I genuinely hope your mom recovers with no issues.
But you heavily criticized me for not taking a toddler to get monoclonal antibodies and for suggesting everyone who tests positive shouldn’t rush out for treatment.
You’re welcome for not unnecessarily clogging the lane to treatment for people who might really need it.

No BS....I am currently waiting in the Rayne Civic Center to get a free infusion from La Dept of Health.

Around here it seems to depend on who the Dr works for. People seem to have better luck getting what they want with small solo practices, or Drs n a privately owned group, they do whatever they want. The docs that work for hospital owned physicians groups seem to have their hands tied as to what treatments they can offer, and under what conditions.

Antibody treatment is free, the federal government is providing all the medicine to the providers directly and the patient does not pay for the medicine itself. Providers may bill your insurer for a facility charge if they have a negotiated rate, but the patient pays nothing for the treatment.

So we don't trust the FDA-approved vaccines, but we trust the FDA-approved monoclonal antibody treatments? Just trying to keep up over here.
And someone let me know if we trust the FDA-approved antiviral treatments. TIA.

MAB from my understanding and reading has been around since the 80s. Ant say the same for the shots or newly “approved” treatments.

Does insurance cover that stuff yet, or is it still $1200 a pop, private pay?

My mom got tested at the Hospital it was positive and they scheduled her to come back the next day for the infusion.

Currently available monoclonal antibody treatments unlikely to be effective against Omicron Circulating SARS-CoV-2 viral variants, including Omicron, are likely to be associated with resistance to widely available monoclonal antibody treatments, including bamlanivimab and etesevimab administered together or REGEN-COV based on in vitro data. However, sotrovimab appears to retain activity against the Omicron variant based on the same data but supplies are currently limited. Therefore, any further allocations of bamlanivimab and etesevimab together, etesevimab alone, and REGEN-COV are paused pending updated data from the CDC. Nationwide shipments of sotrovimab have resumed, and delivery of 55,000 doses of product has begun. An additional 300,000 doses of sotrovimab will be available for distribution in January, including shipments to Alabama.
That was in an email from the Medical Association of AL.
We shut down our infusions at UAB until we get the right one. This was based off the amount of Omicron we have here.

I actually just came off of the IV about 10 minutes ago. Sitting in observation now. In MS, all you have to do is present a positive covid test and go to one of the clinics that provides them. I just called the number that was on the MS Dept of Health website and they got me headed in the right direction.

Monoclonal treatment is solely outpatient. Once admitted no way to get it based my elderly fathers recent experience. The hospital told him they had “better stuff”.

So if you're only going by "how long has it been around/in development" to determine what is a good pharmaceutical, you'd still lose. mRNA vaccines have been around since the 60s.
But beyond that neither was adapted for covid, because obviously covid didn't exist until recently. But I prefer to go by actual efficacy and data in placebo-controlled clinical trials and the reviews of the FDA.
It's just funny to me how the logic of a lot of people on this board is so inconsistent. With the vaccines it's "the FDA is corrupt, follow the money", but with MAB and antivirals, since they like those it's gonna be "they're great, and are super easy to get/take". Pharma companies developed all of them, ran all the trials, and the same FDA reviewed and approved all of them.

What I’ve been trying to tell y’all is that there has been a coordinated message among most of the hospitals in the south as of today that they are going to stop the antibodies.
Why?
All these hospitals found out the same day it isn’t working?
And who is dying? Because that’s the definition of not working. How can you say it’s not working if people aren’t dying?

Umm. You have to be an outpatient to get it.

Because they can do tests to measure response of a particular therapy. It's not hard.
But I guess a question for you...what, exactly, are you suggesting? That the deep state has infiltrated all the hospitals there to put the kibosh on an effective treatment so that more people will die and therefore that will lead to more people getting vaccinated?
I laugh, but with some of you that absurdity would be delivered with a straight face.
