The Federal Drug Administration Saturday night approved an Emergency Use Authorization for an antibody treatment President Donald Trump received shortly after being diagnosed with the Wuhan coronavirus. The manufacturer, Regeneron, received the green light for their cocktail of two antibodies – or casirivimab and imdevimab – that appear to be effective for those with mild to moderate coronavirus.
The two antibodies, referred to as monoclonal antibodies, are created in a lab and mimic the human body’s natural immune system. When administered the cocktail prevents the virus from attaching to human cells.
In order to receive the treatment, a patient must be 12 years or older, weigh at least 88 pounds and are at high-risk for progressing to a severe stage of the virus. A patient cannot be hospitalized or require oxygen because of the Wuhan coronavirus.
According to the FDA, taking the antibody cocktail has shown to reduce the number of hospitalizations and emergency room visits in those who are high risk for the disease.
Regeneron will have enough doses of the cocktail for 80,000 patients by the end of November. That number will increase to 200,000 patients by the first week of January and 300,000 by the end of January, the New York Times reported.

It's too bad the NIH and CDC were complicit in mass murder by preventing the widespread and early treatment of cases using the Hyroxychloroquine-Trump cocktail.
