and it looks like the omicron isn't really a variant. It was engineered in a lab in south africa and just like the original chi com virus, it escaped. That's why the vaccines don't do bupkis , it's a different strain. It doesn't kill people. Stays in the upper respiratory region. So there's that. Does it provide some immunity against the other strains, remains to be seen. Maybe some. Hope so. Crazy scientists need to be shot. sc
@August West Also, how does an antibody test distinguish between someone who had covid and recovered, someone who currently has it, and someone who has elevated titers from getting the jab? And how are false positive and negative rates determined? The use of a second type of test? And how is the accuracy of that test determined?
