BREAKING: FDA Approves Emergency Use Authorization for Regeneron Antibody Treatment for Covid-19
Townhall ^ | 11/21/2020 | Beth Baumann

The Federal Drug Administration Saturday night approved an Emergency Use Authorization for an antibody treatment President Donald Trump received shortly after being diagnosed with the Wuhan coronavirus. The manufacturer, Regeneron, received the green light for their cocktail of two antibodies – or casirivimab and imdevimab – that appear to be effective for those with mild to moderate coronavirus.

The two antibodies, referred to as monoclonal antibodies, are created in a lab and mimic the human body's natural immune system. When administered the cocktail prevents the virus from attaching to human cells.

In order to receive the treatment, a patient must be 12 years or older, weigh at least 88 pounds and are at high-risk for progressing to a severe stage of the virus. A patient cannot be hospitalized or require oxygen because of the Wuhan coronavirus.

According to the FDA, taking the antibody cocktail has shown to reduce the number of hospitalizations and emergency room visits in those who are high risk for the disease.

Regeneron will have enough doses of the cocktail for 80,000 patients by the end of November. That number will increase to 200,000 patients by the first week of January and 300,000 by the end of January, the New York Times reported.

Eli Lilly developed a similar drug and was approved for the FDA's Emergency Use Authorization earlier in the month.

The Trump administration's effort to speed up treatments and vaccines for the virus, known as Operation Warp Speed, has rolled back red tape so Americans can get the treatment they need in a timely manner.

As of now, the government has bought 300,000 doses from Eli Lilly and Regeneron, the Washington Post reported. Each dose costs between $1,250 and $1,500. How many doses each state receives will be determined based on their infection rates.

Trump said this will be provided at no cost to the patient, because none of us are responsible for the Chinese Virus coming to America.

Trump deserves a great deal of credit for all he has done during the Chinese Covid Bomb War!
Anyone who denies that President Trump and staff haven’t done an excellent job in combating this biological weapon needs their head examined or they are deep state demonrats and RINOs.
In addition, he and staff deserve credit for bringing back the economy that the deep state is now TRYING THEIR BEST TO DESTROY AGAIN.

Trump, his staff and supporters WON THE ELECTION.
No one, even 30% of Democrats KNOW THIS.
The Fraud War will be WON.

This could become great news. The Regeneron drug is not a vaccine, because it can’t elicit an antibody immune response to COVID. It’s an antibody shot. It does what your body would do if your body was immune. Until we get a vaccine people could get the Regeneron drug and not come down with COVID disease. If everyone had these shots it would stop COVID-19 in its tracks.

Unless you're stupid, you can believe this doctor in S. Calif who says he treated 1700 COVID patients and ALL except ONE stayed out of the hospital.

Or you can believe Fauci and his co-conspirators who convinced millions of borderline idiots that HCQ+Zn is dangerous.

YOUTUBE Calif. doctor successfully cures 1,700 COVID-19 patients

I am ONE of the thousands of people who was treated on this spreadsheet. The doctor on the video's information has been updated to 1900 COVID PATIENTS, one hospitalized.

It doesn't sound like much of a pandemic if $22 worth of drugs for FIVE days cures COVID-19, does it? But it can be deadly because a radical DimWIT named Fauci (and his co-conspirators) worked to hide the information about HCQ+Zn effectiveness.

Fauci had two huge reasons to push the pandemic:

1. Without a pandemic, there would NOT be mail in voting

2. By hiding an effective drug treatment, PHARMA has made $BILLIONS on selling snake oil like remdesivir. And now they have vaccines that will make $billions more.

3. And since the voting scam went over so well this time, we will continue the scamdemic to have mail in voting next election too!

You can get the Zelenko Protocol delivered to your door by using an online doctor. An online pharmacy can deliver the drugs to your door. Or those in border states with Mexico can cross the border and get HCQ over the counter but you won't be able to bring it back into the US without a prescription.
