Would you get the Regeneron antibody infusion if you had Covid?

It is also “experimental” (according to this board)

It also has a higher likelihood of immediate side effects when compared to vaccines. (We have seen a couple anaphylactic reactions during infusion. No anaphylactic reactions to vaccines here yet)

Yes. It does NOT tell your cells to create spike proteins.

It’s kind of amazing that it hasn’t even crossed your mind that the question you are asking implies that the person is already infected with the virus and presumably is experiencing significant symptoms.

Are you suggesting that the patient sick with COVID is increasing his risk by taking the antibodies?

This is why you can’t blindly let Drs. Do the thinking for you.

You don’t call the heart stopping an anaphylactic reaction to the vaccine?

yes and I know several people that have had it with success. Show me a person in the ICU that rejects Regeneron. I want to see this person in real life.

two coworkes and my grandmother all had the infusion and each of them said they felt much better by the next day....no reactions

there was a 3 day wait for one of the coworkers. other guy got it asap because of prexisting heart condition. my grandmother also got it straight away because of her age and health condition


all are doing fine now.

worth noting...the two co workers are vaccinated, grandma is not

Would you use a condom that had holes in it? Wearing the paper mask is effectively the same against the virus.

If you are gasping for air like a goldfish out of water,

I'd bet you wouldn't say no to anything, including experimental treatments.

I had the Bamlanvimab monoclonal antibody treatment.

Had a mild infusion reaction that evening, one hour of a 101.5 fever, and then no issues.

Quick recovery from Covid.

I’ve had 6 people I know who got this or other types of monoclonal antibody treatments, all were high risk, all recovered quickly.

Monoclonal therapy is not a new technology.

Just testing positive? Or are you talking about being very sick and in the hospital? I have a son who tested positive and he's never felt a thing; why would he take Regeneron?

Bees and peanuts also cause anaphylactic reactions

You are kind of being a typical dick here, but let us roll with it.

Would I go get Regeneron because I was exposed or had symptoms - No.

Would I get it like my Dad did, because he was in the hospital and close to being vented and probably dying - Yes.

Without it I probably would have buried my Dad a few months back. Risk vs. reward only you can decide what is right for you.

A friend of mine has had covid for almost 2 weeks now. He was actually starting to get better. On Tuesday he went to get the infusion. 4 hours later he was in the ER. His heart rate dropped, he passed out, next thing he remembered was waking up in an ambulance.

Last time I talked to him they believe he had some sort of anaphylactic reaction to the infusion. First I’ve heard of that happening.

Didn't get it when I had Covid. The immune system I was born with kicked in and I recovered in 5 days.
