I too am curious about the antibody testing. My doc said there isn’t a good test, or more specifically they don’t know enough about the test results to evaluate the results as related to covid. She is with UCSF medical center. The cdc doesn’t have info as far as I know either. Can you share the antibody tests you received? Glad you found you mounted a defense.

The test was: SARS-COV-2 ANTIBODY, IGG. As I understand it the test merely confirms whether COVID antibodies are present (positive), or not (negative). It doesn’t quantify how many antibodies are present nor the strength of any antibodies detected. Hope this is helpful.
