The calculation is not easy, as a large percentage of Covid-19 infections are asymptomatic. Therefore, it is difficult to accurately estimate the true proportion of infections in the global population.
Antibody levels against Covid-19 worldwide are probably higher than previously estimated, as up to two-thirds of the world’s population may now have such antibodies against the coronavirus, either after being vaccinated or after being infected with virus.
The researchers of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the serosurveillance platform SeroTracker, who made the relevant publication in the medical journal “PLoS Medicine”, estimate that the presence of antibodies against the coronavirus increased from 7.7% in June 2020 to 59 .2% in September 2021 and today it has increased further, possibly to two-thirds of humanity.
The calculation is not easy, as a large percentage of Covid-19 infections are asymptomatic. Therefore, it is difficult to accurately estimate the true proportion of infections in the global population.
However, the general estimate of the researchers is that more people worldwide have antibodies in their bodies due to vaccines or disease than previously thought.
