It really helped my parents. My 70 year old Dad was mowing the yard 2 days later while I was still stuck to the couch.

Wish they would open it up to everyone.

Unfortunately I think it’s an issue of running out of it

If supply was unlimited covid would be 100% over

I had covid a few weeks ago with mild symptoms. They signed me up immediately from the urgent Care I got tested, and I felt great the next day. My wife has had fever for 7 days and feels like crap and the majority of doctors don't know what she's talking about when she asks. Went to the hospital to ask and they said she wasn't sick enough. This whole thing is a big reactive CYA and the worst kept secret is no one knows what to do.


Almost exact outcome here. Wifey(no pics) caught first. Then me. Taking ivermectin prednisone and doxycyline. I felt bad half a day. I feel euphoric today except scratchy throat. Wife still lingering but much better. Kids all got it and running around house with 102F fever except 16 yr old feels crappy

Its criminal they have only pushed vax and havent openly revealed a menu of options. People have gone to war over less.

My brother got it a week ago. He’s 56, healthy, no underlying conditions, very active, rides motocross, etc. They told him to take vit B and D, zinc, and baby aspirin. Now a week later he ended up in the ER with 103 fever, lost 11 lbs. (was not overweight), stomach issues, can’t eat, can barely walk due to weakness. They set him up for the antibody infusion this morning.

There's hcq and ivermectin.
Anyone who says this on YouTube or Facebook gets banned. This is what really troubles me so much about the whole Covid thing. For one it is only deadly to a minute fraction of the population, and the number of deaths are not that much bigger than annual respiratory/pneumonia/flu deaths. And second, there has never been a push to boost your immune system - eat fruits and vegetables, get exercise, lose weight, get some natural vitamin D from the Sun. Instead, the MSM and Social media told us - stay inside, wear a mask, HCQ and Ivermectin are only pushed by fringe doctors and can't be trusted. The only thing that works is the vaccine (even though it still doesn't have FDA approval). The only way to defeat Covid is for 100% of the people to get the vaccine. (Even though it is not deadly to well over 99.9% of the world's population). If someone gets sick or hospitalized or even dies from the vaccine itself, that information is suppressed or dismissed. All of that is enough to at least make me stop and question why anyone who even questions the narrative of "everyone MUST get vaccinated" is censored or labeled a conspiracy theorist.

I've been hearing about it for quite a while now. I think there are supply issues though.

This exactly! Sorrento Therapeutics came out in May 2020 and said they had identified a cocktail of 4 antibodies that were 95-100% effective against covid 19 and they could have it commercially available quantity by Sept -Oct range and nobody in the govt gave a shite.
I just looked at their website a d they are phase 2 trialing nose drops in the UK.

We’ve known this since last year. If you’re a certain age or meet condition requirements you can go get the treatment with just a positive test. No reason so many people should still be dying “from or with” Covid when we have this.

I feel fricking cheated. I got the vaccine and all I got was another bar on my phone. If I would've waited and gotten sick and treated, I'd have been able to Force Choke a motherfricker?

Goddammit. The government fricked me over again.

Practice in a rural-ish area. Been using monoclonal antibodies since they’ve been available with great success. Continue to use them regularly - the criteria to qualify has gotten less stringent for the infusion, so using them more.

Unfortunately, some physicians and urgent care providers don’t stay up to date with treatment recommendations.

Also, the hype and “press” by all the internet “doctors” was, and is, given to hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin.

The vaccine and monoclonal antibodies and natural antibodies with booster vaccines is the way to go.

Looks like the FDA has pulled the EUA on a number of them because they are ineffective against the current variants or something.

You can find a nearby infusion center with the treatment here.

I was vaccinated but came down with COVID last Friday. Doc sent me in for the monoclonal antibody infusion on Monday. I'm a Jedi Master now.

Well...you can’t have an EUA for a vaccine or any other treatment they push if you’ve already got something established that works well.

Got a buddy who is hospitalized for Covid right now, and he’s doing the antibody thing. Rabid anti-vaxxer, but he’s willing to take these. FWIW. YMMV.

I would also check to see if Zyesami (aviptadil) is available if he doesn’t respond to the antibody treatment. Aviptadil seems to show tremendous results so far.
