Just vote in Biden and Covid-19 will no longer be an issue.

That’s odd, because I just heard Joe Biden say Trump haven’t done anything to fight the Covid

Nope.

Fetal stem cells were used back in the 1970's in the Netherlands to test Regeneron's effectiveness as an anti-viral treatment.

But the material used to produce Regeneron is not from fetal tissue.

293 cells have been used for decades. I used them to propagate adenovirus vectors in the 1990s. To say that they were created for coronavirus is categorically false.

I once booked a room at the holiday inn express but then ended up not needing it and they didn't even charge me a no-show booking fee. Never once had covid. Hope this helps!

RLF-100 is basically salvage therapy.


Do your research. They have an inhaler version in the works, too. It works by competitively binding to Type II cells in the lungs.

To be clear, Regeneron’s antibody cocktail wasn’t produced using any human embryonic stem cells, though it was tested with the help of line of cells that was originally derived from aborted fetal tissue more than 40 years ago. This particular cell line—which, again, was never actually in a fetus—is widely used in scientific research and has been cultured again and again over the decades.

Regeneron’s monoclonal antibody cocktail and another being made in collaboration between AstraZeneca and Vanderbilt University were developed via a technique that involves harvesting B cells from consenting adults (or laboratory mice) who had recovered from the virus, then identifying which produced antibodies are effective against it. They then injected the genes to produce those antibodies into epithelial cell lines derived from the ovaries of Chinese hamsters.

I’ve done my research and know more about it than you evidently. Covid doesn’t infect the lungs immediately, it takes time to turn into a LRTI. Any therapies specific for the lungs by default are being initiated at least a week or so after symptoms started.

Regeneron will prevent it from ever getting to the lungs.

Sure, but it works it’s way through the nasopharyngeal tract to the lungs. A nasal spray would nip this in the bud, no? If it gets to the lungs, you use the nebulizer to fight the cytokines storm, reverse inflammation, and prevent further viral replication.

Back off man, I’m a scientist.

I actually treat this

A “nasal spray” that works in the lungs isn’t going to work until the virus gets in the lungs.

I’d rather take regeneron and never get sick than get sick and take RLF100 and get better.

Fine, but how quickly can antibodies be produced?

Peptides can be synthesized rather quickly.

Somewhat, it was developed using a cell line from embryonic kidney tissue from an aborted fetus from the 1970s so Baddest's post was indeed correct. What technically makes other claims incorrect is when people say stem cells since they were already developed kidney cells.


Don't the memes also make it seem like they need a steady stream of dead babies to produce the therapy?

One of the articles I read said hamster fetal material. So who knows

Trump has cut red tape to allow companies to fast track drugs.

Not good enough until it can bring Covid victims back from the dead with permanent immunity.
