I have a lot of hesitation about Regeneron. I don’t qualify for the monoclonal anyway in my state (by age or risk factors), but I am very concerned about some of the research using humanized mice and such.

RegenCov uses VelocImmune® and VelociSuite® technologies.

Read about these technologies here: https://www.regeneron.com/science/technology

Regeneron CEO was involved in this kind of research regarding fetal liver tissue to create humanized mice: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0006497120336673

So, while I cannot say for certain that fetal tissue was used in the humanized mice that is part of Regen-cov, it is too close to comfort for me.

The REGN treatment was offered to me..free. I coded a COVID patient for 45-60 minutes... I declined....I think two people in that code took the treatment... Of all the Tx's out there....I think this is the safest. FWIW---

Can you translate please? You declined treatment that you think is the safest?

(I have no idea what "I coded a COVID patient for 45-60 minutes" means, nor what "I think two people in that code took the treatment" means, nor what "Tx's" are.)

I am sorry....Plenty of Medical talk....

Yeah I declined REGN tx.

Why you ask....I've no doubt in my mind...I've had the 19...many, many months ago..

Just didn't feel my normal....got over it. I have antibodies....Naturally.

I'm up in the grills of sick people all the time......

Coded means they stopped breathing and / or their heart stopped.

Super nice guy....Obese...strike one.

Didn't seek treatment fast enough...Strike two...

He coded and died...Late 40's..as I recall.

so what you’re advocating is do nothing and risk death?

may I remind you that the last 4 ‘influencers’ in the news, and a certain NFL player, who were all promoting and self-medicating with your kitchen sink 2020 remedies, ALL ,every one of them, ran like lightening to monoclonals to save their skins.
