That's not exactly true. The cells were infected and the antibodies were tested on the fetal cells and some mouse cells to see if the antibodies worked. The actual medicine didn't come from the fetal cells.
Think of monoclonal antibodies as plasma with antibodies from a cured covid patient. To test it they used human fetal cells infected with covid. They also used mouse cells changed to human like cells to test it. It works. It lowers the virus load if you use it early enough. If you are already hospitalized, it may not lower the load enough to allow nature to cure the virus. It just gives a head start to the antibodies. Just mentioning "fetal cells" doesn't necessarily mean they are injected inside the patient. They just used them to prove it worked on human type cells containing covid.
Monoclonal antibodies works on several diseases including some cancers using a different base chemical to start with. This is not "new".
You need to ask what the requirements are to get it. Most have to be a certain age and be overweight with diabetes and other things. A healthy person in middle age probably won’t qualify. My wife is reasonably healthy but could win it for me even if she gets covid so I wouldn’t get it. I have about every comorbidity you can have.
Well I just turned 70 and my wife is not far behind. So, my daughter is telling us that we will be eligible based on age.
So far, so good...
