Jon, asking as a fellow Covid survivor, is there any numbers on how protective antibodies are against reinfection? I had the regeneron infusion and was told I’ll have to wait 90 days before I could get vaccinated. If antibodies offer protection, what would be the rush to get vaccinated until your body doesn’t show antibodies anymore?

There is evidence vaccines produce a more robust antibody response. This helps hit that 90% effective number. With natural infection the protection is actually lower, as you can see in the picture below, convalescent people who have recovered from covid-19 have less neutralizing antibodies.




With that said, we’re just talking about IgG antibodies. Here’s another study about antibody response in natural infection and also talks about immunity in general and not just antibodies:

AAAS

science.sciencemag.org science.sciencemag.org

It’s still a relatively hot topic, how long does previous infection protective immunity last? I don’t think we know for sure yet, but what has been published so far is the odds of reinfection are low but it does happen.

I got my vaccine because it’s almost been a year since my infection (Easter 2020) and I come in contact with patients every day, so I also want to be guilt free hugging my mom when I visit. Vaccines are produced to get these cells in your body to fight potential infection, so if you already have those cells, why bother yet? I agree and it’s a good question — it’s just hard to quantify.

Very interesting information, Thanks. Will be interesting to see also if having had the regeneron if it could lead to any stronger side effects from the vaccine.

Hubby and I got J&J on Monday. Both of us had sore arms but I ended up feeling like crap yesterday. It lasted about 12 hrs then I felt fine. Both of us are fine today with slightly sore arms
 
Has anyone seen the report from Washington state that over 100 people contracted Covid after their 2nd vax? Not the news I'm looking to hear about

“Out of the 1.2 million people who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 in Washington, epidemiologists have reported evidence of 102 breakthrough cases in 18 counties since Feb. 1, representing less than 0.01% of all fully vaccinated individuals in the northwestern U.S. state”

Did You Know 3,964 Have Died From The COVID-19 Vaccines?

If you listed to the CDC, or Snopes, or any of the “Fact Checking” organizations, they are proud to tell you “not one single person” has died from the COVID vaccine. The only problem? We fact-checked the Fact Checkers and find that claim FALSE. Many reports are circulating of people who died...

At least read the article before commenting thanks. I’m not trying to say or scare anyone I just like to post articles related to COVID.

I would find a better source than the one you cited... propaganda oriented
 
I'm participating in a study at Johns Hopkins researching the immune response in transplant patients after getting the covid-19 vaccine. I just heard back that my blood sample sent in 3 weeks after my first Moderna shot is negative, which isn't a surprise given that only about 20% mounted an immune response following their first dose. I did think that being in the two categories with better outcomes so far (young and having received Moderna) that I might have had antibodies. Fingers crossed that the second shot provides some better protection!

It seems some states are having another surge in cases.
Michigan is the worst so far:
March 15: 1,945 new cases
April 1: 7,000 new cases.
And their hospitalizations as a result are moving back up:
March 15: 989 COVID-19 patients
March 31: 1,769 COVID-19 patients
 
My dad had surgery yesterday to remove a kidney tumor. Diagnoses is strong and he wont even need chemo since they got all the cancer yesterday and it was caught super early.

I've been in this hospital dozens of times over the years for family and friends. It's a very large hospital and it was a straight out GHOST TOWN in there. Walking to the cafeteria usually pass people constantly. Not a soul to be seen hardly. At one point I took a wrong turn and there wasnt even anyone to ask how to get where I was going. Amazing how empty that place was.
 
P.1 (Brazil) variant is now the one to track. Evidence of it being deadlier in younger people, and spreading 2x easier.

Canada update coming later today.



There’s an outbreak in British Columbia of P.1, linked to a Ski resort outbreak. It’s now overtaken the UK variant in Canada as a percentage of cases.

I worry about opening up as the P.1 variant becomes seeded in the United States. The CDC reports variant cases here,

www.cdc.gov

COVID-19 and Your Health

Symptoms, testing, what to do if sick, daily activities, and more.
www.cdc.gov www.cdc.gov

which shows 58 cases in Mass, 55 cases in Florida, 33 in California, 19 in Illinois, 13 in Washington. Obviously community spread is occurring. How fast can we vaccinate to prevent a surge in P.1 in the US?

The vidant hospital run vaccination center here is as well oiled and streamlined as you could ever hope for. My 2 stepsons got their shots yesterday and my wife said start to finish it was 21 minutes including the 15 minute obs period. I can only hope other centers are as smooth.

Glad I’m getting vaccinated soon. Seems like these vaccines are still effective against the P1 variant? I’ll be getting either Pfizer or Moderna.
