Effectiveness wears off but also antibodies wear off. why arent they allowing us to text the antibodies on our members and using that as a level to get tested. >> brian: they told you are vaccinated. for the unvaccinated there is a testing option. you are okay with that. >> we would love to keep a testing option. >> brian: you would love to see an antibody test. >> absolutely. the department has been giving antibody test since last year. they already have antibody information on a lot of our mem...
