> In Australia I can't even get a bloody antibody test to show I've had covid, because doctors are afraid it will be used to "justify" not getting vaccinated

Honest question: What would you use it for? I'm trying to come up with a reason I would want to know whether I ever had covid (I don't think I did but who knows), but I can't think of anything I would do with that information, or any way it would change anything about my current behavior.




None of your fucking business? I'm not asking for a prescription to heroin, and I'm happy to pay the cost of the test. And if 10% of the population end up with assorted "long covid" symptoms there are likely to be interventions to address them, and I'd like to be able to access those.
