Had my yearly physical in mid December. Asked my Doctor about getting the booster jab (I had the J&J in June). She said there is no benefit for me getting the booster at all, as I have no comorbidities. She was in the original Moderna vaccine tests, and is part of the University of Texas antibody studies. She gets blood drawn and tested every week as part of the study. She is perplexed as she only shows the vaccine spike protein antibody, but none of the other ones (as does the other doctor in the practice). She lamented that she was hoping to show antibodies for all of the proteins, but hasn't.
I have tested negative 42 weeks in a row for work (and after a Jan 15th trip to Allentown where I went to a huge maskless wedding with many teachers present). Never tested for antibodies, but 99% certain that I had the original China Virus, as I was in China from Jan 4-16, 2020. While in Shanghai, I was pretty sick for 2 nights (massive night sweats), and a sore throat the entire trip. That was a few days after a trip to a die casting shop which is 60 miles east of Wuhan!!!.
Now, work is asking us to do a quick Covid test Sunday night (they just gave us 4 test kits each). If negative, we do the PCR test Monday at work. We have about 20 people in a 150k square foot building as everyone wants to work from home (but they get nothing done there). We must be fully masked while in the building as well. Now, work is asking us to get the booster because of the new CDC definition. This is totally crazy
