I’m quite optimistic about this approach, both as Rx and short term pre-exposure or post-exposure prophylaxis. More thoughtful in its design than some of the vaccine candidates cnn.com/2020/06/11/hea…
Might help us navigate and manage the next couple of years until we have truly effective and safe vaccines
Hopefully we’ll keep the costs down, lots of potential for abuse given past price gouging of mabs
With our anticipated surge in Houston and Texas this would be useful to for testing here and our @TXMedCenter
Amazing to see how far this approach has progressed since I first advocated for plasma convalescent RX way back in February on my second or 3rd appearance on @NewDay, just a few weeks before the apocalypse
Like convalescent plasma, this has to be given early in the course of the illness. It means we’ll have to reconfigure the conversation or health system to provide easy access to the population, e.g. a pharmacist would give this in conjunction with a positive test or exposure
