Since you brought up this topic VB/windy/hazel I'm curious as to why you're seemingly "ok" with and excited about an antibody infusion, which by the way is NOT FDA approved and only has emergency authorization, but yet you have yourself twisted in knots over the vaccine. Seems odd that you refuse to get the vaccine because of the "potential dangers" but yet you wouldn't have a problem infusing a non-FDA approved chemical treatment into your body instead. You seem confused.

Where did I ever say I would get this? I asked a simple question that you are now twisting around to make it sound like I am upset that I can't have it unless I get covid.

Your words.
---------------------------------

"Why is NY not pushing this for people without covid? I am hearing it works wonders for people WITH covid (know someone who just did it who had covid) but in FL you can get it without having covid.

We are pushing the vaccine here more than we are pushing this treatment it seems."
-----------------------------------

So you're not ok with a now FDA approved vaccine (Pfizer) being pushed but you feel that instead they should be pushing a NON-FDA approved antibody infusion?

Gotcha. Makes perfect sense.

I am ok with anything that will help others get better and/or not get sick in the first place.

Never said I would do this or get the vaccine nor said if I ever had it or have gotten the vaccine. All assumptions on your part.

You don't like the fact that you are wrong and trying to push it back on me.

Wrong about what exactly? You don't seem to understand what the monoclonal treatment actually is, how it's used or that it's not even FDA approved. I actually had COVID and spoke with my doctor about it at the time so unlike you, I actually do know what I am talking about.

That aside, it's odd to me that you're "ok with anything that will help others get better and/or not get sick in the first place" but at the same time you're very much anti COVID vaccine. So weird seeing as how the vaccine is a PREVENTIVE treatment which helps people to avoid severe COVID illness, hospitalization and possible death so if you are "ok with anything that will help people not get sick" it makes NO sense to be completely against the vaccine.

The monoclonal antibodies do not PREVENT a person from getting COVID, they are a treatment for high risk individuals once they are already ill. And again, for someone who has been hell bent on vaccines being given before they were FDA approved I am not understanding how you're "ok" with giving people an experimental non-FDA approved infusion of antibodies.

Your logic doesn't make sense. You seem to waiver both ways.

I know exactly what the is treatment is. I never said otherwise.

You don't believe though that any place might do this treatment without having covid or being exposed to covid.

Honestly, it really doesn't matter. You're the Queen of Deflection and it's obvious, yet again, that you simply read a headline and quickly ran on here to start a thread without really understanding what you're speaking about. Typical.

Enjoy this fantastic day!

Re: Monoclonal Antibody Treatment

Re: Monoclonal Antibody Treatment

Do you have to be high risk? I know someone who is in her 40s and not high risk that I know of and just got this treatment at a hospital in Long Island. She was pretty sick (not sick enough to be hospitalised) and called her doctor and he set it up for her. She was fully vaccinated in April with J&J so I would think if the treatment were being reserved for special high risk she wouldn’t have gotten jt

Re: Monoclonal Antibody Treatment

Re: Monoclonal Antibody Treatment

Also FYI this is from the article I posted as well:

"The FDA has recently expanded what it means to be high-risk for severe COVID-19, Fales says. Many more people now may qualify for monoclonal antibodies, including those with high blood pressure, heart disease, a body mass index (BMI) higher than 30, an autoimmune disorder, people taking immunosuppressant drugs, and people who are pregnant."

So there are a lot of things that could have made your friend high risk without you knowing it...

Monoclonal Antibody Treatment

Windy: did your friend regret not getting the vaccine? Wondering how they reconcile being concerned about a newer vaccine (which I totally get) but then resorting to this experimental treatment? How did they respond to this treatment?

And I’m just assuming they weren’t vaccinated because it seems this experimental treatment that isn’t fully approved by the FDA is for those mainly who were unvaccinated.

Why is NY not pushing this for people without covid? I am hearing it works wonders for people WITH covid (know someone who just did it who had covid) but in FL you can get it without having covid.

We are pushing the vaccine here more than we are pushing this treatment it seems.

That's not true. You have to be sick to receive the treatment, even in FL.

Antibody treatment


More than a dozen state-run centers have opened across Florida offering free monoclonal antibody treatment to people sick with COVID-19 and considered to be high risk for severe illness or death.

Often, people who visit these centers feel really sick. The therapy given to them — REGEN-COV by the biotechnology company Regeneron — is designed to give the immune system an extra boost to help combat the disease, enough to hopefully keep them out of the hospital.
----------------
The treatment is for people 12 and older, regardless of vaccination status, who have tested positive and are considered to be “high risk” for severe COVID illness, including hospitalization and death. High-risk people 12 and older who were exposed to COVID and are either not fully vaccinated or have an immunocompromised condition that has lowered their immune response to the vaccine are also eligible.

Some of the conditions the FDA considers to be high risk include diabetes, obesity, chronic lung disease (including moderate to severe asthma), and cardiovascular disease (including congenital heart disease) or hypertension.

Not true I was just talking to my gf in FL this morning and she got it and has not had covid and is not high risk.

Then she lied to get it or is lying to you. The requirements for receiving the treatment are you're positive for COVID and high risk. Ask any doctor and read any article on the treatment being given in FL. You're spreading misinformation. Period.

ETA - When I had COVID I spoke with my dr about the treatment. Antibodies are NOT be given to anyone who isn't currently sick with COVID or high risk. It's not a preventive drug, it's a treatment to help those already sick and at risk for hospitalization.

Here it is - you clearly state you have to be POSITVE FOR COVID AND HIGH RISK. But actually you just need to be exposed to covid and high risk. Perhaps for whatever reason her friend is considered high risk or perhaps doctors are actually just giving it for exposure now without widespread publicity. She already said her friend was exposed. Why are you accusing her of spreading misinformation without doing a simple google search?

My primary specifically said they will not give the treatment simply for exposure. If you test positive and fall into the high risk category they will consider giving the monoclonal antibodies should you become very ill, they monitor you to see how your COVID is progressing. In my case, because I was getting better on my own by day 7ish, he felt it was unnecessary for me to have the treatment despite my underlying issue.

I'm sure there are doctors who don't give a cr@p about following any protocol and simply give it to anyone but it's technically not the right way to go about it.

But you had Covid in May and when I checked my calendar this morning it is now September. Before you accuse someone of spreading misinformation about a constantly changing topic, perhaps you should consider doing a quick google search. Clearly the guidance on Monoclonal Antibody Treatment has changed. The same way the guidance on the TWO SHOT VACCINE is not that at a minimum it is probably a THREE SHOT VACCINE. Elderly people are already lining up for the third shot. And it's not the same as an annual flu shot because they change the flu shot based on the different strains of the flu. This is the exact same shot we got the last time. So now it's a THREE SHOT VACCINE. okay I am done. Carry on.

VB said it was being given to perfectly healthy people in FL. It is not. You also have to fall into the high risk category to have the treatment, even in FL. A simple Google search would've told her that too.

P. S. It's not a three shot vaccine for most. It's still a two shot if you get Moderna or Pfizer. A third shot is being given to those why are severely immunocompromised and didn't build up enough of a response after the two shots. The rest of us will need a booster at some point down the road as was always expected from the get go.

But carry on.

High Risk does not equal UNHEALTHY. Her friend is healthy, that does not mean she doesn't have any underlying issues.

And it will be a three shot vaccine for all soon. and a booster for the same vaccine makes it a three shot vaccine. The Varicella vaccine is two shots - they are done over the course of 4 years. It is still a two dose vaccine. God you just can not admit when you are wrong.

Often, people who visit these centers feel really sick. The therapy given to them — REGEN-COV by the biotechnology company Regeneron — is designed to give the immune system an extra boost to help combat the disease, enough to hopefully keep them out of the hospital.

The treatment is for people 12 and older, regardless of vaccination status, who have tested positive and are considered to be “high risk” for severe COVID illness, including hospitalization and death. High-risk people 12 and older who were exposed to COVID and are either not fully vaccinated or have an immunocompromised condition that has lowered their immune response to the vaccine are also eligible.

Some of the conditions the FDA considers to be high risk include diabetes, obesity, chronic lung disease (including moderate to severe asthma), and cardiovascular disease (including congenital heart disease) or hypertension.

Not true I was just talking to my gf in FL this morning and she got it and has not had covid and is not high risk.

Then she lied to get it or is lying to you. The requirements for receiving the treatment are you're positive for COVID and high risk. Ask any doctor and read any article on the treatment being given in FL. You're spreading misinformation. Period.

ETA - When I had COVID I spoke with my dr about the treatment. Antibodies are NOT be given to anyone who isn't currently sick with COVID or high risk. It's not a preventive drug, it's a treatment to help those already sick and at risk for hospitalization.

Here it is - you clearly state you have to be POSITVE FOR COVID AND HIGH RISK. But actually you just need to be exposed to covid and high risk. Perhaps for whatever reason her friend is considered high risk or perhaps doctors are actually just giving it for exposure now without widespread publicity. She already said her friend was exposed. Why are you accusing her of spreading misinformation without doing a simple google search?

My primary specifically said they will not give the treatment simply for exposure. If you test positive and fall into the high risk category they will consider giving the monoclonal antibodies should you become very ill, they monitor you to see how your COVID is progressing. In my case, because I was getting better on my own by day 7ish, he felt it was unnecessary for me to have the treatment despite my underlying issue.

I'm sure there are doctors who don't give a cr@p about following any protocol and simply give it to anyone but it's technically not the right way to go about it.

But you had Covid in May and when I checked my calendar this morning it is now September. Before you accuse someone of spreading misinformation about a constantly changing topic, perhaps you should consider doing a quick google search. Clearly the guidance on Monoclonal Antibody Treatment has changed. The same way the guidance on the TWO SHOT VACCINE is not that at a minimum it is probably a THREE SHOT VACCINE. Elderly people are already lining up for the third shot. And it's not the same as an annual flu shot because they change the flu shot based on the different strains of the flu. This is the exact same shot we got the last time. So now it's a THREE SHOT VACCINE. okay I am done. Carry on.

VB said it was being given to perfectly healthy people in FL. It is not. You also have to fall into the high risk category to have the treatment, even in FL. A simple Google search would've told her that too.

P. S. It's not a three shot vaccine for most. It's still a two shot if you get Moderna or Pfizer. A third shot is being given to those why are severely immunocompromised and didn't build up enough of a response after the two shots. The rest of us will need a booster at some point down the road as was always expected from the get go.

But carry on.

High Risk does not equal UNHEALTHY. Her friend is healthy, that does not mean she doesn't have any underlying issues.

And it will be a three shot vaccine for all soon. and a booster for the same vaccine makes it a three shot vaccine. The Varicella vaccine is two shots - they are done over the course of 4 years. It is still a two dose vaccine. God you just can not admit when you are wrong.

Nothing I've said is wrong. Enjoy your day.

You clearly said you had to be HAVE COVID AND BE HIGH RISK. That is not true. Please admit that you wrote that and it's not true. You just need to be high risk and EXPOSED. OMG

Good luck with her admitting she is wrong. I don't think she has EVER done that, at least on this board. She just will tell you to have a good day so take that as she is wrong and that is her admittal.
