The ultra-rich don't need a vaccine. They just get $150k stem cell injections into their neck.

  Put yourselves in their shoes: they see a blunt affirmation about a medical treatment, without any source, nor any clear term that can be easily searchable in pubmed. Since I do not doubt that you only mention a treatment you're read about in a serious peer-reviewed medecine journal, or have first-hand experience with, I completely understand how hard it must be for you to be downvoted. Maybe take the occasion to enlighten us even more next time.

Do you have some more information about this treatment? I haven’t heard about it, but that might be because I’m not in the market for $150k medical treatments :)

  GP is undoubtedly referring to the regeneron treatment: https://investor.regeneron.com/news-releases/news-release-details/regenerons-regn-cov2-antibody-cocktail-reduced-viral-levels-and/ https://investor.regeneron.com/news-releases/news-release-de...

  He might be talking about the monoclonal antibody treatment that Trump, Rudy, Chris Christie, and some others have received. They gave the president 8 grams of the stuff. His was the Regeron formulation, I'm not totally sure how much that costs. Bamlanivimab, from Eli Lily, apparently runs about $1200 a vial[0] (with a vial being 700mg), so if Trump had gotten that it would have only been in the neighborhood of $20k. And, of course, antibodies aren't made from stem cells, so I don't actually know what the poster is on about here.

I thought adrenochrome was all the rage these days.
