Food for thought. How does the current antibody testing regime differ from the antibodies created by this vaccine?
It would seem there’s a chance that if you get the vaccine it would be difficult to distinguish that from a positive AB test later on, ergo by getting the vaccine, you are a positive case just waiting to get tested later.

According to the article and the testing data the antibodies are identical to patients that survived COVID 19
But that is what you want. You want the antibodies to be indistinguishable fro disease or vaccine. That is a good response.That’s why I posed the question. Once you get the vaccine, it’s impossible to tell if the ABs you have are from the vaccine or the disease if you later get tested.
That may become important for people who want to join the military or buy a life insurance policy for starters.
I have joined you in the “Yes” column. Vaccines are safe. There are no trackers in vaccines or test swabs. I have personally swabbed several hundred people in the last few months. They are just swabsI'm the only person that voted yes. I would get a vaccine for it if it were available. I'd get the smallpox vaccine if they still offered it. I get a Flu shot every year.
I knew a guy that had polio because his parents were heavy anti-vaxxers and he ended up getting it. He led a very miserable life.

You understand correctly.It's my understanding that the test for COVID-19,
tests for the presence of the antigen.
But the test for an acquired immunity,
tests for the presence of the antibodies.

Exactly the same here.I’ll probably wait out the first version...gotta see how that shakes out in the population at large.
I’d hate to end up being one of the people struck with the laundry list of side effects.
