Coronavirus antibody tests are unreliable

This kind of diagnostics does not allow us to draw convincing conclusions about the level of a person’s immune defense.
Experts have denied the appropriateness of the antibody test, as its performance is highly unreliable. This was announced by the Koronavirus_info Telegram channel.
“As shown by scientific studies, the concentration of antibodies to coronavirus in the blood of those who have been ill and vaccinated has a very indirect relationship to the level of protection against COVID-19. Experts still do not know the required level of antibodies for effective protection against the virus,” the Ministry of Health said in a statement from the project.
It is also indicated that according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it takes up to three weeks for the body to produce antibodies, so a negative test is not a guarantee that a person is healthy, and a positive test is not a guarantee that a person is sick.
