I'm more curious to know if he ever got COVID or if it actually got him so many antibodies that he never actually got sick
~~The researchers did a bunch of tests and determined that he never had COVID, though they cannot attribute that to 217 boosters specifically. They noted that it could’ve been isolation, hand washing, etc.~~
Better to quote directly from the article:
To be fair, you have to sit at home since 2019 in order to be cautious enough not to catch it without protection :D
Myself, my partner, mum, dad and my grandma have never caught it. We follow the government advice so haven’t been wearing masks for over a year now.
You're probably vaccinated then, aren't you?
I'm talking about being non-vaccinated :D
Oh sorry, I thought by protection you meant masks and social distancing. It’s been a long week! Yes we’re all vaccinated. I’m immunosuppressed so they weren’t sure if my body would respond but apparently so!
Good to know it worked! Saved me too, lived with two covid patients :D
I am unsure if I ever got the virus. Every single time I thought I had it my test came back negative, but my wife and kids got it twice. So it just doesn't seem likely that I never did.
Good thing there's an article
I guess that is the second article from wired I've read this month and the first one was free. I only got the first paragraph before a paywall.
Understandable, no he never got COVID
Interesting, thanks for letting me know.
No problem. Sorry I was being short before.
No worries, I usually search on archive for the article if it has a paywall but I asked in the comments instead.
Same for me but I used https://12ft.io/
Same for me. You can bypass it if you read in a "private browsing" window.
