what kind of Antigen blood testing can I get in Ontario and how would I go about it? All I hear is that this seems to be highly restricted in Canada, though common practice in US.

You have to go to your GP and get him to complete a requisition for it, then take it to a lab. It's a blood test, so for example Life Labs does it for a fee. It's not covered by OHIP. Just tell your GP that you are concerned about long covid if you have had it and would like to check for antibodies. Some physicians are resistant. If so, you can book an online appointment through Lifelabs with a physician who will write you the requisition. Note that the false negatives for antibodies are very common with this test though, so not definitive.

This exactly is what Geert has hypothesized been since early March of 21.

This sentence is confusing to me: "SARS-CoV-2 antibody specificity, breadth and maturation are affected by imprinting from exposure history, and distinct histological and antigenic contexts in infection compared to vaccination.”

Is that not saying that you are more likely to imprint (OASP from infection as compared to vaccination?

No clue what any of this means, but could my blood and plasma be more valuable now because I am NI and un-jabbed?

Thanks. I need to read more closely to better understand as its not all clear to me.

What I don't understand is if the vaccine leads to spike in the blood as much as 15 months after the fact then why does the efficacy wane? How is it both permanent in harm caused and yet fades that boosters are needed?

Also, in this study were the able to measure spike in the blood independent of antibodies? In the past studies that indicated spike did so by way of spike binded to antibodies. Is there different methodologies in play?

Mowrey thinks OAS is junk, but I don't think he would argue with the significance of finding the spike protein lingering in the body long after its arrival. https://unglossed.substack.com/p/even-steven?
