Phase 3 trial results by biotech company Regeneron showed its new drug provides long-term protection against COVID-19, KTLA sister station KRON reported.
A single dose of the antibody cocktail reduced the risk of contracting COVID-19 by 81.6% during months 2-8, according to results released Monday. Previously published results already showed its effectiveness within one month of getting the injection.
Regeneron said none of the participants who were injected with a single dose of the ‘REGEN-COV’ antibody cocktail were hospitalized with COVID-19 during the eight-month trial run in collaboration with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
Meanwhile, six people in the placebo group were hospitalized with COVID-19, the results revealed.
“These results demonstrate that REGEN-COV has the potential to provide long-lasting immunity from SARS-CoV-2 infection, a result particularly important to those who do not respond to COVID-19 vaccines including people who are immunocompromised,” said Myron S. Cohen, M.D., who leads the monoclonal antibody efforts for the NIH-sponsored COVID Prevention Network.

My wife got the monoconal antibody treatment.
Three days later she was back on her feet and back to normal (whatever that is for her).
"REGEN-COV has the potential to provide long-lasting immunity from SARS-CoV-2 infection"
So they tested it for two to eight months? That hardly justifies a claim of "long-lasting immunity." Perhaps they jumped the shark with that one.
To me, "long-lasting" means ten years or more. Of course, I get an annual influenza shot that is good for a year, but that's only because the flu strains change so quickly throughout the year across the globe.
The MAB treatment worked for me, also.
We met a new neighbor yesterday and she was very ill from COVID. Took the Regeneron shots (hers were in the stomach and arms!) and got well quickly.
I know longer believe a word that BIG PHARMA, the CDC, the FDA have to say about anything.
They have lost all creditability with their constant lying about all things COVID-19.
It’s more effective than any vackseen. Why the mandates? Rhetorical, Farley!
So many reputations of once proud institutions have been squandered.
These are unlikely to be restored anytime soon....
It is hard for a society to function without trust.
Monoclonal antibody infusion coupled with prophylactic treatments seem like the wise choice to protect those over 30 and particularly those over 60.
But nobody listens to me, I’m just a simple-minded, horse-paste fool.
This could be very important for those of us who are immunosuppressed.
I didn’t get the mRNA jabs mainly because they’re shown to be largely ineffective for folks taking my drug regimen. I’ll ask my doctor about this when I see him next.

Research seems to indicate that the antiviral affects linger for some time, but the drug hasn't been out there long enough to determine just how long that would be.
Between this antibody cocktail and the new Pfizer therapeutic pill there is zero need for vaccine mandates. These drugs are as effective, or more, than the vaccines.
I asked my doctor what therapeutics he would prescribe if I got covid. He said the monoclonal infusion and an oral steroid. I’m fine with that except I was surprised at his intense disdain for HCQ and Ivermectin.
the numbers show the monoclonal antibodies are actually MUCH more effective than any of the “vaccines” and last longer!
research is now showing that those who have received the monoclonal antibodies are yet another group who DO NOT NEED TO BE VACCINATED AND SHOULD BE EXEMPT FROM ANY “MANDATE” IMPOSED BY ANY ORGANIZATION!
“This shot will spring you out of the ICU, if that’s where you are.”

“the EUA of the Regeneron monoclonal antibodies prohibits their use for anyone who is hospitalized.”
Well never mind then... my mistake. It is effective, however.
“Seriously effective, but it’s just an antiviral, not a vaccine.”
You aren’t using ‘antiviral’ properly. An antiviral is Tamiflu. Remdesivir is another. Regeneron is a monoclonal antibody, as you see it invariably described.
But just to be clear, it can be administered in a hospital, just not to an inpatient.
