There is no one vaccinated person. Getting a load high enough to trigger a positive test is less likely but still possible post-vaccination. The interaction with symptoms is weird because symptoms are caused by both viral load and immune response.
This lends credence to my theory about last week’s exposure. Six negative rapid antigen tests and two negative PCR tests over the course of the seven days following the possible exposure, but I felt like hell about three days after.
Is the vaccinated person’s lower viral load enough to trigger a positive test, especially for those with symptoms?
If it is, shouldn’t we be thinking of “reinfections” as those cases of serious disease, rather than simply positive tests?
