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

Posted on 08/18/2021 4:08:03 AM PDT by MtnClimber

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).

Explain away Ivermectin and HCQ because they don’t make big pharma any money.

Infusion of what? There’s pills specifically manufactured for humans, and there’s paste for horses.

Explain away the freeper who just died. She used ivermectin

You are leaving the door open for covid to kill you if you dont have a plan in 10 day window should ivermectin fail.

You need it in place before you get sick so once it happens you know exactly what to do...

Are you being obtuse...or just reckless in your research.

I believe eli lilly still has eua for their combo infusion and the article lists another.

No, they are not cures to the level of efficacy that they need to be.
I am sorry you don’t like the data. But it doesn’t change the data.

I read here that some freeper tried to get the infusion but they didn’t fit the parameters because they would only give it to elderly.

I don’t think that freeper that tried Ivermectin took enough. Seems like she took it every other day and took three doses. Treatment is daily for 5 days.

Then there’s the math thing. Math isn’t everyone’s thing. If you take the same dose as for horse dewormer use, you’re only taking half a covid treatment dose. ie. I’m 125 lbs and a tube will do a 1250 lb horse for deworming purposes. If I just did the weight math, that would give me 10 treatments but if I do the calculation for mg ivermectin/kg body weight, I only get 5 doses in a tube.

It will depend on potential earnings. Is it on patent? Then yes, by gosh! It is effective.

I’m curious about her infusion.

A Monoclonal Antibodies infusion usually bring immediate relief. It did for me. I’ve never heard of it not working. Except for those individuals who waited too long.

I’ve read where doctors and researchers are trying to develop a MAB that can be injected via a shot instead of infused via an IV.

God, I hope so. I’m a firm believer in MAB’s. It worked for me.

Unfortunately Fauci and Big Pharma are only interested in the Vaccine. Nothing else is of any concern to them.

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....

fancy that, surprise surprise surprise. could it be intentionally suppressed for financial considerations? Is ouor government corrupt, incompetent or both?

what do you think of OSHA new penalties that appear to be pushing hospitals to require vaccinations for their employees, is that part of the big pharma plan also?
