Interesting reports coming out that many have natural immunity based on t cell protection not antibody. If that is true we don't test for t cell immune response and it would massively underestimate those who have immunity already

Surely the absence of antibodies means diddly squat or, if anything, is a good sign, as they are produced only in response to an infection aren't they?

The latent protection (if present) is in the relevant T cells that recognise the virus and start making the antibodies when they detect it.
