Sorry, that's not always true. With some diseases the antibodies remain for decades.Here’s the thing with antibodies:
You have them in measurable amounts for a period of time post-infection.
But you body doesn’t continually circulate antibodies, the metabolic price would be too high.
So we have memory cells that, once the bad stuff is identified, they tell your immune system to start antibody production.
As an adult, assuming you had it as a child, you don’t have chicken-pox antibodies floating around 24/7. They’re produced in response to stimuli, and slowly retreat when the stimuli is gone.

My daughter works for an OBYN private office, they don’t fall under that bullshit eitherPrivately owned pcp groups don't fall under CMS. I work for one -a large one- and we are exempt.

Years ago. And it never stopped...Did anybody else lose any hair?
I lost a bunch, starting a few weeks after I got well.
Kept falling out for about a month, then just as quick it stopped.
According to my doc, the covid antibodies test is only valid for more recent infections. No good six months later.Sorry, that's not always true. With some diseases the antibodies remain for decades.
How Long Do I Retain Immunity? (Published 2018)
Antibody half-life varies tremendously, from about 11 years for tetanus to over 200 years for measles and mumps.www.nytimes.com
I wonder if some of us unvaccinated who have never had symptoms maybe caught in the first round, were asymptomatic (so never tested), and have stronger immunity than provided by the inoculations thus not getting the variants (or maybe asymptomatic if we did).No jab, every co worker, parents, probably me based on the #'s had it, but I never got sick.
If it hasn't got me by now, then I'll take my chances. F that shot and my job if need be. We had to declare this week because of the OSHA sh!t, but everything went on hold for now.

I got sick in November of 2019 (Pre pandemic). I went to the doctor, but never really asked what it was, I figured influenza. The doctor gave me a shot and a prescription (antibiotics), but it still took about 2 weeks to start feeling better.Probably.
I've joked for years about eating something off the ground or eating with dirty hands will just turn my immune system into a body builder from all the small work outs that if the plague comes, I'll be fine. Guess that joke is playing out.
3 years ago I did get a mystery sickness that felt like it damn near killed me. I lost 30lbs and was pissing blood when my wife finally drug me to the ER. Did culture samples and all came back negative. Maybe I was patient zero. Still have no idea what it was.
I'm unvaccinated and haven't had the beer flu. In 2020 in had a bronchial infection and last year I had walking pneumonia. I've been very lucky too because a majority of family and friends have had it.I'm pretty sure unvaccinated people on this Forum have had covid twice.
You're pretty lucky.I'm unvaccinated and haven't had the beer flu. In 2020 in had a bronchial infection and last year I had walking pneumonia. I've been very lucky too because a majority of family and friends have had it.
I really did consider getting the jab at first but decided not to after they started with the variants and booster bullshit.You're pretty lucky.
My post was a response to one comment in the post above it.
In no means am I pro-vax.

Which viruses of any consequence have antibodies that fade? Covid of course and I know some might say the Influenza A virus but I believe the antibodies (Flu A) remain but the virus mutates to a point that the antibodies no longer are effective.It’s generally true.
There are exceptions as you note
