High number of South Africans have developed COVID-19 antibodies

New research by the South African National Blood Service (SANBS) and other researchers have revealed a high number of South Africans have SARS-CoV-2 antibodies.

This research was conducted because of the lack of information about the true number of COVID-19 infections and people with antibodies in South Africa.

Makes sense that the virus then had to mutate to get past our higher resistance.

You mean will have to adapt. For the next wave.

Does this mean, to do a blood test first to determined if you need the vaccine or not? Will I still be forced to take vaccine although I have covid antibodies to get a clear certificate?

You beat the virus, you can beat the vaccine.

Yes, no travel or employment for you until you get the jab. As it should be.

What is that thing they talk about in the end about race, I can't make out that graphs. Does some races from poorer households have more anti-bodies or is it the other way around?

Yes there is marked difference in antibodies between different races and they attribute it to socioeconomic factors mostly.

So? There never was any real social lockdown and people don't wear masks anyway.
Only the economy had lockdown. Not the people. Only the dof "command council" thought there was an actual lockdown.

better nutrition = better building blocks for the body to do what is meant to do...

Natural antibodies do not equal vaccine-promoted antibodies. While risk is still lower of re-infection after natural antibody creation, the vaccine has more efficacy.

Lack of beach sand.

 

[adrianx]

The differences are most likely explained by historically based differences in socioeconomic status and housing conditions.

...or maybe your stats are biased flawed.
