- manwe150 5y agoAlso that vimy’s question seems to imply that vaccination blocks getting treated in the hospital with antibody therapy later. That seems obviously false, no? I assume that the effects are likely multiplicative, and not subtractive as vimy seems to be suggesting.
- manwe150 5y agoAlso perhaps too because the MAB treatment may reduce your ‘natural immunity’ benefit that vaccination-hesitant people seem to be so hyped about getting from being very ill. Versus giving the vaccines that actually do give ‘natural immunity’ to you.
- vimy 5y agoThat’s not what I implied. And also not true, vaccinated people can also get treated if they have a breakthrough infection.
- manwe150 5y agoWhat’s unclear then? We don’t have a magic 100% cure, we have a pretty good drug that works much better in combination with vaccination.
- Proven 5y agoNonsense. Many patients don't mind to pay for their treatment and there's no shortage of beds. I also don't believe that after treatment patients need to use ICU.
