right - things that didn’t work for wild virus, didn’t work for Delta, is going to magically work for Omi. Stop kidding yourself - how many ‘influencers’ lately who swore by kitchen remedies ran for monoclonals and didn’t care if it turned them polkadotted when death knocked on their door? Monoclonals give you the same odds as a vaccine against Delta but only temporary protection. If Omi takes it down to one monoclonal that’s effective, that’s not good news - for anyone.
If ‘cheap’ drugs are your criteria, the monoclonals and vaccines are free. But all drugs are made by pharm companies. The one you’re thinking of is probably made by Merck or Valaent Intl and rebranded. And they’ve made bank on the sales.
Merck developed Ivermectin in 1981 for River Blindness.
Sure, bluepill.
You should ask yourself what sociopathic vaccine billionaires would do to solve the problem of "climate change", Jan.
"Climate change" is a problem only because ratpeasants want energy and food.
Sure be nice if the ratpeasants had an OFF switch, hey?

Monclonals 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.
Yeah, problem is, I don’t believe the US has the capability to differentiate who has Delta and who has Omicron (etc.) if millions of cases need to be checked quickly.
So, the advantage of monoclonals (effective if given early) is now problematic because supplies are short and the flood of Omicron sufferers likely don’t really need monoclonals — but we don’t know who is who.
You are perhaps unaware of Uttar Pradesh: a province of 241 million people that solved the pandemic by giving their citizens Ivermectin.
“the monoclonals and vaccines are free”
No they’re not. Until they fall to the ground from vaccine trees and monoclonal trees, we taxpayers are footing the bill.
Nothing is FREE.
I found a link yesterday that I think was dealing with this overall topic, but was paying more attention to the many comments and posting same. But check it out.
