A new COVID treatment?
American Thinker ^ | 18 Aug, 2021 | James Stansbury

Is REGEN-COV the answer to COVID?

Nearly a year and a half has passed and over 618,000 COVID-19 related deaths were recorded in the U.S. alone and finally the FDA released an emergency use authorization for REGEN-COV; a new drug that was undergoing testing in 2020 (pre-Biden). It is now an early treatment option for primary care physicians. Until this point, the only authorized COVID-19 treatment my family doctor had per the July 2021 update to NIH guidelines was recommend quarantine, wait until symptoms go away or report to a hospital if they get worse. It is noteworthy that these updated guidelines continue to name hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) as a prohibited drug, but should be no surprise considering a war on HCQ began soon after President Trump dared to recommend it.

However, REGEN-COV is no simple take-home medicine like the familiar Tamiflu frequently prescribed for the seasonal flu. For example, (in the ‘old days’ that ended in March 2020), my wife and I both caught the seasonal flu. Our doctor immediately prescribed Tamiflu and azithromycin because he knew a delay of even a few days would make Tamiflu less effective. REGEN-COV is similarly recommended only for early use before severe symptoms can develop.

Once the initial surge of COVID-19 cases and deaths started in March-April 2020, the seasonal flu magically vanished along with Tamiflu despite some early indications that it works on COVID.

According to the FDA fact sheet on REGEN-COV, the intravenous infusion process it requires appears time-consuming (can take 20 to 50 minutes or more with a one-hour monitoring period immediately after).

Who can afford such a time-consuming process?!?! We're better off with two weeks to flatten the curve so that our hospitals are not overwhelmed. And when I say two weeks, I mean 16 months. At least.

HCQ, Ivermectin, zinc, vitamins C and D, and some others work wonderfully.

And they’re cheap too, which big pharma cannot have.

The whole destroying of reputations and censorship of opinions and studies was to get EUA because big pharma could say there are no other treatments.

I’d really like to hear from Freepers who have used this monoclonal treatment and/or Ivermectin.

My high-risk daughter just got Covid and had the infusion. She’s quite sick, but so far, it’s contained to fever, aches and pains. She will start Ivermectin today. She’s 5 days into the progression.

Here is a new one on the radar... H2O2 with a nebulizer!
A 3% Hydrogen Peroxide with saline mixture. Or... another variant is a Hydrogen Peroxide with a humidifier misting. A quick search for this will yield some information. Obviously you have to have a very strict control of the hydrogen peroxide content. But, some interesting info online about it. There was some information about Budesonide treatment as well. Keep in mind that the H2O2 will generate ZERO dollars/pesos to the drug manufacturers so it will never be studied!

Monoclonal therapy as I have said all along is the proper treatment for those who wish not to be vaccinated

The article is somewhat incorrect as you have 10 days from the onset of symptoms to get it infused not just a day, although the earlier the better.

This therapy does exactly what the other marginal treatments are purported to do. It stops it in its tracks. Tamiflu is targeted therapy. Monoclonals are targeted. Ivermectin and HCQ are repurposed drugs that are not targeted and on it’s best days still far well short of “a cure” which would negate the EUA of vaccines.

This is Fauci's doing. He did the same thing with AIDS...vaccine or nothing. A vaccine never did happen.

The vaccines we have been jabbed with have yet to be approved....and MILLIONS have taken it. WE are Fauci's lab rats.

Article steps around some important dates and events on the timeline, like Trump getting regeneron 10 months ago and making a rapid recovery, advocating for its use; as well as flu “disappearing” because of its being confounded with COVID due to the CDC’s likely intentional misuse of PCR testing.

Sorry to hear about your daughter. Hope she gets well quickly. Why didn’t she get Ivermectin from day one?

Yep. We must educate ourselves on early treatment, advocate for ourselves on early treatment, and if necessary, treat ourselves, early.
I would not willingly admit myself to any hospital that denied ivermectin as a patient choice.

I wish you people would stop this. Ivermectin is a tool to try to use..but it often fails.

Its not the solution for everyone.

A freeper died after using it while trying to get an infusion

Dr ben marble from myfreedoctor.com gobbled all your pills on video and still needed an infusion to live.

You only have a short time to get the infusion.

In that 10 day window you have to make a decision. If you rely on ivermectin..have no other plan... And on day 6 your body tries to kill you and you panic and try to start to get the infusion..the red tape delay may cost you your life.

Ivermectin is just a tool....and any post about it should recognize that fact

Blue highway just went through a scare...got the infusion in florida. Look for her posts about it. She barely got it in time due to red tape and incompetence

Let us know how she fares on ivermectin.
Is this prescribed by her doctor?

The ivermectin trifecta also includes doxycycline and zinc. Is she taking those? You can get both if you need them. This is the Ziverdo kit being used in countries like India and Mexico that allow early treatment.

Note The Marik protocol has updated its ivermectin protocol, with larger dose and longer period of us. Keep up with America’s Frontline Drs.

You can order and give her NAC along with Vit D3 hammer dose, Vit C, zinc, and an ionophore ( ivermectin or quercetin)

Dr. Peter Mc Cullough on America Out Loud is a great resource; he has become less reliant on Ivermectin or HCQ in his recommendations over last several weeks, does strongly advocate for Regeneron. He is also paying a big price for his vaccine skepticism as a one- size - fits -all treatment, for people inclined to see him as a tool.
