How about 'I have antibodies and therefore don't need a vaccine' ?

I appreciate your suggestion.
However, until there is conclusive evidence that having antibodies does make you immune, I will leave that option out.

And if you do have the antibodies, until definite conclusion, please don't think you are immune and ignore safety practices.

Huh? The vaccine just mimics the virus in terms of producing antibodies. If having antibodies from the vaccine does not provide immunity, neither will a vaccine

There’s more than one approach to vaccination. There are at least three different approaches in the COVID-19 vaccines being developed/tested.

Also, some vaccines only last x years.

Correct, but don't they all work on the premise of producing antibodies in order to confer immunity?

That is why I tread carefully my responses.

Leave the conclusions to the experts and don't draw conclusions yourself.

I remember years ago my entire class had to have a Mantoux test, whoever tested positive for the Mantoux test didn't need to get a TB vaccine.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Short answer is that this is not always the case. Someone posted an article explaining this once.

There's no conclusive evidence to any of the choices above! If I don't plan on getting the vaccine because I get or got antibodies why shouldn't you give that as an option?

On that logic (which can be the case) why are we bothering with a vaccine just give everyone plasma?

Besides it being a very difficult procedure, the body needs to know how to reproduce the antibodies - they don't just stay there.

Maybe the option should be "decide then based on info available if I should get vaccinated even though I have antibodies"
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

Good suggestion, but that is just creating more blurred lines. The big picture should be about immunity not administering a vaccine.
If you look at confirmed effectiveness (assuming when that happens) standpoint.
Having antibodies that are proven to give immunity is same as being vaccinated and that should be the appropriate answer.
Having antibodies that are not (yet) proven to give immunity is same as not planning to get vaccinated and that should be the appropriate answer.

I disagree with this. Even with it unproven they are still very much presumed to provide immunity.

I'm not trying to disagree with anyone. At least I want it only proven facts not assumptions or presumptions. Many people will still disagree even with proven facts.

If you care about immunity and antibodies you have are proven not to give immunity but vaccines does, you will still get vaccinated right?
If you don't care about immunity with or with out any antibodies you will not get vaccinated right?

My statement still stands.

How can anyone answer this question without knowing the (real) risks that will be associated with the vaccine?
