People should be given the best treatment. In this case the best treatment is MABs not convalescent. Do you make everything personal.

If I have a patient and MABs appropriate I will give that not convalescent plasma. When I discuss risks benefits and alternatives all would like the drug with superior efficacy instead of a weak therapy.

It has nothing to do with anything I approve or disapprove. The data are the data. MABs are highly effective. Convalescent plasma doesn’t do a whole hell of a lot. It was the first thing we had. But as with most things. We have better now.

I was never arguing about that.

I was arguing that patients and doctors should be allowed to make the decision and not be ruled by diktats from professional/career affirmative-action feral government bureaucrats/educrats.

And if somebody makes a decision once in awhile that you consider to be wrong, its the cost of freedom.

Can we at least agree on that much?
