Antibody Treatments For COVID Work. Why Aren’t They Being Promoted?

It’s perhaps the most effective way to save your life if you are infected with COVID-19, but probably the least known. It reduces the risk of even being hospitalized by 70% to 85%, though it must be administered early to be effective – within four days of infection. Lives probably are being lost unnecessarily because people don’t know about it.

It’s monoclonal antibody treatment, abbreviated as mAb. To the extent the public has any familiarity with it they, may know it as Regeneron, though that’s actually the name of the company that makes the leading treatment, REGEN-COV2, and there are several other mAbs from other makers.

Health authorities for months back should have been issuing this message constantly: “Immediately after being exposed or you have COVID symptoms, get tested and ask if an antibody treatment is right for you.”

  1. Probably the hospitals, doctors, and etc don’t get the big money from that. They all get a better payout from the govt. for the longer stays in hospitals etc.

  2. Bob Aswell.....Realist

    Simple, If these treatments work and they cause an immunity, two things will happen. One, It will cut the money pipe these lab groups use to funnel a plenty to the politicians so they can take the focus OFF of any legislation that would reduce consumer cost to Medicare, and Two, then with nothing to hide them, they and Bidumb to save face will boggle other issues like Milley and the nips, and Afghanistan incompetence.
    Think of it, if there was QUALITY AND CHEAP medicine, how much less would Medicare have to pay? It’ll NEVER happen cause it makes too much sense.
