UK trials new antibody therapy that can stop people who have been exposed to COVID becoming ill and it could save MILLIONS of lives across the globe

Drug would offer immediate and long-term protection to patients when it would be too late to offer a vaccine

It could be given as an emergency treatment to hospital inpatients, care home residents and university students to help reduce the spread of the virus

Scientists from the University College London Hospitals NHS (UCLH) have injected ten people with the drug In the U.S. there have been more than 18.7 million Americans infected with coronavirus and 330,246 deaths

People who live with someone has caught COVID or been exposed to them could be injected with the drug to stop them becoming infected, even if they have not had a coronavirus vaccine.

In the first trial, the antibody, known as AZD7442, has been developed by pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca, which has also created a vaccine with Oxford University that is awaiting approval for use by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).

Cut it in 1/2. Pill cutters are cheap. I’ve used B-6 and 50mg Zinc for a wrist problem I have, that is similar to Carpal Tunnel Syndrone, for many years. Don’t use it all the time, but only when my wrist acts up. It works for me.

All of the idiots on this forum who keep spouting off about the latest cure or vaccine as a means to “opening” things up are playing right into the leftists hand’s. Just like the idiot Freepers who were proclaiming the end of the world or the need to be protected.

It doesn’t matter if there is ever a cure or vaccine because we are supposed to have our liberty guaranteed by the US Constitution. It is not guaranteed by the giverment-medical complex.

Where are all the Covid fear porn charts with the case fatality rates? Where all the Freepers that said a few weeks lockdown was ok? Or the ones sitting at home drawing their monthly government check explaining how the rest of us should be locked down in order to protect them?

The FORMERLY FREE REPUBLIC.

I just got my prescription for Ivermectin filled today. They are constrained on supply, so I only got 12 x 3 mg tabs of Stromectol.

1984, wars and rumors of wars, diseases and rumors of diseases and cures.

This sht is unreal. Orwell so well predicted the British totalitarianism.

Depending on your weight, that’s like two doses. Are they recommending them 3 days apart?

yes, it has a shelf life of i think 3 days or so- so you would be getting too much if you dosed right the next day- at least this is what I’ve read concerning ivermectin-your body needs time to get rid of a certain amount before you can dose again, to prevent overdose

This site here discusses the dosages, and also how to easily figure out how much you should take (for your pet horse of course), and why you need to wait:

[[similarly safe.]]

Except for folks who have kidney or liver problems/diseases- they advise against taking it or taking it under close supervision of doctors to check for any possible signs of further damage

but for most, it is deemed quite safe from what I’ve rad on it

Yep. For post-exposure prophylaxis, 0.2 mg/kg immediately then repeat day 3.

For pre-exposure prophylaxis (for health care workers) and for prophylaxis in high-risk individuals (> 60 years with co-morbidities, morbid obesity, long term care facilities, etc). 0.15–0.2 mg/kg Day 1, Day 3 and then weekly for 10 weeks, followed by biweekly dosing.

I got enough for Day 1 and Day 3, but not the weekly or biweekly maintenance.

I think you mean ‘half-life’ and that’s 18 hours, but you are right, for it to get mostly processed, 3 days is about the minimum (about 6% left at that point). Obviously another day or 2 doesn’t hurt.

For what it’s worth, my understanding for prophylaxis in India (where the virus virtually non-existent now) is something like 0.2 mg/kg on Day 1, Day 7, Day 30 and then every 30 days...so not as often as you have. But then no big bucks with Ivermectin, so no detailed studies on dosage, so we’re left to pretty much guessing as to how to take it.

“the long con” is that the pharmaceutical companies keep dreaming up “solutions” that could possibly be “required” by “your” government to be administered to BILLIONS of people worldwide..for which they can be “paid” trillions
