Distributed Bio co-founder and CEO Dr. Jacob Glanville joined "Tucker Carlson Tonight" Friday to talk about his company's laboratory engineering a therapeutic antibody to combat the coronavirus.
"So what we have done is we've engineered neutralizing antibodies that go and block the virus. The coronavirus, if you were to zoom in on it, you would see a series, a ring of spikes, and it uses those spikes to invade human cells," Glanville said. "We've identified a series of super potent antibodies that block those spikes and therefore make the virus no longer infectious."
Glanville explained the power of antibodies, saying it helped during the Ebola epidemic.
"This is the thing that turned the tide against Ebola. The Ebola used to be a death sentence, about 50 percent mortality rate," Glanville said. "And then once a good antibody neutralizing solution was made, then I think 94 percent of people can walk away."
"So that transformed Ebola from a dangerous crisis to a manageable treatment," Glanville added.
The doctor also spoke about the advantages of antibodies over vaccines.
"We've also got antibodies to treat rabies. We've got antibodies to treat RSV in babies. Antibodies are used to for anti-venom. So this is extremely well-established platform technology. It has the advantage," Glanville said. "You can produce antibodies much faster than you can make a vaccine. And as I'd heard you mentioned previously on all that modeling, every day counts. We're venting an incredible amount of money out of our economy and risking lives. And so you want to have a medicine as quickly as possible."
Glanville outlined the process, hoping to go toward human trial this summer.
"Our next move is we hand this off to the U.S. military, a consortium from the Gates Foundation and some private groups.

Casting about for a miracle cure probably won’t be terribly helpful. There may even be some, like I said two weeks ago, that have an effect on mild cases. Certainly rinsing your hands with silver in solution would probably be effective at cleansing your hands. The body isn’t just a bag of water.
Searching for a “cure” on the shelves at PetSmart is panic behavior.

Why isn't Silver widely used as a bar against harmful viruses?
If you listened his next step is turning it over to our military labs, etc
Fox writes Gates Foundation but I didn’t hear him say that last night
I will have nothing to do with the Gates Foundation!

“I guess it depends on whether mere contact with silver harms the virus. If that’s the case then you may well be on the right track. Mask filters, maybe air handling filters.
The NIH article mentions that other metal nano-particles may also be effective; gold gets mentioned as well as non-precious metals. No one knows because this possibility hasn’t been investigated enough.”
What about copper?
Hmm your not as much in the know as i thought. Interesting
This guy is probably in great danger from the RAT party who love this virus and want it to ruin the country.
Tucker did ask the Doctor about a time frame. I think he said the month of August.
Immunologists know nothing, they can just stuff a tuna donut in their fat sweaty mouths. I hate the pompous bastards.
What’s that have to do with research involving agnp and graphene in relation to the fabrication of biomedical devices and sensors? Do you even know what these things are and the amount research going on here long before this pandemic? Nevermind involves weeks of reading
It means I’ve seen this movie as has every MD in the country. It was an embarrassment that time. Clinicians generally don’t care a great deal HOW something works though we are expected to be able to understand it when it does. Colloidal Silver has been around for a long time, it’s applications are known. We expect that if it wer a cure for cancer or whatever that would be known now. My uncle used to wear a copper bracelet for Arthritis. He swore by it.
Becoming more apparent you don't know what I'm referencing or writing about
Anyhow i'm sure you've got things to do under lock down too just thought you'd be more informed on these sort of things but its becoming clear it involves a lot more chemistry and physics skills than a medical doctor deems necessary to understand. Why do these particles, especially at a below a certain size to be in the nanometer range keep emitting ions that seem to be so disruptive to the enzymatic and other processes occurring here? How does that work?
I might need your uncles email.
I understand Chemistry pretty well, certainly as well as your average Joe. As a Pre Med I had to make “A” in every course, 2 semesters of Inorganic, 2 semesters of Organic, 2 semesters of Biochem (400 level), 2 semesters of Physiological Chem (600 level), Phsyiology (600 level) was petty chemistry intense. I used to have to calculate Bicarbonate doses during a code in my head. I wouldn’t exactly call me “chemically naive” but I have never represented myself as a “chemist”.
My uncle died over a decade ago. IMHO I do believe that the way silver works and has been known to work is in wounds. Silver has long ago proven VERY successful in wound care, particularly wounds that are hard to heal. Having had to deal with more than a few wounds that were “difficult” i have first hand experience. I have long felt the way silver works on wounds has PROBABLY got something to do with “breaking up the slime layer”. Many bacteria live in colonies that are “difficult to treat”. Of course this is only bacteria that produce this biological slime. I used to know several off the bat but...
Anyway, bacteremia is not a colony. It is freely replicating bacteria in the blood stream. I have long thought that this was why Silver has never shown clinical promise internally.

Thanks for the info; I rely on text due to severe hearing disability.

that was just to get to Phase II ... trials like that also have a Phase III, and then you have to manufacture in bulk and then distribute it ... there have been several other articles about this guy, and he said in the other articles it would take until November for the drug to be fully available to the public at large in large amounts ...
“any thoughts”
my only thought is that it’s well known that certain formulations of silver used externally can be useful in medicine, for example, silver nitrate solution used as eye-drops in newborns ... however, everything i’ve read from credible sources claim that silver formulations consumed internally are a hoax and a fraud and that if the doses are high enough, even dangerous ...
