For those who got a Covid vaccine, should they get lab work done to see if vaccines really are helping make antibodies against Covid?

    The issue is that you will always be chasing the antibodies.

    Whenever you test, it's a snapshot in time and might be completely different two weeks later.

    Are you familiar with the premise that sufficient levels of Vitamin D reduces your chance of infection and your chance of complications if you are?

    - Vietnam has adopted supplementing the population as a covid strategy and has the lowest infection rate and death rate of any country in the world with a population of more than 25K

    - A German hospital study showed that people who are deficient in Vitamin D are twice as likely to die as people who are elderly.

    Vitamin D is not as easy to get as just drinking some milk or taking a walk in the sun.  Many people have trouble absorbing vitamin D, especially people with darker skin tones.  Taking vitamin D3 with olive or coconut oil aids absorption.

    If you want to test for something, get your vitamin D levels checked.

    Back to chasing the antibodies:

    There is an article in the New England Journal of Medicine that says that the antibodies for Pfizer and Moderna are dropping by day 59 after the 2nd vaccine and continue to drop. 

    - some people they drop slowly, some faster.

    The J&J vaccine has less antibodies up front but they are continuing to develop at day 78.  It also creates the memory cell changes which the mRNA vaccines don't.  Thus, it could provide a better long term protection than the mRNA vaccines.

    The J&J vaccine has had 6 people out of the millions that likely developed a severe blood clotting issue from the vaccine.

    However, it's not like the other vaccines don't have serious side effects either.  The death of Dr. Gregory Michael's we are supposed to drink the kool-aid and say it was a coincidence.  He died of a condition that is beyond extremely rare in adults (not unheard of but less than one case a year) that is linked to vaccinations in children.  He developed symptoms 3 days after the vaccine and died 16 days after the vaccine.

    My kool-aid is not strong enough for me to believe it's just a coincidence.

    After you get the shot, IT TAKES 30 DAYS before your body produces enough antibodies throughout the whole body to give you some protection.   Right now that protection is keeping you out of the hospital critical care ward as they are overflowing AGAIN.   You basically got 2 DROPS of vaccine in your body...so now it is up to your body to make the antibodies that replicate the vaccine by the GALLON to flow throughout your blood stream(just for you).   That is how all vaccines work. (Flu, Polio, Pox, Mumps etc.)
