Now that you've done that then it into a time series from date of infection / vaccination. Can you do that in the next ten minutes for me?

Cool graphs thanks

I'm fully vaccinated and am recovering from covid. After this how good should my immunity be?
I'd say very good. But I'm not a Dr

As good as it can possibly be according to current data that is available. This is the best possible scenario assuming you kick COVID without any complications.

Question from an old technologically challenged guy. I had the Moderna second dose in Late January. Thanks to this forum I got the antibodies test. Just not sure what the results mean. Any help with interpretation is appreciated. Specifically the question is should I get the 3rd shot or is my immunity still sufficient - pretty sure I qualify.


N- Test: NEGATIVE
SPIKE PROTEIN: POSITIVE
SPIKE QUANTITATIVE 394
This means you have a great response to the mRNA vaccine and no evidence of wild immunity.
Thank you for the response. I see many post with spike Quantitative of 2,000 +. My level of 394 appears to be very low comparatively. Does great response indicate still protected at this level? Just a little anxious as I recently had my prostate removed... Don't have a follow up with my Doc for a month.

Great!

I'm currently sitting in my guest room prison feeling 100 percent normal besides my smell and taste.

I've been watching Goliath all day and trying to smell different candles.

My latest test - the third one. Had covid Dec 2020.

Eta: No vaccine.

I asked to be included in future testing.

You joke, but I had actually started to do that but decided against partly because the data set is still pretty small for that kind of breakdown, and partly because I decided I needed to get back to my paying job rather than continuing to tinker. Maybe as we get more data I'll give it a shot.

Just did this survey abs first draw this week.

32 year old male, unvaccinated. Positive PCR in July of 2021.

Do we really know what these numbers are telling us yet? Other than yes, you have or do not have antibodies?

KidDoc

That is one of the purposes of the study, to figure out what antibody level correlates to immunity. We know that for viruses that didn't just appear in the last few years.

Yours are looking pretty low but still present, if it trends down over the next few months you need to seriously consider vaccine. Although you will likely still have decent T cell production which is more difficult to measure.

Thanks for the response KidDoc. I had a very mild case, so judging from other responses on this thread, that is pretty common. Definitely will look into a vaccine if it trends down on my next draw.

Thank you

You should have gotten a text with a number saying you're enrolled. If you didn't, you might try again or call them.

Yeah try it again. Maybe you made a typo. You get a "you are ready to go" text within seconds of completion.

Out of range/positive on both tests.

Was pretty sure I got it in January but I never got tested. I had some sore muscles and slight loss of smell for a couple days, but would not have noticed it had people in my family not tested positive at the same time.

34 year old healthy male.

So if you have had it (I had it early august) when can you get the vax or should you even get the vax? Are you supposed to wait 90 days or is that a myth?

I'm in the same boat Jack. Had in Mid July. Received my antibody results back and they didn't seem that high. Would like to entertain getting a boost from a vaccine, but now sure how long to wait and if it's worth doing?

Until there is some real data showing reinfections are occurring at something other than 1 in a million odds i will not get vaccine. On top of that I'm pretty sure of the reinfections that have occurred the symptoms are less severe than the first infection. I barely even noticed my first infection. Likely would not even notice it the 2nd time.

On top of that I'm pretty sure of the reinfections that have occurred the symptoms are less severe than the first infection. I barely even noticed my first infection. Likely would not even notice it the 2nd time.
Most of the data indicates that the possibility of reinfection does exist. The Israeli study indicated its more like 1 in 1,000 and the Ohio study found something like 0.67% of people tested positive again.

It appears that there is some disagreement over how long an individual can still test positive after initial infection. Most think it is > 90 days but it could be more with certain individuals. Most people don't take tests again after initial infection - primarily because if reinfection does occur. the symptoms are almost always milder. A few people have died from reinfection but they were sever covid cases first go around and elderly with comorbidities (based on the studies).

Most of the information out there hints at long-lasting and durable immunity but there is debate as to how long that may be... I think it is enough to keep me off the vaccine for now but am closely following the data and information in the event that it changes.

Got my results back over the weekend. I got the Pfizer shot at the end of February, and to my knowledge have not had Covid yet.

Spike Protein + (235)
SARS-CoV 2 Total - (0)

It is interesting to see the wide variance of lab results. for example my parents got the Moderna shot in Mid February and their spike protein antibody levels were 1200+ and 1800+. It is certainly interesting data, but is there really any good way to make sense of it at all?

It seems like collecting antibody data from patients at least in hospital would provide a relevant data point across both vaccinated and unvaccinated populations- is that being done?

If you got the vaccine and then had a break through case, would you expect to see only positive spike protein antibodies, or additional Antibodies as well? I had a runny nose and some nasal congestion, along with a muting of my sense of taste/smell a few weeks ago but never got tested. I was curious if maybe that was a mild break through case of Covid which is why I decided to go ahead and sign up for the study.

Me, wife, two daughters all vaxxed with pfizer. Two had covid as well (wife mid-January, daughter unknown... unsymptomatic or minimally symptomatic... only know due to 1st draw antibody early Feb).

Three of us are in the study, but my needle-phobic daughter declined. She tested positive for Covid Saturday (1st symptoms Sunday after Austin concert Wednesday which is where she caught it). Me (vax but never covid) negative. Other daughter (previous covid, plus vax) that was in confined car with her M/T/W is negative. Wife (vax and covid Jan 2020) no results yet, but will be negative.

Just throwing this out there for info, that obviously a Feb. Pfizer vax can still contact covid (was mild... stuffy nose, fatigue, and later loss of smell, which prompted test).

Did you sign up for the CPL site yet? You can check the results by them before the text from Texas Cares comes I believe.
