  Do you think my antibodies don't provide protection? I don't know, it seems your doctor doesn't know and I know people who lost their sense of smell and taste on their second go with Covid - now "everything tastes like dirt". Do you want to risk that to prove some kind of point? I do take risks myself - I meet with friends unmasked and do group activities that can only be done unmasked. But I don't take unnecessary risks, I get regular boosters and I go masked to the grocery store and similar things.

  Depends on what the antibodies were specific to.

  > Do you think my antibodies don't provide protection? Your adaptive immunity will probably provide a lot of protection from severe disease and hospitalization but it’s far less likely to prevent infection now. There’s been a lot of antigenic drift in the circulating variants since January 2021 and it’s ongoing. Due to this your circulating antibodies probably won’t provide sterilizing immunity anymore but of course that’s true for the vaccinated too. Worrying about vaccination status to stop the spread stopped being worthwhile months ago. If the Omicron boosters work well then it’ll reoccur, until then we can probably all chill out and it won’t change a thing.
