Well after that interruption, back to the matter at hand.

This from a MD who is the Founder of BreatheMD. Treated 2000+ patients with #COVID19. Advocate for healthcare transparency. Empower patients and their providers:

The last 48 hours we hit a record with 27% of our tests coming back positive. 57 people in 2 days who could have been helped by monoclonal antibodies, but since the government has shut off supply, and nothing else is “allowed”, we will just hope they do okay.

Which brings us back to this

Do you believe Senile Biden and the federal government should be blocking any potential lifesaving treatment for Covid (which includes the distribution of monoclonal antibody treatments) in the U.S.

Depends on the treatments. Depends on the MABS. Depends on the context. The question as stated is overly broad. Which is why it's a bullshit question.

Should people have more choices of treatments? Probably.

Should they have access to fringe or bleeding edge possibities that have no EUA? Probably not.

Does that answer your question?

The question is literally asking for a persons opinion. But I guess if the answer is different from the OPs opinion it’s wrong.

Stick to just making Blanket statements instead of asking a persons opinion if you don’t actually want another persons opinion.

How do you define "doesn't work"?

Forget about just catching covid. What about getting sick enough to be hospitalized? Are the people being admitted to hospitals mostly vaxxed or unvaxxed?

The vaxes aren't perfect - but they sure as hell are preventing our health-care system from being completely overwhelmed!

The question you and the unvaxxed should be asking yourselves is - why hold the good hostage to the perfect? Originally Posted by lustylad
I had Covid in March. Wasn’t any worse than any other bug I’ve had in my life. Maybe I was lucky. In my circumstance, I see no reason to take the “good hostage”. I’m in hospitals everyday. Don’t kid yourself. The vaxed are there too. And some are dying. Depends on age and co-morbidities. The MNra jabs are not vaccines, but treatments. Experimental ones at that. Vaers confirms that there’s more deaths and adverse consequences from these “vaccines” than all others combined in the last 15yrs. Where there’s smoke there’s fire eh? But now we’re in the Omnicron phase of the virus, which by all accounts is mild. Why take an experimental jab now? The survival rate for the original variants was 99%, depending on age. Why not take your chances of getting Omnicron and establishing natural immunity which is tried and true over a thousand years? I’m for people making their on decisions. Do what you feel is right for you.

Then just STFU!!!!!!!!

JUST IN - 89.7% of people infected with #Omicron in Denmark are either "fully vaccinated" or had their first booster, per report from today. 77.9% of the population is fully vaccinated.

If the “subject” is a question asking for opinions then how can it possibly be off topic ?

Just trying to make sure I understand the rules.

Thanks Doc

And what the OP is sticking to as his reason for being off topic.

Utter churlishness.

Thanks for the warning points, Doc. Still doesn’t make you pass my screening

Monoclonal antibodies are very effective in treating Covid. If you have UPMC insurance they will pay for it. But you need to prove your symptoms to reach their threshold. There’s another option in Pittsburgh

https://www.highfieldcare.com/monoclonal.php.

They also take certain UPMC insurance programs. They will give you a PCR test. If you test positive they will administer the treatment. I know several people who went there and a UPMC facility. They felt better within 24hrs. So there’s that.

Can be effective. 2 of the heavy hitters that help with Delta aren't effective against Omicron.

Those are the two being effectively dropped from the rotation, potentially prematurely. Is that criminal as asserted in the title and initial post? Doubtful.

It definitely puts more pressure on the limited supply of what's left and forces tougher choices. But it also limits how many people who get Omicron from being infused with an ineffective treatment. There are some more in the pipeline but Omicron may peak and recede before they're ready for prime time.
