While allowing THE PATIENT’S IMMUNE SYSTEM to “cure” the COVID-19 by production and releasing of antibodies.


I am not so sure that is correct.

The correct antibodies have to be discovered by the body to fight the infection. When we vaccinate, we are teaching the body about a specific threat.

This virus is “novel” because hardly anyone has antibodies already in their system for it. If they’re on their way to dying, their body is not figuring it out and does not have the correct antibodies.

These drugs attack the virus directly and don’t confer any immunity in such a case.

The plasma from a recovered patient, on the other hand, may transfer immunity directly from one person to another.

Unfortunately, it seems that the only doctors on the web are cranks.

You DO understand that when YOUR immune system encounters a new virus type for the first time that it begins the process of producing new antibodies that are then used by the immune system in its fight against that new type of virus?

“These drugs attack the virus directly”

actually, these drugs (and most antivirals and most antibiotics for that matter), don’t actually kill the bugs, but prevent them from replicating and/or in the case of viruses, from penetrating the cells, and thereby preventing viral replication ... once antivirals/antibiotics stop the bugs from replicating, the immune system is USUALLY no longer overwhelmed with wildly replicating bugs and can kill the ones that can no longer replicate ...
