Ugh. Antibodies are just one part of the bodies immune defense


Vaccines don't cause antibodies to constantly roam your body in perpetuity. Typically it will elicit immediate antibody production, but the lasting immunity is due to the production of memory T cells. They "remember" how to fight the virus and produce antibodies when the virus is encountered.

  There is no evidence that the virus has weakened. -- TJ Hokie 07/07/2020 09:56AM
