Monoclonal antibodies are not highly effective and Paxlovid is not FDA approved yet (oe EUA”d).

Let me fix this for you: let all of us deal with their consequences.
- JPKab 5y agoWhere did you get the idea that monoclonal antibodies aren't highly effective? Do you have any data to back this up? They are an FDA approved, clinically proven first-line treatment for anyone with symptoms showing them at risk of hospitalization. Your statement is misinformation, scientifically inaccurate, and irresponsible. You are painting a scientifically proven and life-saving therapuetic as "not highly effective" when the data shows it absolutely is. Here's a quote from a peer reviewed study in a little blog called the New England Journal of Medicine. Maybe you've heard of it? "A total of 3 of 291 patients in the sotrovimab group (1%), as compared with 21 of 292 patients in the placebo group (7%), had disease progression leading to hospitalization (for >24 hours) for any cause or death (relative risk reduction, 85%; 97.24% confidence interval [CI], 44 to 96; P=0.002) (Table 2). The primary reasons for the 24 hospitalizations were consistent with progressive Covid-19 (Table 3), with one probable exception: 1 patient in the sotrovimab group who had a notable medical history of small-intestinal obstruction presented 22 days after infusion with a small-intestinal obstruction." https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2107934?query=featured_coronavirus https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2107934?query=fe... Hope you will stop spreading misinformation. It's not acceptable when people shit on the vaccines due to their right wing partisan echo chamber induced ignorance, and it's not helpful when people shit on effective treatments due to their left wing partisan echo chamber induced ignorance.
