Trump receives experimental antibody treatment

dukkha said:
When a person is infected with a germ — a coronavirus, for example — the person's immune system creates proteins called antibodies tailor-made for that specific germ. Armed with those antibodies, the immune system can recognize the enemy in case it shows up again and fight it off.

Donated plasma is infused into patients to give an immediate boost to their immune system. There is anecdotal evidence it works.

But convalescent plasma relies on the altruism of blood donors, and blood donations cannot meet the demands of a pandemic

Monoclonal antibodies are made in a laboratory, designed to mimic the natural antibodies found in the body.

"Monoclonals are a refinement" of the convalescent plasma process, Gronvall said, "mass producing it as a purified form."

Convalescent plasma contains all of a person's antibodies to a variety of pathogens, not just the coronavirus. But in the lab, scientists can pinpoint specific antibodies and then manufacture them en mass

You do not give an experimental drug to the president unless something is alarming The drug has not been approved.

This Above! The president- for sure is a Fascist Pig- and while he is also a Chauvinist Pig- he is clearly NOT a Guinea Pig.

There are many risk factors involved. For example- allergic reactions with unforeseen consequences.

And then there are always adverse reactions- For example- Their ass may suddenly grow together- Green hair starts growing under the arms ...WATERY STOOLS etc!

Too many really to recall! LOL!

Looks like an act of desperation to me. What are they not telling everyone about Trump's health condition?

Probably the first time in history that a sitting POTUS is used as a lab rat. He was supposedly taking hydroxycholroquine as a prophylactic treatment. I wonder why he isn't using it in conjunction with a fluorescent enema?

Wrong as usual. I did not say that. However, he got the drug in the Whitehouse and then had to go to the hospital. It is an unapproved, experimental drug. If it worked, would he have had to go to the hospital? His prognosis is unknown, however, he went from I have Corona, to They are giving me an experimental drug, and now they are choppering me off to Walter reed. All within a few short hours, Can you actually pretend that scenario is not alarming? Can you.?

gawd damn you are dumb.
It's using the latest therapies in order (the monoclonal) to try and beat back the viral loading before it gets worse
 
My God. I laid it out carefully. I highlited definitions and you MORONS still can't understand monoclonal antibodies

Regeneron's REGN-COV2 Antibody Cocktail Reduced Viral Levels and Improved Symptoms in Non-Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients
https://investor.regeneron.com/news...v2-antibody-cocktail-reduced-viral-levels-and
The two potent, virus-neutralizing antibodies that form REGN-COV2 bind non-competitively to the critical receptor binding domain of the virus's spike protein, which diminishes the ability of mutant viruses to escape treatment and protects against spike variants that have arisen in the human population, as detailed in Science. Preclinical studies have shown that REGN-COV2 reduced the amount of virus and associated damage in the lungs of non-human primates.

He did seem healthy walking out. Still, this experimental drug treatment on POTUS seems risky compared to conventional treatments.

Whatever it is, it's costing the taxpayer way too much to treat a tax cheating sociopathic grifter. He is so absurdly unworthy.

Kinda odd the president of the US taking experimental stuff. Am I the only one that thinks that?

That's kinda gambling a lot.

OMFG
antibodies are not "experimental" for the 19,000th time..they are fully human/
the manufacturing process is new -they are isolated from plasma and cloned
