Yes if you give someone antibodies to an illness it reduces the need for their body to make its own antibodies and may blunt the immune response. So after receiving this life saving treatment one may not have the vigorous natural immunity they would have had without it. But then they will even alive so there’s the trade off. Someone who gets mab therapy should consider vaccination 3 months or so after the therapy

Well, the same can be said about pregnancy: why should we spend $1500 on abortions for a person who refused free condoms?
= = =

That seems like a good analogy.

How about ‘Condom Karens’, like ‘you need to wear a condom to protect the rest of us’ and ‘it is the non-condoms that make the rest of us wear condoms’, or some such ‘logic’.

The possibilities are endless..."you have to double-up on the condoms, or better yet, two condoms AND the pill."

"Those selfish anti-condomers are really anti-science."

The doctor announced "I refuse to perform an abortion on a woman who didn't use birth control."

We could have a field day with this one. I'm copying some creative FReepers to see if they can weaponized this analogy more broadly.

Four family members did the monoclonal antibody treatment for COVID. It does work!

Although I don't have this option because it goes against my religious beliefs. Same with the poisonous inoculations.

Booster condom.

After sex with two condoms, repeat with three.

They ARE being promoted. As an example, they were totally taking off in Texas with many sick people needing it actually getting those drugs, and quick.

Then the Biden adminstration panicked. The wrong states were getting to use a good drug on their people.

So suddenly they RATIONED it to promote “equity” (their word), meaning that states that were not really needing it as much can now waste time ramping up their REGEN-COV programs while other states (like Texas and Florida) with lots of COVID but also with government that Biden and his ilk do not like, can be suddenly blocked from treating people who are sick and maybe dying — because literally last week and especially this week coming up, many hospitals are suddenly unable to get the drug due to Joe Biden.

Sone jerks say that its not political, there are two sides to the story, but facts are facts: withholding a drug in order to divide a drug up by political lines is a political act! Democrats suddenly care about states rights? Not.

I am really angry about it.

Politics kills.

The sociocommunomarxiofascist politics of the US Democratic Party, in that act alone of the President doing what they do, WILL begin to kill this week, as someone needing that drug in Texas is unable to get it at any cost.

Thank you for the extra information.

I saw my nearest doctor (neighbor) for a few minutes three days ago for something unrelated to viruses. Last night, I awoke with a fever and low oxygen (a look at the palms and in the bathroom mirror, no pulse-ox gadget here but much past experience with strenuous activities at high elevations). Will leave a note for the doctor while going there for a quick, unrelated test in the clinic parking lot in a couple of days (if no more symptoms).

Was okay a few hours later. Moderna vaccination completed almost 5 months ago.

I don’t do the long trips for COVID-19 tests, because exposures are too frequent (family members, friends and their essential jobs, unvaccinated or unhealthy people always falling out around them). We do take some precautions to avoid transmission to others.

Thanks. I’ll get the oximeter or have someone pick it up tomorrow. If it gets weird again tonight, someone will listen at times for breathing, etc.

“Aren’t Regeneron and Eli Lilly big pharma?”

Don’t spoil the story!

So is Merck, which makes Ivermectin. They get kicked out of Big Pharma when the story requires it.
