When it comes to antibody tests for people who believe they may have had the coronavirus, “from my perspective I would say they're not ready for prime time," Dr. Richard Besser, former acting director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said Monday during a virtual chat with Stat. “As we learn whether that means you are protected in the future, there could be value in that,” Besser told Stat reporter Helen Branswell about the tests.
Besser said he’s worried some countries are already considering the idea of immunity passports based on antibody tests when “the science isn't there yet to be able to say what those tests mean.” "I worry that people will get a false sense of security and they can change their behavior based on the results of that test, or have a false sense of concern if it's a test that isn't detecting protections that they may actually have.”
