@pitdakota -
First, thank you for bringing this topic up again. It can never be reviewed too often!
These antibodies were given to every 50 states. So it wasn't actually a lack of the antibody but how each state distributed them or not or were not able to. Or hospitals saying they didn't have staff so refused them etc.
Or not enough places to do the infusing or even not understanding how and when to do them.
Just like the vaccines, it was the organization and lack of and so many other reasons that the antibodies were not utilized like they could have been.Or not distributed in the best way in the state. The doctors and scientists who gave these antibodies were shocked that many were just sitting there not being used.
This info is from many sites regarding this. It is another frustrating and disappointing way of how many more could have been saved.So there may have been shortages due to how each state handled the antibodies but when they were given out they were there and available.
There were no instructions really how and who and where to give these to, just like no national instruction on any ways to deal with the virus or vaccines until recently.
It was surprising how many doctors and nurses we dealt with who had wrong information about these antibodies saying oh only very ill people in the hospital could get them or they weren't available and many more misunderstandings.Everyone we talked to from drs to people anywhere thought these were only available if you were a president or someone like that.
I'm just incredibly grateful that we were able to get these for our mother despite the assisted living she was in. All because of an up to date doctor.
Everyone reading this thread or others, make sure you tell your friends, your family, anyone who has just been diagnosed with covd, and has mild to moderate symptoms and has underlying health issues, or over 65. Tell them about these. Help them find the infusion centers in your own state. Contact their Primary Care doctor. These can safe lives.
That is the important part of all this.
Already we've been able to tell many friends about this who have used this for their mother or someone.
To compare, it is just like millions of vaccines are given to a state. They set up these mass vaccination sites in larger cities. Then there are 100 or none in a small city. So no available vaccines in that county or city that day or always undersupplied.
Poor distribution and lack of organization.All the more frustrating because there were enough vaccines to go around, just not handed out evenly to all. Many states are now trying to improve this.
