EXPOSED: The Top Five Lies about Monoclonal Antibody Treatment

A New York Times article tells numerous lies about monoclonal antibody treatments. RAIR Foundation USA tackles them here.

The Biden team and their mainstream media allies are floundering for an approved narrative in the wake of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ incredible success with statewide outpatient clinics offering monoclonal antibody treatment.

Coronavirus emergency room visits have declined over 70% in the past month in the state of Florida, as 100,000 residents received the treatment. Now, the Biden team is deliberately withholding the same monoclonal antibody treatment that they ignored from October, 2020 to August, 2021 in an obvious cynical maneuver to punish a political opponent, no matter the human cost.

*Scroll Down to go right to the lies (in RED).

An Amazing Short Political History of Monoclonal Antibodies

In October 2020, President Donald Trump became ill with the coronavirus. He took monoclonal antibodies – which were not yet authorized for emergency use – and had a miraculous recovery. “I think this was a blessing from God that I caught it,” the president said on his since-deleted Twitter feed, referring to how his recovery exposed him to the effectiveness of Regeneron’s monoclonal antibodies.

It is stunning that the President of the United States was forced to take a “compassionate use” treatment that effectively cured him. The president’s recovery was so profound that he vowed to make monoclonal antibodies freely available to everyone in America.

Watch this summary from USA Today:

At the time, the New York Times mocked the president for touting the treatment and quoted Dr. Peter Chin-Hong, an infectious disease specialist at U.C.S.F. Health in San Francisco, as stating that “there was ‘one million percent no’ chance that the Regeneron treatment could have cured Mr. Trump in 24 hours, as the president claimed.”

The Biden Team Withholds Monoclonal Antibody Treatment

From October 2020 to August 2021, the left downplayed and ignored monoclonal antibody treatment. In August 2021, Governor Ron DeSantis opened wildly successful monoclonal antibody clinics in the state of Florida. Needless to say, the left is no longer ignoring the life-saving treatment.

On September 3rd, Texas physician James Jackson, MD warned that the federal government sent doctors a letter stating that they would be restricting monoclonal antibody distribution.

Dr. Jackson tweeted in part:

Before I could just order as much as we needed and they shipped it next day air. Now a govt. commission will decide when, if, and how much I will be able to get for my pts.

The letter to doctors, Dr. Jackson said, specifically targeted “low vaccination rate” areas. In contrast, the physician pointed out that the official statement from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) was “notably missing the verbiage about the ‘low vaccination rate areas.'”

Dr. Jackson provided the letter:

Compare with the verbiage of the public statement:

Interestingly, the White House website still falsely states that the Biden team “will increase the average weekly pace of shipments of free monoclonal antibody treatment to states by a further 50% in September, continuing to accelerate the federal government’s efforts to deliver lifesaving COVID-19 treatment.”

Watch Joe Biden’s statement from September 9, 2021 (as tweeted by nationally syndicated columnist Phil Kerpen):

The Biden team again, is blatantly lying.

The New York Times’ Shocking Lies about Monoclonal Antibodies

Fast forward a few weeks and one can see the narratives gelling in a boldly deceptive New York Times article titled “They Shunned Covid Vaccines but Embraced Antibody Treatment”. Author Benjamin Mueller spews so many lies that it is difficult to wade through them all.

Lie #1: Monoclonal Antibodies are only used by Unvaccinated People

In what has become a wide-spread leftist falsehood, Mueller denigrates monoclonal antibody treatment as being embraced by “vaccine-resistant Americans”. In fact, fully vaccinated patients have been found to comprise the majority of those treated in Florida’s Broward County, which also happens to be a democrat area.

As reported at RAIR Foundation USA, fully vaccinated citizens of Florida’s second-most populous county account for 52 percent – a majority – of those receiving monoclonal antibody treatment. Therefore, the author’s entire premise – that monoclonal antibodies are the treatment of choice for unvaccinated individuals – is inaccurate.

Lie #2: Monoclonal Antibodies are ‘Experimental’

A reporter focused on “science and medicine,” author Benjamin Mueller incorrectly states that monoclonal antibodies are “a year-old, laboratory-created drug no less experimental than the vaccine”. The latest smear against monoclonal antibody treatment is that it is “experimental” when in fact it was used in treating Ebola.

The author here also compares monoclonal antibodies to the mRNA vaccine, which was used in clinical trials, but has never been produced for human use before the coronavirus pandemic.

Lie #3: Monoclonal Antibodies Treatments are ‘Lengthy Infusions’

New York Times author Benjamin Mueller laments:

Vaccine-resistant Americans are turning to the treatment with a zeal that has, at times, mystified their doctors, chasing down lengthy infusions after rejecting vaccines that cost one-hundredth as much.

Here, Mueller again deliberately deceives his readers. As discussed in detail at RAIR, monoclonal antibody treatment is not only given via infusion, but given in Florida’s clinics via four injections.

The entire process takes about an hour and a half.

The Northeast Georgia Health System explains it well:

COVID-19 monoclonal antibodies are given through a series of four injections — all given back-to-back during the same visit — either in your abdomen, back of the arm or thigh. The COVID-19 monoclonal antibodies in these injections begin mimicking the body’s immune responses to fight COVID-19 right away. It’s relatively pain-free and uses a smaller needle – similar to an insulin injection. The treatment requires a 1-hour observation period, so it’s best to plan for about a 1.5-hour appointment.

Despite the newfound interest in fiscal responsibility, it should be noted that hospitals are treating desperately ill coronavirus patients with the useless, tax-payer funded drug remdesivir, which costs “$3120 per patient for a typical treatment course”.

Lie #4: There is a Monoclonal Antibody Shortage

Mueller claims that “waning federal supplies and soaring demand from less-vaccinated Southern states have caused what several states have described as large shortfalls in deliveries.” The federal government is not making the claim that there is a shortage, only that they are controlling the distribution process for the purpose of “equity.”

There is zero evidence of a shortage, aside from the one created by the federal government.

Lie #5: The Vaccine Takes Away the Need for Monoclonal Antibodies

Mueller states: “Doctors have warned that antibody treatments alone cannot keep pace with ballooning outbreaks.” Mueller does not mention any of these doctors by name. Who, specifically, is suggesting that monoclonal antibodies should replace vaccines?

Leftist propagandists constantly imply that the vaccine is a treatment. Scream this from the rooftops: The vaccine is not a treatment for the coronavirus. Monoclonal antibody treatment is available to those who are exposed to, or contract the coronavirus, vaccinated or not.

Conflating the Vaccine with Coronavirus Treatment

The conflating of monoclonal antibody treatment with the mRNA vaccine is evident again when Mueller continues: “Whereas any one vaccination protects untold others from exposure, a single infusion only helps a single patient.” Mueller does not address how the vaccine would help the many people who suffer from breakthrough cases, i.e., coronavirus positive diagnoses in those who are fully vaccinated.

Even today, a Google search for “treatment for covid 19” neglects to mention monoclonal antibody treatment. The only “treatment” for the coronavirus is listed as “Get vaccinated:”

The left-wing establishment has been incredibly resistant to natural immunity, prophylaxes or treatment for the coronavirus, opting instead for a relentless, obsessive pushing of the coronavirus vaccine.

  • These are three quotes from the Regeneron website:
    “REGEN-COV is an investigational medicine.”

    “REGEN-COV is investigational because it is still being studied. There is limited information known about the safety and effectiveness of using REGEN-COV to treat people with COVID-19 or to prevent COVID-19 in people who are at high risk of being exposed to someone who is infected with SARS-CoV-2.”

    “It is possible that REGEN-COV could interfere with your body’s own ability to fight off a future infection of SARS-CoV-2.”

    Based on just these three, why would anyone want to take it?

    • Because it’s still better than the mRNA vaccine. It’s interesting that they are honest enough to mention the risk of OAS though.

      Unlike the ‘vaccine’ companies and their lackeys in gov

  • I just received the monoclonal antibody treatment on Monday. I went from praying it would work to thanking God it WORKED! In just two hours. The left has got to stop politicizing this disease. Let our thousands of trained doctors try any idea that they may have until they kill more patients faster than the vaccine is. Stop handcuffing our doctors by mandating a single experimental vaccine over everything else. Mandating IS by definition politicizing this illness. Let our doctors be leaders in solving thus crisis not scared followers. Our doctors are afraid to try anything even though they know the can help. The left is hoping many more will die because of their misguided stance on global warming. If the left would just spend their time making a few extra dollars and replace a light build with an led bulb or adding some insulation instead of constantly blaming others get off your butts and be part of the solution. A single vaccine is not the solution but free enterprise allowing multiple ideas will always arrive at the solution the fastest. If you have Covid do what ever it takes to get the monoclonal antibody treatment. If anyone tries to stop you they are your enemy for now. Get the treatment then scold them into submitting after it works. The Left damn near killed me with all their political bs but now I have been awakened to a new reality the left is nothing more than a satanic cult hell bent on destroying everything it touches. I have ignored their stupid ideological rants for way too long now I will be in their face shouting them down instead of the other way around.
