If it can save lives, what do we call it when politicians are trying to deny people access to it?

Biden is going to withhold this treatment for red states. Being sure to punish us. “Joe Biden’s Health and Human Services made the announcement earlier this month (LINK) that they were taking full control over Monoclonal Antibody drugs (mAb) in order to begin rationing the highly effective treatment for COVID-19 infection, several people sounded alarm bells as there was the potential for rationing of COVID treatment based on political ideology. Representative Chip Roy of Texas was one of the first to raise concerns “(link). https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2021/09/15/covid-politics-takes-a-dark-turn-biden-administration-takes-control-of-monoclonal-antibody-drugs-in-order-to-block-treatments-in-red-states-and-ration-equitable-treatment/

“He got the antibody treatment and within 24 hours was almost completely symptom-free.”

What did the antibody treatment consist of?

“That’s why they’re cutting it off to red states.”

Yep Biden is EVIL. Another reason NOT to get the vax.

“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.”

Was the person you know in Florida?

RE: Only problem is that it costs thousands of dollars per patient.

It’s FREE. Government pays for it, like they do the vaccines.

From the article:

“...For the people who are getting the preventative treatment the injection is fine. ...”

^^^^^
THIS

Preventative, as well as early therapeutic.

I live in Florida. My husband qualified for the Regeneron treatment and I was allowed to get it too at the same time, even though my positive test hadn’t come back yet and I probably wouldn’t have net the criteria health-wise. I think they gave it to me just because I live with him. It did wonders for both of and the process was well-run. Thank you Governor DeSantis!

Cute, but no. Each dose of the vaccine costs $20 to manufacture.

" I called around and found a center near him as well as one a few hours away that sounds like they might take him. So, I sent her that information."

Right course of action. Mark 12:31. Update us when you can.

"Why have the oximeter results? Because some states still say if your O2 level can't get to 94% or higher, you can't get the antibodies (this was what the CDC required under rationing)."

Wanted to post this to terart but did not think it would fit -- if you are lingering in the 92-93 O2 range, there are gentle ways to raise your 02 level 2 or 3 points, and don't give up just because you are under that 95 cutoff. Call your GP or NP and ask. Monoclonal antibodies WORK.

I don't know. My wife does most of the communications with them.

With people, especially family even more so than friends, getting accurate, detailed info on medical issues is problematical at best.

I have observed that many (most?) people do not really dialog with their doctor or ask questions. They also don't read up on what is being given to them. My BIL and his wife never question their doctor about anything. They take everything they hear in his office as the gospel.

Back to your initial question, I assumed the treatment was a standardized protocol with perhaps the only variations being dosage based on weight and or sex. They live in Florida BTW.

At my annual physical yesterday I asked my doctor what therapeutics he was prescribing for covid. He said most people have light symptoms and need no meds. They recover in a few days. For people with underlying conditions he’s doing IV of monoclonal antibodies and an oral steroid. He thinks HCQ and Over me tin are worthless. I didn’t bother to argue with him.
