re: Should JBE promote monoclonal antibodies more, like DeSantis and Abbot?

I have not heard of any pushback against the mAb infusions and I run among a few anti-vaxx tribes (lol).

not shocking that morons are inconsistent with their "beliefs"

but the pushback isn't because they are "anti-infusion", the pushback is that they wait too late because symptoms for COVID often don't worsen until 5-7 days after initial symptoms appear

I'm sure your beliefs are the paragon of truth...to you.

Their entire reason for not getting the vaccine is "im healthy, I will only have a minor case of covid"

Then when they test positive, they are having no symptoms yet or very minor symptoms, in their mind they were correct about their case so why would they go in for an infusion?

this was the fight with my parents

I think the only reason my Dad agreed to it was because my Mom having ashthma really worried him and he knew she would only get the treatment if he got it

Or they are not comfortable with the mRNA technology versus mAb technology.

It's not the only thing that's being promoted. It's being used.

But one fact does remain, the vaccine costs anywhere from $8 to $36 per dose. Monoclonal infusions cost upwards of $2K.

Stands to reason they'd be prefer, as should any responsible adult not wanting to see healthcare costs rise, for people to use prevention rather than cure.

obviously Florida and Texas are in bed with big pharma and are actively pushing the more expensive treatment to line their pockets

Because of course, they have esoteric knowledge of how each work, learned from posts coming from sock puppet accounts on facebook or random posts on message boards.

Most every colleague I discuss this issue with is referring persons with positive tests for MAB infusion and it is not really hard to find something on the list that will qualify. Problem is many flat out refuse, or just don't show up to the facility to get it done.

And BTW, where did you get the idea that the Pfizer/BNT vaccine is not the one that has FDA approval and/or is not available? Comirnaty is the trade name of the Pfizer/BNT vaccine (Covid-19 immunity, mRNA).

And yes, the vaccines will keep most everyone receiving them from admission, and for persons who like the idea of being injected with an inactivated virus with a snippet of DS DNA for the spike protein engineered into it instead of a snippet of mRNA, there is the JNJ vaccine. And just to be clear, that DS DNA once intercalated into the cell nucleus codes for, you guessed it...mRNA which then is translated into the spike protein.
