Yeah, I wish they were better at picking and choosing when they were being lied to.
Yes. That should have been the takeaway from my post. :smiley_confused1:

Oldest son (18 yo) got his 1st shot yesterday. No problems. The 14 year old doesn’t want the vaccine. I’m fairly certain he had covid because I think he gave it to me. I’m not gonna force him at this point but I’ve strongly encouraged him to take it.

No offense intended, but 14 year olds don't get to make that kind of decision by themselves.  What is his pediatrician's recommendation?

My wife and I got Covid back in late January, 2020.  At that time, WHO and CDC said all the cases were in China and 2 in the US so we went on a cruise to the Bahamas.  A lot of sick people on the ship and especially on the plane back home.  We thought it was bad flu.
A couple of days after we got back we both started coughing and had fevers over 103.  After a week, I was finally strong enough to get us to an emergency room.  Of course they told us there was no Covid in Kansas or in the Bahamas but they did give us the Zpack they were using to treat Covid.  Our oxygen levels were 90 and 91 percent so they wanted to check us in and put us on ventilators.  We said no thanks.  It took me 5 weeks to get back on my feet, took my wife 2 months.  We still haven't regained full short term memory.  
My wife has a Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia and has a compromised immune system from radiation and chemo.  We were both vaccinated with 2 shots of Pfizer.  My wife is in a study for CLL Covid antibodies and she has almost no antibodies right now.  We are trying to get booster shots as they have shown positive results for CLL patients.  
Right now in my area, hospitals are full and we are in the high infection range we were in back at the last peak.  Less than half of the people here are vaccinated and masks are rare.

Wow Thumper, you and your wife have made it through quite a lot.  Hang in there, and I hope you can get your wife the booster.

I have a great employee/person who works on my team. She has been hospitalized with Covid for over 2 weeks, and on a ventilator.  

We got good news a few days ago, she had a tracheotomy and was stabilizing and off the ventilator. 

This morning, we are being told she is not going to make it.  67 years old, no other major health issues, but was not vaccinated. 

Like so many others who have dealt with this, our hearts are broken.

Sobering story, this is hitting a lot of us close to home.

Hang in there, Thumper!

All you folks who disagreed with my rant about anti-maskers/anti-vaxxers--you're wrong.

So there!

Best of luck to you and your wife, Thumper.

On this point, my understanding of all the reading that I've been doing is that immunity is not just a matter of current antibody levels--it's the B cells (or maybe T cells) that have the ability to recognize the spike protein and ramp up antibody production extremely quickly if the virus is encountered, and those cells apparently persist LONG after the antibodies wane.

That's one of the unknowns with the vaccine--do waning antibodies mean that you need additional boosters? Or not? 

I suspect we'll start to understand that soon, as researches start to get data on breakthrough infections (especially if they require hospitalization or end in death) and correlate it to how long it had been since the infected person had their vaccine. 

A lot still to figure out...
