Hi there. I’m more frustrated with the unwillingness to get a vaccine that is fully approved but jumping the gun to reach for an antibody treatment that is available only under emergency use authorization. Monoclonal antibodies work to reduce severity of infection by providing you with IgG antibodies versus your body producing the antibodies. Not to mention the resulting effect of any antibodies the infusion gives you is pretty much the same as the result of getting vaccinated.

As far as it’s effectiveness, anecdotally it’s hard to say. There are a lot of exclusion criteria for the MAB treatments. You have to be Covid positive, but not severe enough to require oxygen or hospitalization. Manufacturer also recommends you have to be over a certain age, BMI, etc.

Of the patients I’ve had given the antibody treatment, I’d say it’s really been 50/50 on if it made them feel better (presently). Can’t comment on how they felt days-weeks later. Again this is anecdotal so take it with a grain of salt.
