Major study finds convalescent plasma doesn't help seriously ill COVID-19 patients

Sounds like more lies from the healthcare community.

My local blood bank stopped taking convalescent plasma months ago and are even turning away people who have had the vaccine or recovered from COVID for plasma and platelet donations due to the risks to those who receive those components.

Interesting.

Going in next week to get bled for this. We will see what the ladies say

[House Atreides]

I’m glad that controlled studies such as this are being done. I just wish it was somewhat larger.

[lizma2]

IIRC plasma from post infected people works but the plasma from vaccinated people is harmful.

This report is CYA.

Will they give you your titer levels?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

SOS.

Wait until somebody is on death’s doorstep then try the treatment and when the patient dies say it doesn’t work.

Early in the pandemic, one of the locl hospitals was using convalescent plasma to significant benefit for its patients. This has now been replaced by monoclonal antibody infusions. The cited study emphasizes that the level of antibodies in the plasma makes a big difference in the success of the plasma treatment, as common sense would predict.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

The minimal efficacy of CP against COVID has been reported for 15 months or more. This just confirms what others have been saying for a long time.

I think Floridians would beg to differ. The number of dead has gone down dramatically coinciding with opening-up antibody treatment centers while the numbers infected are still very high.

riverdawg :" The cited study emphasizes that the level of antibodies in the plasma makes a big difference in the success of the plasma treatment,

So, perhaps the most recent recovery patient plasma would have the more active antibodies, than those who recovered from covid a year ago ?

[Red Badger]

... the numbers infected are still very high

Which I believe is bogus. .....................

[gas_dr]

I’m my experience both remdesivir and convalescent plasma is worthless

[JoSixChip]

Which I believe is bogus.

I don't believe anything they report ether. I'm just using what they are reporting to show that even their own lies don't support what they say.

[gas_dr]

That’s monoclonal therapy. Not convalescent plasma. Monoclonals work extremely well

[JoSixChip]

Monoclonals work extremely well

Then no need for the dangerous vax, right Dr. faux?

[bgill]

The Red Cross said they wouldn’t take blood from the vaxxed but then quickly backtracked.

Bottom line, we know nothing about this monster other than it’s not going away anytime soon.

[Flaming Conservative]

Sure helped the guy I know of. Dr. told family he wasn’t sure if he’d make it, but found a donor match. Moved out of ICU the next day, went home feeling good the day after.

[gas_dr]

No there is a role for prevention and treatment. and the FLCCC agrees
