one lose antibodies? is it like each antibody has a certain lifespan, so it doesn't matter if you have a billion or a gazillion of them, they'll just die at the same time? or is it like you lose a certain amount each day, so if you had a gazillion of them you're set for life?

'grats on vaxing and thank you :cheers:


dunno about antibody lifespan but honestly don't care. Just blindly following the advice of doctors and scientists because they know more than me and there isn't some grand conspiracy.

An individual antibody molecule like IgG has a half life of about 30 days in the plasma before it gets recycled. Plasma cells (a descendant of B cells) moving in the blood stream produce more antibodies as needed.  Adaptive immunity (the part of the immune system that distinguishes between self and nonself antigens in response to infections or vaccinations) is truly incredible.

Ben ji's dad has had the vid for about a week. Fever and bad cough/congestion but doing better the last couple of days.

Parents were planning to leave on a road trip out west on Saturday but that has been delayed now.

Unvaccinated of course.
Guess who got his first shot today?!? Besides still feeling like crap 4 weeks after getting Covid the thing that put him over the top is he was out on the farm and in western KS they are offering some sort of "Rural Incentive" where you get a $50 gift card for getting chipped.

It was too good of a deal to pass up.

Hopefully it was just for the $50. Be kinda like putting a condom on to have sex with your pregnant wife at this point since it’s been 4 weeks.

Toss in a bit of snake venom and Benji's dad is prob gonna be asking people w/ covid to cough in his face just to test all he new armor out.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

Yeah, I'm starting to think everyone has had it already in some form. Stay safe, cf3! Make sure to take plenty of cough medicine and cough drops.

Mrs SF has it. She is achy and has a bit of sinus stuff. Nothing bad though. She is quarantined in the bedroom. I'm still negative, but have no idea how. Going to wait another day and test to see if I have still somehow avoided. If it weren't for the kids, I'd prob just go in and lick her face just to get it over with. It appears that we are all getting this one at some point.

When did you test positive?  If you make it through without losing taste/smell you may be a superhuman and require additional clinical study.

I've had enough tests and antibody tests that I'm certain that I haven't had it. I'm getting annoyed at how frequently I've had to test because of close contacts and exposures at work.

Sunday. Most people I know getting it now aren't losing taste and smell. Just watching movies with the kids and playing board games. Gonna kick their butt in Risk shortly.

Had my first known close contact. I got boosted roughly two weeks ago so I'm at peak immunity right now from what I've read. Was around the person for about a half hour yesterday and they texted me this morning that they had symptoms and tested positive. Also was around two others yesterday that have fevers today but they are waiting on results. Advice I was given was to mask up for a few days and get tested on day five if I don't come down with any symptoms before then.

Drive to a Walgreens and also check the CVS that is prob across the street. Don't rely on the website to see if they have any available. The at home tests are around, you just have to get a bit lucky.

or if you're vaxxed and aren't sick and don't need to be around anyone immunocompromised: don't get tested
