What ever happened to antibody infusions from people who recovered from COVID?

I wonder if Governor DeSantis is aware of this information.

I’ve wondered the same.

They don’t do much. I had a full course of convalescent plasma therapy. Along with remdesivir and lots of steroids. The doctors say I was near death. They didn’t expect me to live.

But I held on. Maybe these treatments helped a little. Maybe they didn’t. For me, by the time I got to the hospital, the virus had already made me very ill, and the virus was already declining. It’d done its damage, but my own immune system (which is suppressed by medication) was already defeating the virus. But the question was, would I survive the damage? Obviously, I did. But it took 25 days in the hospital of my ow body slowly healing, slowly ridding me of the ‘rona pneumonia.

So, did the convalescent plasma therapy help? Or any of the other treatments? Maybe a little. But no dramatic effect.
