I got Covid July 17th 2021 and got worst on July 22, 2021 and was given monoclonal antibodies infusion and started feeling better in 24 hours. I’m so grateful the doctor and nurse recommended I get monoclonal, I truly believe they saved my life…
Hey I need some help, brother just got covid First day symptoms. What exactly does he do to get this treatment?
@@nomoreoriginalnames6422 depends on where you live, in Florida it’s widely available. Just check your state and see if they are offering it, or call your doctor.
Can I ask you how bad your symptoms got before you received the monoclonal?
No early treatment protocol is criminal. The first 5 days, people should be given Ivermectin, HCQ and now Monoclonal to help reduce the viral load so the immune system can overcome the virus.
@@nomoreoriginalnames6422 be whealthy
Should be available to all regardless of conditions.
Ron DeSantis of FL opened up 21 sites so far for this early treatment to anyone free of charge, no referral necessary.
It's available to anyone in florida. Desantis made it possible. My wife was diagnosed Saturday. I was told to take it because I was exposed. Almost 10 days with me and 0 symptoms. And my wife is doing amazing
@@jglee6721 The vaccine is also free and it only costs the government $20 a dose instead of $2100 a dose.
@@jglee6721 Yeah, perfect. Should be given to EVERYONE vaccinated. If you REFUSED THE VACCINE because you B*TCHED ABOUT IT BEING EMERGENCY USE AUTHORIZED and "not fully tested", then you should be DENIED TREATMENT, because these WERE APPROVED UNDER THE EXACT SAME EMERGENCY USE AUTHORIZATION.
My mom and dad both got the monoclonal antibody infusion treatment in Florida.
I truly believe that they would not have survived the virus without it!
Which "brand" of monoclonal antibodies are used? BTW these treatments have been known & advocated for MONTHS but gov't dragged its feet. Thousands of people have died this past year for failure to provide these and other effective treatments.
I felt better hours later after my treatment! It saved my life I AM NOT KIDDING!! True miracle treatment
This should have been done in the year 2020!!
They wanted to push the vaccine. Absolutely disgusting.
Thank you for offering an alternative another way to combat Corona virus.
Fukc the jab.
Getting monoclonal tomorrow in Florida. Everyone over 12 is eligible with direct contact in the home.
I wish everyone was qualified:/ I got super sick I wasn’t hospitalized but took me a long time to get over it. I hope this will be offered to everyone so they can feel better sooner.
Should have been offered to u
It's a crime what they did to the people. Early treatments with Ivermectin, HCQ and now Monoclonal would have saved a lot of lives and spare much suffering. Reducing the viral load the first 5 days and 90% of lives would have been saved.
It’s available and there are treatment centers out there. The problem is most doctors and hospitals do not have it in their protocols to recommend it. I was lucky to go to a hospital that recommended it get it
They are now doing them in hospital. This saved my life.
Is this available in Canad
My husband received it yesterday and the next day he was so much better.
This treatment seems a lot safer than the vaccine, they should give more time to developing a safer vaccine and use this treatment in the meantime it seems?
No, not true. The monoclonals are very specific and have a, by definition, narrow spectrum. The efficacy is much lower than the vaccines. You are much better protected with vaccination. With monoclonals, you must catch the window at the beginning of an infection during which the antibodies can be effective. With an infusion, there's much, much greater chance for a secondary, bacterial infection. There's the potential damage to a vein that must be considered in an elderly patient. With the non-IV administration, you get four relatively high-volume injections, which, again, increases the chance for a secondary bacterial infection.
Good idea samrah25 ! This guy says "there were no steps skipped" ? WTF is he talking about? it usually takes 5 - 10 years HOW CAN THEY DO IT IN UNDER ONE WITH NO STEPS SKIPPED??? how about this step; Give the vaccine to the highest risk group and wait two years !? that's a very important step they "SKIPPED" what is wrong with this doctor of complacency? "Oh well you know it doesn't make sense but that's what they told me to say....I trust everyone"
Yeah I agree
They can’t make as much money using this. Only the elite knew about the EUA for this.BIG PHARMA is making big money from the vaccines why would they tell you about this. By the wayI guess they told him he had to push the vaccine so everyone would not insist on get this instead of the vaccine. What a shm
It is and it works fast
I got lucky and got the infusion on the very last day possible. Like the doctor said on the video, at first it didnt feel like I was getting better, but each day I noticed I was getting a little bit stronger and less fatigued. Wish I had taken it earlier!
I had mine in December. It was amazing! I felt so much better within 24 hours. Within 48 hours I was hungry. Then able to rest better. Energy began returning. I thank God for this infusion!
I know it helped me. I'm so thankful my Dr. "was on it" and got me in right away. I had no side effects of any kind and started feeling better right away.
I got Corona a couple of weeks ago and nobody warned me that after the first week that the second week is where the danger can occur. As I was getting better after the first few days I wasn't expecting that after a week then I started to feel worse. How come after 2 years nobody explained to me what happens with covid?
People need to talk more. It Benefits EVERYONE to dialogue, even themselves! Wake up. Let’s help one another before it’s to late. It take maturity to have adiscussion
I was positive with COVID but I got a monoclonal antibody treatment and feeling better. Still got to stay home in a week.
How long after you were better tested negative?
It’s been day 6 for me since testing positive
I'm pretty sure they have this is Florida too
It's all over Florida
They do, my daughter,son n law husband and I got it recently . Wish my sister n law could have, she passed from covid on 8/28/21
WHY ISNT IT AVAILABLE NOW 2/2022 AND IF IT IS WHERE? MY FRIEND SAID IT SAVED HER LIFE!!! I Am APPROVED FOR THIS WHY OR CAN I GET THIS ASAP?
Can we get a vid on ivermectin?
Just search on YT what is Ivermectine, video from FLCCC
Our Govenor in Florida is has released the monoclonal treatment to most counties & more to come. Sounds so promising
Yeah, perfect. Should be given to EVERYONE vaccinated. If you REFUSED THE VACCINE because you B*TCHED ABOUT IT BEING EMERGENCY USE AUTHORIZED and "not fully tested", then you should be DENIED TREATMENT with MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES, because these WERE APPROVED UNDER THE EXACT SAME EMERGENCY USE AUTHORIZATION. Exact. SAME. PROCESS.
idiots.
Biden won't allow as many treatments to go to Florida now.
It was nice to see your governor trying so hard to save lives.
Excellent news! Side effects?
They are absolutely awful! No one will tell you the truth because it is another blow to big Pharma. I regret getting them. The sides effects have been nasty. Still three weeks and feeling ill from it. Biggest regret!
the McA's work miracles, but regarding the vax, interesting how the Dr mentions how none of the VAccine study steps were skipped, when the long term studies are not due to be completed until 2022 and the report should come out in 2023.
I felt better but not I can’t smell or taste anything, it took away the body aches for the most part but I think I had a allergic reaction with my throat but it was so minor like scratching of the throat so I didn’t really notice i
Wow 70% good
Can you even get it?
Would a 68 year old male with CLL presently in Watch and Wait time be a candidate?
Yes
I have CLL and I will be 66 in November. I was diagnosed 2018 after a cholecystectomy, because my surgeon noticed enlarged lymph nodes in my abdomen. I was a Roundup user for ten years prior. I get every vaccine that I am eligible for. Get the vaccine asap before you contract the virus. I have not yet received treatment for CLL.
Yes
Yes
The only step that was skipped with the jab was complete jab testing, and seeing if people get sick over timr
Vaccines have been available for around eight or nine months now, and that was following testing that proved effectiveness. At this point, what we’re seeing in hospitals is a tsunami of people who decided against vaccination. We haven’t seen one person who was hospitalized with vaccine side effects. So pull a better or less tired excuse out of your ass.
What? What you describe is *exactly* what was done during the studies last year that led to the EUAs and now full approval. Even now, data is being gathered carefully about infections, disease, and deaths.
@@mikem6176 speaking of arse, u is 1
@@mikem6176 You have absolutely no idea what you are speaking about.
@@mikem6176 everyone I know got the shot and booster and still got Covid.
This is one of what Trump was talking about also hydroxycloriquin, ivermectin . Wow he was right again
No not this one
Can somebody help me to understand ? Should I get the vaccine, or just wait to see if I get covid and get treatment with Regeneron or the like? This is all so confusing
Regeneron isn't offered to everyone. You have to be high risk. I would get vaccinated bc there's no guarantee that you'll be offered monoclonal antibody infusion treatment if you get covid.
I m not getting the jab. Our daughter just recovered from covid in 5 days using Dr. Mccollough s protocol. She used ivermectin right away
Work on building your immune system when you won't need either
Get both if you can. They both increase the likelihood of you and your family’s safety. Vaccines is s prevention, and the antibodies are a treatment for when you do get the disease(still possible when you’re vaccinated)
Please get the vaccine. You have a better chance of being protected against severe symbol Covid-19. Regenerom has little evidence that actually works to treat Covid and as the person above mentioned you may not qualify to get the monoclonal antibodies.
How much does it cost?
$1250 approximately. Health insurance should cover.
Anywhere between 1,200-5,600
@@relaxationsoundsambience2724 Ivermectin: $30 😁😁
We have BCBS and it was covered
About $30,000
origin and the 4 inserts need to be investigated, before we think about vaccines
got diagonsed with covid, im 32 years old my bmi was high so the urgent care doctor told me i should get it done, i was worried at first due to vaccines but me having kids and family i said i need to get it done. Best choice i made, i havnt got any crazy symptoms nor fever im about 8 days in atm. Im glad this is offered to people please if offered take it , it can save your life?
If you care about your health then I hope this time you've lost weight?
I am 77 years old I live in New Port Richey where can I go for this treatment and do you have a phone number?
My mom was confirmed positive yesterday and was sent home with papers saying they will call to set up an appointment. You would think she wouldn't have to wait all weekend. Her pulse oximeter is 92%.
I got the 4 shots in the arms.. It took a day and a half to kick in!
I hate needles. Do you just need one needle 1 time to get this treatment?
So if you get antibody treatment. Does your body learn how to make the antibodies?
Yes, I think so because your body will still create its own antibodies. The monoclonal transfusion only gives your a head start.
No. You still need another 4 shot transfusion after 4 weeks be prepared to be still be isolated and wear a mask. Which you should have still been doing in the first place if not vaccinated. you still should get vaccinated that’s only 2 shots . Read the 56 pages on how the monoclonal treatment has to be administered. Lots of people change their mind and opt for vaccination. And for best results you should not be showing symptoms.
@@belindamattiace142 I'd say get the vax if you want to take your chances of not being among the over 11,000 the CDC list as deaths caused from the vax or thousands more that were harmed some very serious for life.
@@belindamattiace142 you're so full of it. I've known so many people that got this great wonderful vaccination and still had breakthrough cases. Most of them end up getting this monoclonal infusion. And the people that had covid-19 that was unvaccinated well they have no issue getting reinfected so what does that tells me. You take your vax I'll depend on my natural immunity.
My husband and I both got covid. We have not been vaxxed. We take supplements and eat healthy. I was very mild. Sick only 5 days, never a high fever, no cough, mostly a headache and fatigue. My husband has a blood disease with low white blood count. He was mild the first week too. Then felt better and started doing yard work. Bad mistake. He got worse. So he took the monoclonal infusion. He had a reaction to it, but it was a short lived reaction. He still took another week to quit running a fever, but he recovered and didn't need to be hospitalized or anything. He does have antibodies now, he has been tested.
IT "CURED" ME and 2 days!!
I just heard Governor DeSantis talking about this therapy. I wonder why the media isn’t talking about this more. Perhaps it’s because President Trump received this therapy. It’s a shame that they won’t promote something so beneficial to society just because they don’t like on person.
This is also very expensive and can't be used to treat the entire population. It is far easier to give the population a vaccine than to give everyone an infusion of this medication. How would they deliver hundreds of millions of doses of this to the population? This issue has nothing to do with Trump.
Yes. I have seen videos of him putting up monoclonal antibody centers all over Florida. I think it's great that different treatments are being made available, not just the V - A - double C, etcetera , ends with E, hahahaa
Trump also got the vaccine. It’s just his uneducated supporters that won’t get it.
They won’t make billions from this treatment as opposed to the vaccine. This was never about your health.
DeSantis has political ties to a provider of this treatment ie. Contributor to Campaign Fund
Why don’t the news preach this stuff over the vaccine is there a reason from what I see this definitively helps people better
monoclonal antibody: underated yet so effective.
ivermectin: im so overated.
It still work 😁😁
Monoclonal antibody: $1250
Ivermectin: $30
ruclips.net/video/IdEbJ8TJDkw/видео.html Israel just came out with a study on Ivermectin and it does work and much cheaper. It's not 100% so if a person still gets very sick the yes Monoclonal is a good option. And for sure the treatments is probably very costly verses Ivermectin.
monoclonal antibody: SO DAMN EXPENSIVE.
Monoclonal antibodies seem best
for everyone.
Should I get treatment even I don't have Covid?
ALL medications have side effects and contraindications. What are the side effects for monoclonal antibodies?
They are absolutely awful! No one will tell you the truth because it is another blow to big Pharma. I regret getting them. The sides effects have been nasty. Still three weeks and feeling ill from it. Biggest regret!
I felt better in 2 days
Antibodies is this available to everyone in the USA 🇺🇸
Only in FL. Other state, you have to ask your doctor.
Nope you must be high risk
Please send in the $200 extra for your monthly health insurance ASAP, otherwise consider NOT BEING SUCH AN IDIOT.
The cost of Regeneron’s two-drug cocktail is $1,250 per infusion, according to Kaiser Health News. The federal government currently covers this.
Compare this to the cost of a single dose of the COVID-19 vaccine - about $20 - which is also covered right now by the federal government.
The cost of GSK’s and Vir’s monoclonal antibody costs about $2,100 per infusion. This is covered by a combination of government payments, reimbursements, and GSK’s copay program, reports USA Today.
Sounds better that vaccine!
Yes. The doctor had to parrot the party line. Plus he is OK with the junk (mercury, anti-freeze, ....) in the vaccines because that is what he was taught and accepted in his profession.

I don’t qualify for this but if I gain 40 pounds it will put me in the category of 55 and obese .🤨

Does this antibody change your DNA?
"Impressed by the miracle of the vaccines." Annnnnd you lost all credibility. Thanks anyway.
Only 1 comments and u can't see it..., hmmmm
They admit they skipped steps!!!!!!
Agree...
What steps?
I am wondering which vaccine he is talking about.
Maxine Eubanks-Reid - it is not a vaccine, it’s a treatment.
@@nomoreoriginalnames6422 A "step" the FDA skipped for approval was they only reviewed the data up to March (around 5 months of data). There was 5 additional months (March through August) of data available on the EAU of pfizer. But they disregarded it. I believe the normal FDA approval on a drug is supposed to be 2 years of data.
Regardless of our opinions on the actual vax, this is slightly concerning.
I'm all for people opting into the vaccines, but I personally would also like to see outpatient and early treatment available to those who prefer it. They should not be left to "pay for their decisions" any more than the obese, smokers, drinkers, etc should be left to "pay for theirs".
Vacine animal trials?
Trump got it
Side effects are extremely rare. But not everyone can take it. ?
They are absolutely awful! No one will tell you the truth because it is another blow to big Pharma. I regret getting them. The sides effects have been nasty. Still three weeks and feeling ill from it. Biggest regret!
No thanks.
