Doesn’t make sense.
Anyway, convalescent plasma has proved to be a big nothing unfortunately.
I think it was found that convalescent plasma from actual COVID-19 disease survivors was not particularly effective.

Yours is a complete distortion - right on schedule. Are you trying to do ‘damage control’? Then stop causing more damage.
The article says VACCINATED plasma is not helpful. They want convalescent plasma from UNVACCINATED people.

Oh, you Strange-Brew-Crewers and your campaigns of misinformation. Convalescent plasma is really NOT particularly effective but collecting it from recovered COVID-19 patients does deliver the American Red Cross and other collectors a whole lot of federal dollars. They get $600 - $800 a unit for collected covid product, compared with the $100 price for a regular unit of fresh, frozen plasma.

EXTRACT FOLLOWS:
The treatment that infuses blood plasma from recovered covid patients into people newly infected in hopes of boosting their immune response has not lived up to early hype. Some high-profile clinical trials have shown disappointing results. Demand from hospitals for the antibody-rich plasma has plunged. After a year of large-scale national efforts to recruit recovered covid patients as donors and the collection of more than 500,000 units of covid convalescent plasma, known as CCP, some longtime advocates of the therapy say they’re now pessimistic about its future.
“I fear the CCP train has left the station,” said Dr. Michael Busch, director of the Vitalant Research Institute, one of the largest blood-center based transfusion medicine research programs in the U.S. “We created all this enthusiasm, and then these studies came out and they say this stuff didn’t work in the first place.”…
…Enthusiasm faded in recent weeks following two serious setbacks: A large federal clinical trial, dubbed C3PO, testing the use of convalescent plasma in high-risk patients who came to an emergency room with mild to moderate covid symptoms was halted late last month after researchers concluded that, while the infusions caused no harm, they were unlikely to benefit patients. That same week, a pooled analysis of 10 convalescent plasma studies, published in JAMA, found no clear benefit.
In January, the FDA scaled back the emergency authorization of convalescent plasma, limiting its use to hospitalized covid patients early in the course of the disease and those with medical conditions that impair immune function. The agency also said that only plasma with high concentrations of virus-fighting antibodies could be used after May 31….
… Further complicating matters, federal contracts worth $646 million that paid U.S. blood centers to collect covid convalescent plasma are about to expire, prompting centers nationwide to reconsider whether the complicated process of collecting the plasma is still worth the work. Given the added complexity, blood centers have been reimbursed $600 to $800 a unit for the covid product, compared with the $100 price for a regular unit of fresh, frozen plasma.
“We’re not getting orders,” said Dr. Louis Katz, chief medical officer at the Mississippi Valley Regional Blood Center in Davenport, Iowa. “I don’t want to collect a product that is not going to get used and will cost me more money.”
Then they laughed and told me that my levels keep going up not down.
They said that that from being exposed to it again and again. My immune system has this virus down pact.
Not reading your trash.
I posted a newscast. I did not create the content. You have problems. Don’t dump them on me.
*round of applause!* GO TEAM GO!
That’s great news - thanks for brightening my day! :D

The opposite of anything you say is true, therefore the thread post which has shocked the vax pushers and has them out in force MUST BE TRUE!
Selling my high quality, naturally recovered, covid antibody rich blood, bursting with T cell protection, type A+.
No GMO vaccine crap.
And no low-ball offers!
I know what I have here.
PM me.
“Wild” immunity is very good. around 80% effective- similar to the vaccines.
Though it’s riskier for some people to get immunity that way.
This is the most interesting comment I have seen about immunity resulting from having had COVID-19. It is such a shame that our government does not want us to have important facts.
She’s a $15/hr CDC “vaccine navigator” so there’s that…
Say what???????
The vaccine actually destroys the natural immunity a person has from catching the virus itself????
No wonder they want people who had it to get vaccinated.

Okay, FINALLY I understand her so-called ‘medical background’ because the way she pushes vax’s as safe even though there is no evidence to support that claim seems creepy if she had been a real doctor.

“antibody prevalence among blood donors 16.4% using the Roche N assay (indicating previously infected) and 70.0% using the Roche S assay (higher due to vaccination)”
Chart there.
Anybody can search “convalescent plasma” and see the dismal results.
People vaccinated don’t have anything to donate for convalescent plasma.
Reporters are so ignorant.

Makes it even more clear, and sinister, now, doesn’t it??
I think there are at least 2 paid CDC/Pharma
Users on FR.
This is one.
My opinion, but I believe it’s true.
That is correct. Convalescent plasma does not do squat.
And vitamin D was just shown to have no effect on the disease. But I guess that won’t be reported as it does to fit your narrative. Accessories to murder is a disgusting and false statement that is beyond the realm of taste
