Tocilizumab is an IL-6 inhibitor and we’ve been using it (or baricitinib) since the Fall of 2020.

I have lost complete trust in all of them. I’ll never get a shot for anything ever again

This is another example of FDA mission creep.

The FDA does not “approve” nor to they “prohibit” the use of licensed drugs for any indication a licensed physician believes they might be useful.

Tocilizumab was licensed in 2003 for treatment of certain inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis.

It works by inhibiting interleukin 6 (IL-6).

As soon as the role of IL-6 in fatal COVID was understood, certainly by August 2020, anyone with a license could prescribe it for a COVID patient. FDA PERMISSION IS NOT NECESSARY FOR ANY USE OF ANY LICENSED DRUG, much as FDA would like that to be the case.

Its not a monoclonal antibody.

Its an interleukin 6 antagonist used to treat RA.

Talk about inaccurate reporting!!!

I read somewhere just recently that monoclonal antibodies were phased out, didn’t work.

I’m not well-versed on the subject, but monoclonals did save a good friend of mine’s life in 2021, so there’s that.

Just-as-effective, alternative therapeutics such as monoclonal antibodies and ivermectin could not be approved by “health agencies” and by unelected bureaucrats lest the “vaccine” mandates be rescinded as required by law.
