Comments by "David Getling" (@DavidGetling) on "COVID QT #2: Antibody tests, COVID risk and flu defence sprays" video.
Let's go through some of what Tom has said today in response to the first three questions. With regard to antibodies it is very well know among those with some knowledge of biology that antibody count declines with time, and may disappear completely. What this emphatically does not mean is that you are no longer immune. There are things like memory T-cells that may well hang around for the rest of your life. If you are exposed to the virus (or sometimes just a similar one) again then your immune system will very quickly churn out fresh antibodies. As part of the government's scaremongering any mention of this has been assiduously avoided. Related to the second question is the now well established fact that systemic side effects, from vaccination, are much more common and severe in people who have previously had covid-19, as opposed to those who have never been infected. This is an immune response to the antigens produced by the vaccine that you didn't need, because you were already immune. Tom gives a good honest answer to the third question, about vaccinated (or naturally immune) people spreading the virus. I spit curses every time that I see Boris wearing a mask or bumping elbows. This is pure propaganda. As soon as he came out of hospital he was immune and so he could have gone round French kissing people with almost negligible risk of them catching covid-19.

@grahamstull2330 Yes I suppose it was a bit thoughtless. Somebody might have been eating then dinner when I evoked that image.

@whatsupchannel3047 If you Google "covid T-cell immunity" you should be able to find a few places that now test for long term immunity. If you have this immunity then you definitely don't need the vaccine: no ifs, no buts, no maybes.
