I saw a small study that showed evidence of like a 2000% boost in antibodies in that scenario, but it hasn’t been peer reviewed.

Spike, I genuinely hope you are ok and I take this lightly because we have every reason to believe that you will be.

My wife seems to be over all symptoms except for fatigue. She says it comes and goes throughout the day, unlike any virus she’s had before.

I tested again a day or two ago and was still negative.

Spike, if you had tested positive what would you be doing differently? For the sake of this conversation, what would you be doing differently for the next week.

Assuming you feel exactly the same regardless of positive or negative result.

Not a whole lot. I’m masking around the patients, and sleeping in the guest room - so wouldn’t be a point to those if I was also positive. I went to the grocery store for the first time today, since I’m still asymptomatic and the girls are supposedly past their infection window.

So there’s no reason for you to get tested.

Sure there is. If I test positive, I’ll know when to start my quarantine, and also if I should get a PCR test on the books so we can travel to see my wife’s family abroad in the coming months.

So wait, is it “not a whole lot” or is it “quarantine”?

why don't you just let me know what you're after here, bammer.

are you really this obtuse?

vaccines, boosters and mask will not eliminate the virus. the whole point of them is to lessen your chances of catching it (masks) and if you do catch it and are vaxxed and boosted your chances are very minimal (though still possible) to end up in the hospital. i have trouble breathing before i had covid until they got my heart issues in check and i can promise you there isnt much scarrier than not being able to breathe like normal

Yes, there still was a chance they could get really sick, but they helped their chances. This isn’t rocket science.

This is all true. However, what is also true is that Pfizer had a 2021 Q3 profit of over $13billion (read over 1 billion dollars per week).

Of course. Seat belts work. It's also the law.

Seatbelts don't always work though. Aren't you afraid you're going to get trapped in your car and burn to death?
