Tests can show if you've had COVID-19 and could now be immune to it. They might also be wrong.

are twofold.

HuffPost spoke to Chambers about what people should know about coronavirus antibody tests and what they should consider if they want to get one.It’s a test on [blood] serum for reactivity of one of these antibody proteins that your human immune response makes in response to, say, a prior infection. So, you know, there’s any number of antibody tests to see if you’ve developed an immune response to some infectious agent.

If you’re in a very low-prevalence setting, the test is probably going to be negative because if only one in 1,000 people is infected ― 99.9% are going to be negative. So it doesn’t really provide a lot of assurance unless there is a significant amount of prevalence in the community, in a place like New York, for example. But in the low-prevalence setting, a positive test is more likely to be a false positive.

What value do these test results have to researchers working on disease surveillance and drug and vaccine development?

Or.. you have no idea what you are talking about and still got paid to write a poorly researched article.

Yes sir, indeed! Especially since these COVID-19 (Certificate Of Vaccinations I.D.) tests are so advanced that they can even determine if certain fruits have the virus! Now, that's what I call legitimate!

Panic porn.

Dude we don’t need tests. The DeepState want tests & TrackingCOVID Dude we dont need the cabal georgesoros illuminati Adrenochrome BillGatesIsEvil SpeakerPelosi BarackObama CCP Collusion 2020election Treason RepAdamSchiff news dcexaminer

So what's the point? I would hope they could do better than 50/50. I don't want to see a commercial in the future say 'Did you get an antibody test between 2020 and 2024? Did you develop a burning sensation in your big toe? Call the law offices of Flimm and Flamm'

What a fun headline. A real roller coaster.

First you scream more test more testing! Then you doubt the tests?

wow. really?🤣
