Reply to comment by discgman in Immuno-suppressants may negatively affect SARS-CoV-2 antibody responses. In a study on autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic disease (AIRD) patients, neutralizing antibody levels were significantly lower for AIRD patient than in controls. Arthritis treatments were risk factors for reduced responses by glawgii

The question (not sure if this study answers) is if you go off immune suppressant, get the vaccine and then go back on a month or so later does it reduce your chance of fighting off Covid. I would assume the answer would be yes? My doc wants me to go back on my medication (stopped it in 2020 for Covid) and said they haven’t seen any more increased Covid severity with their patients on immune suppressant medications. Not sure if this is just them being optimistic. This study seems to contradict what they told me.
