[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] The Flawed Science of Antibody Testing for SARS-CoV-2 Immunity | Infectious Diseases | JAMA | JAMA Network

[Michael Alexander]

Thank you, John.
The article is interesting and sobering.  Covid-19 is more complicated than portrayed in the most ‘responsible’ journalistic (e.g., NY Times, Washington Post) reporting.

I received this from a doctor friend in NY and thought it worth passing along

=====================  

  

Family & Friends-

Below find the link to a piece I just saw in JAMA which provides a fine overview of the uncertainty about antibody testing & protection against Covid. It all remains quite puzzling. I think the takeaway is continuing prudence, especially for our age group, remains in order for some time to come.



Important info to be aware of about uncertainty about meaning of antibody testing
