Thanks for the details. I was wrong about Zelenko. He said zinc sulfate last March. Could not find any in the stores.

"Monclonals [sic] and vaccines are not free; we pay for them with our taxes. But monoclonal antibodies cost $2000+ per infusion, while vaccination probably cost around $20-30. Personally, I don’t have a problem with paying for MAB out of my own pocket. If I want it, I really think I should have to pay for it. But I’m guessing there are a lot of “conservatives” who think someone else should foot the bill to pay for their non-FDA approved monoclonal antibody therapy because they don’t want to get vaccinated due to some wackadoodle internet nonsense they’ve bought into."

REGEN-COV-2 was FDA-approved on November 21, 2020. The granting EUA did not distinguish between vaxxination status:

Intended Populations
"Treatment of mild to moderate coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in adults and pediatric patients (12 years of age and older weighing at least 40 kg) with positive results of direct SARS-CoV-2 viral testing, and who are at risk for progressing to severe COVID-19 illness and/or hospitalization"

Did you pay for your Pfizer vaccination that worked so well when you were "very sick" with COVID for nearly a week?

One might be inclined to say that you not only bought into "wackadoodle internet nonsense", but you got stuffed with COVID for your money's worth.

It's not just that you're a bad troll, but you're a bad person.

REGON-COV has a emergency use authorization (EUA), the same as the vaccines had when many people were complaining that they weren't FDA approved:

FACT SHEET FOR HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS EMERGENCY USE AUTHORIZATION (EUA) OF REGEN-COV

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) to permit the emergency use of the unapproved product, REGEN-COV (casirivimab and imdevimab) co-formulated product and REGEN-COV (casirivimab and imdevimab) supplied as individual vials to be administered...

Note that this FDA document was last revised on 12/2021, so it appears to be current.

"REGON-COV has a emergency use authorization (EUA), the same as the vaccines had when many people were complaining that they weren't FDA approved"

Do you honestly believe, that people that have read this far into the thread, somehow missed your obnoxious troll where you referred to "monoclonal antibody therapy" as "non-FDA approved".

"REGON-COV has a emergency use authorization (EUA), the same as the vaccines had when many people were complaining that they weren't FDA approved"

You mean the same vaccines that provided you and your family NO protection against COVID?
