Does anyone here have the expertise to know whether it's possible for a vaccine to cause negative test results, even when someone is sick with Covid?
I got a vaccine 6 months ago (didn't want to, but was tired of my mom getting on me about it). This past weekend my girlfriend tested positive (as did her mom - her entire family had been sick the last week or 2 - all vaccinated). My last contact with her was a couple of days before that, and I started getting symptoms the day after she was positive. I've been fighting a cold since then. I figured it was likely covid due to the timing. However, 2 rapid tests from an at-home kit, and now a PCR test have all come back negative. Could be a coincidence that the one time I get sick in the last 2+ years is right after a covid exposure. So, I was curious if it was possible that the vaccines could cause negative tests somehow. It would certainly make them look better statistically.
