Dear Martin,
Excuse me for disturbing you again.
I'm flying to Europe tonight and did an ELISA test this week. I am sending you the result. No ImG was found, which means I don't think I have or have had Covid-19 and therefore no IgG antibodies will have been found. Then something is mentioned about Neutralizing. I've asked the lab to explain this. I just received this late last night. I have also asked the comments to be translated into English.
I honestly hoped that I had unnoticed covid and would have produced antibodies. However, healthy is healthy and that's fine too.
In Europe I have domicile in Budapest. I will ask a doctor for advice on vaccination. I also travel a lot and the pressure on vaccination (in Hungary people are already talking about the 3rd injection) is great.
I recently purchased Ivermectin tablets. I understood that these have been effective in many cases. Are those the medicines you meant, but which are not allowed in the Netherlands?
Thank you for your comments.
Yours faithfully,
L.

Purchase,
Indeed, I must disappoint you. Didn't have Covid.
As it stands, after the latest reports from Israel, the vaccine hardly seems to work.
Neutralizing antibodies are antibodies that, for example, prevent the virus from entering the cell. If you do get vaccinated, try to get Sinopharm or Sinovac. They work just as well, or badly and are made in the classic way.
Ivermectin is indeed the drug that works for Covid.
Don't be afraid of the delta and lambda variant, they behave like the well-known coronavirus and can cause a runny nose for a few days.
Yours faithfully,
Dr. Maarten
