In one of my other articles, I present a study that found hundreds of positive antibody tests among Italians who gave blood in September, October, November and December 2019. A similar study found the same results - hundreds of "positives" - in France.
In France, officials actually interviewed 13 people who apparently had Covid before January 2020. Most of them did report Covid-like symptoms before getting their antibody tests.
I don't know why the CDC couldn't have done the same thing with the 106 people who tested positive for antibodies in the "Red Cross Antibody Study."
The answer is: They COULD have done this.
... Links to the French and Italian antibody studies can be found in this article:
You know, didn't John Ioniddes do a study in CA that showed more than 40 percent of the population had these antibodies...and he was roundly silenced and castigated for it.
COVID-19 antibody seroprevalence in Santa Clara County, California
"...On 3 and 4 April 2020, we tested 3328 county residents for immunoglobulin G (IgG) and immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 using a rapid lateral-flow assay (Premier Biotech).. The estimated prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in Santa Clara County implies that COVID-19 was likely more widespread than indicated by the number of cases in late March, 2020...."
Unique SARS-CoV-2 variant found in public sequence data of Antarctic soil samples collected in 2018-2019
Here we report the bioinformatic analysis of a metagenome sample set collected from soil on King George Island, Antarctica between 2018-12-24 and 2019-01-13. It contains sequence fragments matching the SARS-CoV-2 reference genome with altogether more than half million nucleotides covering the complete genome on average 17×....Details of the wet-lab procedure, sequencing
library preparation and the date and location of the sequencing are not recorded at the sequence archives. These would be crucial pieces of information to decide whether the detected SARS-CoV-2 content has real biological origin or it is the result of lab contamination or sequencing artifact....."
"...A majority of uninfected adults show preexisting antibody reactivity against SARS-CoV-2
Using an orthogonal antibody testing approach, we estimated that about 0.6% of nontriaged adults from the greater Vancouver, Canada, area between May 17 and June 19, 2020, showed clear evidence of a prior SARS-CoV-2 infection, after adjusting for false-positive and false-negative test results. Using a highly sensitive multiplex assay and positive/negative thresholds established in infants in whom maternal antibodies have waned, we determined that more than 90% of uninfected adults showed antibody reactivity against the spike protein...."

Correct.He was in the first paper below.

People here are do damn smart. Thank you that was it exactly!
