Monoclonal antibody treatment can reduce the severity of COVID-19 if infused quickly after a positive test. That’s been in the books for months, even though it doesn’t draw much attention.
Now anyone considered high risk, who is exposed to COVID-19, qualifies for the treatment, adding the preventative capability into the mix.
“We know from previous data that we can reduce the need for hospitalization and the risk of dying by 70% if we can get the medication in on time,’’ said Dr. Bruce Muma, CEO of the Henry Ford Physician Network who heads up Henry Ford’s monoclonal antibody program. “
“For every 10 infusions, we prevent a hospitalization. For every 50 infusions, we save a life,’’ Muma said.
At Henry Ford Health System more than 2,600 monoclonal antibody infusions have been administered without a single bad reaction.
“We are not actually participating in a study to prove it works, that’s already happened. The FDA decided to expand the indications based on that data. It does work, it works for people who are treated and it also has some effectiveness to prevent it from happening in people that are at super high-risk,’’ Muma said.
High risk includes over age 65 and anyone with chronic conditions like kidney disease, lung disease or heart disease. The FDA also included anyone with a BMI (Body Mass Index) of more than 25. “More than half the population of the country has a BMI over 25. That’s the high-risk group. That expanded it, making it very permissive,’’ Muma said.
The CDC has reported that 78% of those with COVID who were hospitalized were obese or overweight.
“For the post-exposure prophylactics, they basically added the criteria that they had not been vaccinated or they’re immunocompromised such as they didn’t respond, they likely didn’t have a good response to the vaccine. They might be on cancer chemotherapy or other treatments impairing their immune system. Or they have a disease that impairs their immune system and they may not have responded fully to the vaccine even if they got the full vaccine,’’ Muma added.
Monoclonal antibody is a form of treatment discovered in the mid-1970s and brought to market in the mid-1990s for several diseases including autoimmune diseases, cancer and infections.
Basically monoclonal antibodies are human antibodies created in a lab using various
animal cell culture techniques. These antibodies bind to a target protein in the body and stimulate the immune system to eliminate it. In the case of a viral target, like COVID19, it binds to the spike protein on the surface of the virus.
It is usually given intravenously, although that is changing.
“Up until the latest (Emergency Use Authorization) was released about three weeks ago it was only given by IV infusion. … In other conditions with other monoclonal antibody formulations we’ve been able to inject it. With this latest EUA the FDA is allowing us to do injections as well as infusion. For some patients who it’s really hard to get an IV on or they don’t want an IV we can give it by injection,’’ Muma said.
He said they prefer the infusion for people who have the infection because it spreads through the body quicker. For the people who are getting the preventative treatment the injection is fine.
Despite the positive data about monoclonal antibodies, it’s still almost a secret.
Muma said there are many reasons.
“One factor is that hospitals are so swamped with managing patients in the hospital and managing all the other related issues like getting people vaccinated. I don’t know if we’ve had the resources that we need — we being health care in general across Southeast Michigan — to invest in the infusion process,’’ Muma said.
“We have massive shortages of nurses right now so infusion centers — we’ve struggled to get enough staffing to open up enough beds to provide it. I know every other health system has struggled with it too,’’ he added.
He said there are lots of places to get the monoclonal antibody treatment but it’s hard for any one person to know where the closest and best place is. Some urgent care centers and doctors offices give the infusions. He suggests calling your doctor or checking the website CurshCovid.com to find a location.
“We’ve actually worked with the health departments as well as with some of the other health systems to help them develop the capacity and maybe the processes they need to effectively distribute it,’’ Muma said.
The medication itself is paid for by the federal government. Most insurance companies cover the administration charges. Henry Ford works with the Department of Health and Human Services so if somebody does not have insurance coverage, it is free of charge.
“We think the best way to deliver this going forward is in the home. We have a paramedic program called Mobile Integrated Health. We have employed paramedics at Henry Ford, they are licensed and supervised to provide the treatment in the home,’’ Muma said. “They can travel to the home, bring the medication, and put the IV in. The patient has to be watched for an hour.
While there is no cure for COVID-19, monoclonal antibodies have been proven to help lessen the symptoms.
“We want to get the word out that if you’re not vaccinated we still want to save you, please come in and get your infusion,’’ Muma said.
“One factor is that hospitals are so swamped with managing patients in the hospital and managing all the other related issues like getting people vaccinated. I don’t know if we’ve had the resources that we need — we being health care in general across Southeast Michigan — to invest in the infusion process,’’ Muma said.
so pushing the vaccine is interfering with life saving treatments.
The name of one of the monoclonal treatments is REGENERON. For some strange reason (Trump was treated with it), that fact seems to be left out.
Monoclonal antibody treatment for COVID saves lives; can prevent hospitalizations>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
So can Ivermectin based therapy, readily available and a lot cheaper:
The vaccine is a dead end path to coping with Covid.
Eventually it will not work at all.
Immunity is 27 times more effective than any Vax.
So how do we get immunity? We use drug therapy once infected, and we all sooner or later will be infected, its like the common cold, unavoidable.
The best so far is Ivermectin based drug therapy.
The proper approach to conquering the virus is one like we use for malaria.
Ivermectin therapy should be over the counter, non prescription, and used according to established protocols with which we can educate the public.

Ivermectin is no longer a banned treatment by the CDC. They are just “not recommending” it.The reason that the government is so afraid of Ivermectin is that it likely clears the circulation system of ALL stick proteins whether generated by the VAX or by the Virus. So it will likely reverse the effect of the jab.
You will need over the counter Zinc, Vitamin D and Quercetin supplements.Available on line or at larger drug stores.
Hundreds of Feepers stocked up over the last 6 months.
********************************
There is reasonably solid evidence that ivermectin docks to the spike protein itself to prevent binding to the ACE2 receptor which is the primary pathology causing the tissue damage and clots related to SARS-CoV-2. Therefore, this is also an implication that this ability of ivermectin to disable the binding of the Spike protein including the vaccine-produced spike proteins. This binding of ivermectin to disable the spike protein is also preserved even with the newer spike protein mutations, but its activity against the original Wuhan spike protein,(the one vaccines were designed to produce) is fairly well studied at this point.
Abstract:
Background/Aim: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). One drug that has attracted interest is the antiparasitic compound ivermectin, a macrocyclic lactone derived from the bacterium Streptomyces avermitilis. We carried out a docking study to determine if ivermectin might be able to attach to the SARS-CoV-2 spike receptor-binding domain bound with ACE2. Materials and Methods: We used the program AutoDock Vina Extended to perform the docking study. Results: Ivermectin docked in the region of leucine 91 of the spike and histidine 378 of the ACE2 receptor. The binding energy of ivermectin to the spike-ACE2 complex was -18 kcal/mol and binding constant was 5.8 e-08. Conclusion: The ivermectin docking we identified may interfere with the attachment of the spike to the human cell membrane. Clinical trials now underway should determine whether ivermectin is an effective treatment for SARS-Cov2 infection.
The following video explains the multiple mechanisms of the activity of Ivermectin including the ability of the body to maintain its basic defense of the cell nucleus in preserving the body’s ability to produce antiviral proteins, inhibition of RNA dependant RNA polymerase which inhibits the replication of viral RNA (possibly including that from the mRNA vaccine package), the stat 3 human signaling pathway which inhibits the production of blood clots also possibly mitigating some of the vaccines most dangerous side effects. Also discussed is the inhibition of the CD147 pathway by ivermectin which again may block the clumping of platelets due to spike protein either from the virus or possibly the vaccines.
Note: Ivermectin therapy likley will gradually rid the body of spike proteins altogether, something to remember for those who might have residual side effects from mRNA vaccine.
Huge successes have happened. Here is one:

Wasn’t DeSantis One of the first to make this widely available? I’m sure he’ll get credit for the idea, right?
RE: I’m sure he’ll get credit for the idea, right?
Only in Florida but nowhere else.
That's an interesting shift, as IM was not preferred for REGEN-COV-2 initially. Now it's equal to IV as conditions permit. 8g bolus, that must take at least 3 or 4 different IM placements.
A nephew had this treatment last month and was symptom-free in 36 hours. Best of all, if you weren’t “vaccinated” to begin with, you wind up with full natural immunity, which is said to be 3X greater than any of the “vaccines”, no matter how many booster shots they give you.
My own doctor has assured me that his hospital system is now providing this “immunoglobulin” (as he called it), so I’m not so obsessed with finding a source for Ivermectin anymore.
(I’m unvaccinated, and Hell will freeze solid before I get any of their “jabs”.)
RE: A nephew had this treatment last month and was symptom-free in 36 hours
I’m happy for him. But are there any QUALIFICATIONS before someone with Covid can receive this treatment?
“Wasn’t DeSantis One of the first to make this widely available? I’m sure he’ll get credit for the idea, right?”
Yes he was. There are a couple of clinics by me that have it. My wife has already checked into it. We want to stay out of the hospitals at all costs.
This was known EARLY ON, and shouldn't surprise anyone. I personally worked my ass off in the last year to lose 55lbs and re-gain my health because of this FACT.
How long will the Monoclonal antibodies remain active in the body....as a preventive means against covid?
My wife and I have also lost weight through this time, and, thankfully, it’s been extremely easy to do so.
According to MY doctor, you end up with lifetime natural immunity.
BTW to those still advocating Ivermectin uber alles, I'll take the monoclonal antibody treatment my medical group is offering because I won't have to fight for it. It's as good or better, and Medicare's paying most of it anyway.
*** The FDA also included anyone with a BMI (Body Mass Index) of more than 25. ***
I’ve worked hard since January to get my BMI under 25, and I’m finally there. Hubby still has a bit to go, but not that much. This would be our only qualification for the antibody treatment, unless we lived in Florida.
It’s easy to put the pounds on, and much harder to take them off as we’ve gotten older.
Yep about sums whole government created ‘disaster’ doesn’t it? And political and government created this right out of the pen on every level everywhere. It’s like if someone goes in to ‘doctor’ (sorry no disrespect but don’t even know WTH that means these days) with stage I breast cancer and doctor says- “you have stage one breast cancer, I can’t help you. Go home and come back when it’s stage IV’ (..,and then we’ll go through the motions of pretending to try to save your life). THAT is how government controlled medical establishment is addressing Covid. Thank you very much MF’s
A couple of weeks ago in Florida a friend of ours and her husband and son all contracted the virus. She and the son had it pretty mild. However her husband is an Iraq veteran with severe lung problems because of the crap he was exposed to over there. And he is under 40. He got the antibody treatment and within 24 hours was almost completely symptom-free. And I can’t think of anybody much higher risk thzn this guy based on what he’s going through with his lungs on a regular basis.
A friend of mine got really sick a second time with COVID - got this treatment the second time, completely better within 48 hours. It does work.
Freeper terart (Rest In Peace) was apparently denied REGEN-COV-2 with blood oxygen under 95. YMMV.
The Emergency Use directs 12 years of age or over and at least weigh 88 pounds.
I know someone who was only exposed to Covid but is over 65. They gave this person the Monoclonal antibodies as a preventative. The nurse doing the shots said it could last up to 10 months. They are giving 4 shots instead of infusion in some places in Florida. Just as effective. I know 5 people that gotten the monoclonal. All the folks that were sick, recovered quickly and 2 were prophylactic…..they never got Covid.
4 shots in different location areas of the body. 1 in each arm, leg or in the stomach.
