Serology studies are you kidding me right now? We can and have measured the clinical outcomes.
edit: It's pretty rich to hear that you've taken my bait, "self-correcting problem" was masterful baiting.
- fn-mote 5y agoThis would be a lot more constructive if you included a link. Or at least explained more. Not everyone reading will have the same background you do, especially when the issue is something technical like discounting a serology study because you know of more convincing ones.

There's a lot of talk of antibodies because researchers studying vaccine effectiveness prior to everyone being exposed need something to measure. It's hard to measure the overall effectiveness of a person's immune response, so they measure antibodies, which are not the whole story. It might not even be the important part. I think this is why GP is derisive of serology. The immune system is quite complicated. Personally I suspect that advising people who had breakthrough infections to keep getting boosters will turn out to be bad advice. We'll see I guess.
