Are you talking about CoupFlu or Deep State?

The amount of antibodies in the plasma is the key and how close the patient is to dying..................

Lemme guess... the study waited until people were already on death’s door before trying the treatment?

This is a lie. We are using it in Texas and it was on the news last night locally that it is helping many people some in just a few hours.

“We only want the vaccinations to deal with the virus. Preventative treatments are useless because we don’t like their low profit margins and anyone that is successfully treated by other than the new vaccines does not generate huge profits for us. If they get real sick and come to a hospital we want to ventilate them because there is also a lot of money in that, too. If they die, well, too bad, so sad.”

Were the news reports about this treatment or the monoclonal antibody treatment? They are different things.

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

Well of course you would say that. I’m not surprised at all.

Regarding my previous statement about your saying remdesivir doesn’t work…… I thought remdesivir was a monoclonal . If I am wrong then my apologies for my previous statement to you. Can you clarify that please, Is remdesivir a monoclonal antibody or not? Thanks

No. Remdesivir is an antiviral originally made for Ebola. Monoclonal antibodies end in -mab.

I actually have advocated monoclonals a long time. Monoclonal are regeneron and previously bamlanivomab. They are targeted and very good.

So they are saying that having natural antibodies is more likely to get you killed?

No, they are saying that treating people that already have a really serious case of Covid-19 are not helped by treating them with convalescent plasma.

Mainly because convalescent plasma is variable as to its source. One person’s convalescent plasma may have tons of antibodies, while the next person’s might have relatively few...................
