The conservative case for Mass-Antibody testing update 9/13/21
Proving true, lasting, natural immunity should be accessible, but according to scientists in France, no working Serology test capable of this, currently exists.
Update: This article was an idea that I will render moot in light of new information that has come my way. Here it is:
“Christian Perronne: Just one comment to add to what Anne-Marie said: we should have reliable serological tests by now. Serology involves taking a blood sample and looking for the antibodies your body has made against a virus if you had the disease weeks or months ago. The problem is, no laboratory in the world has developed a reliable serological test. That's awful.
The French doctor David Mendels has published a publication in which he compares several serological tests (about twelve; I don't remember the exact number) from China, Germany, France, and other countries. They were all evaluated by the Pasteur Institute in Paris, France. Most of these tests were bullshit. You could not correctly determine the number of antibodies.
I find this terrible because I think the scientific community did not want to develop reliable serological tests [because of] some conflicts of interest because if we had, we could see today that most British, French, Germans, and Spanish are immune.
But if they showed that it would be a big problem for the drug companies to market because they couldn't enforce the vaccination policy because I believe that most of the people in Europe and other countries around the world are already immune. There is herd immunity.
So they did everything they could to not have reliable serological tests and this is a major scandal to me.”
- Conclusion (9/13/2021): B-cell Immunity, which is life-long, according to Dolores Cahill, an immunologist who is an expert in the field, who said that once you get infected and don't die, [ie] you recover the innate immune system produces antibodies for life. Your B-lymphocytes, which are in the bone marrow, make antibodies.
Due to the unfortunately corrupted medical system and lack of working serology tests, we cannot prove that we have such lifelong immunity, after recovery.
If you are like me, you are not just thinking about the strategy against the current unscientific, non-evidence-based Mask mandates in schools across the country, but also for what’s coming down the pike: Potential Vaccine mandates to attend schools, for all children.
According to the NYT, “At the urging of federal regulators, two coronavirus vaccine makers are expanding the size of their clinical trials for children ages 5 to 11. The F.D.A. has asked the companies to include 3,000 children in the 5-to-11-year-old group, the group for whom results were expected first, according to people familiar with the situation. One of the people, granted anonymity to speak freely, described that figure as double the original number of study participants. A spokesman for Moderna, Ray Jordan, confirmed that the company intends to expand its trial “to enroll a larger safety database which increases the likelihood of detecting rarer events” and expects to seek emergency authorization late this year or early next year. “
How can we curb, not just the current unregulated PPE nightmare in schools, but also the big Vaccine-school mandate storm, that’s rapidly heading our children’s way?
As it turns out, even some of the Free states such as Florida have faced problems in some districts, utilizing the corrupt court system to keep the political theater of irrational fears going. And let’s be real: The fears about children and Covid19 are just that.
In Sweden, a country that did not mask its children, nor did it ever shutter schools, pediatric Covid deaths are almost nonexistent:
Here’s what the start of school looked like in the Netherlands, just a few days ago:
Due to the unfortunate political situation in the US, we have to find clever arguments proving our point.
About Natural Immunity: A medical paper from Israel concluded that natural Immunity, being the gold standard according to decades of science & basic principles of Immunology, provided superior protection from Re-infection, especially with Delta.
Results SARS-CoV-2-naïve vaccinees had a 13.06-fold (95% CI, 8.08 to 21.11) increased risk for breakthrough infection with the Delta variant compared to those previously infected when the first event (infection or vaccination) occurred during January and February of 2021. The increased risk was significant (P<0.001) for symptomatic disease as well. When allowing the infection to occur at any time before vaccination (from March 2020 to February 2021), evidence of waning natural immunity was demonstrated, though SARS-CoV-2 naïve vaccinees had a 5.96-fold (95% CI, 4.85 to 7.33) increased risk for breakthrough infection and a 7.13-fold (95% CI, 5.51 to 9.21) increased risk for symptomatic disease. SARS-CoV-2-naïve vaccinees were also at a greater risk for COVID-19-related-hospitalizations compared to those that were previously infected.
Conclusions This study demonstrated that natural immunity confers longer-lasting and stronger protection against infection, symptomatic disease, and hospitalization caused by the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2, compared to the BNT162b2 two-dose vaccine-induced immunity. Individuals who were both previously infected with SARS-CoV-2 and given a single dose of the vaccine gained additional protection against the Delta variant.

Another factor to consider is the lessened Virulence of the Delta strain, which makes it more transmissible, but less fatal ( this is good news!)
In addition, the CDC showed the estimated Data from blood donations show Americans w/ COVID-19 antibodies increased from 20.5% to 83.3%
Of course, this data fails to include Americans who had pre-existing immunity before vaccination, but we will ignore that fact and just look at the bigger picture: OVER 80% of Americans have Antibodies to Covid19.
This begs the question: If this many adults are protected, and no longer a factor in the school equation, and the kids statistically speaking safer from Covid, then influenza, why are we still masking them in school? If you asked the CDC, they would probably reply with a standard sales pitch for vaccines being needed for kids to attend school mask-free.
Seeing as natural immunity is more protective and longer-lasting, we might need to focus on proving that millions of children have acquired immunity from a prior asymptomatic, (or symptomatic) case of Covid.
There are Antibody testing sites at some CVS locations, for example. They work with a quick finger prick to test one’s blood to determine Antibody levels. I am still trying to find out about the accuracy of these tests, and whether or not they can show T-cell-level immunity as well, but I think that facilitating mass-Antibody testing for families across the country can be an effective strategy to dodge the Vaccine + Mask argument. At the very least, it could be a start in the right direction, away from Vaccines that prove no benefit for a not-at-risk part of the population.
I think there could be a good case for politicians to aid in the financing, accessibility, and education of parents about testing school children for Antibodies, sooner rather than later. If large groups can show there is no need for vaccination in schools before such mandates are put in place, we could nip this in the bud- BEFORE it’s too late.
