don't @me about 2/10 pf plz.. I have a serious science question.
My friend is a little bit of a hypochondriac and has been tested for covid a bunch of times. Has put herself in a shit ton of situations where she could get it - like bars that stayed open undercover, plus her roommates all had it. Never once tested positive. Got the moderna vax a few months ago (april, I think) and tested negative a few weeks after that. She's supposed to be going in for some elective surgery next week so they had her take another covid test yesterday and it came back positive. She's completely symptomless, but the surgery is at risk of being cancelled (her doctor is going to have her test again tomorrow, just in case it's a false positive). But the info they provided with the results is completely retarded:
So let me get this straight: if you had the virus, you have antibodies. If you get the vaccine, you have antibodies. If you get the virus after getting the vaccine, you also have antibodies. Antibodies present denotes that currently you have the virus? Which you can also have from a previous infection/vaccine? Why the fuck would you even test someone who had the vaccine? Won't it always be a positive test?
