Drug designed to treat COVID-19 could help people heal from virus, researchers claim

[We Never Know]

Awkwardly phrased, but I get your meaning.
There are some exceptions, but generally
I want all to get vaccinated. But I don't favor
government imposition upon all.

I avoid being cagey with my advocacy.
Get vaccinated.
Wash your hands.
Wear masks indoors in close proximity to others.
I don't praise unfounded miracle cures found at Tractor Supply.
Be safe!

Did you even read it? I don't think you did.

Or you would have seen the Dr is saying along with the vaccine ...

Dr. Liu explained he is hopeful that a combination of the vaccine, Remdesivir and MPI8 will be highly effective together in keeping people from getting sick and dying from the virus.

Think again.

Think again.

The Dr is still pushing the vaccine so why are you so against it?

I wasn't.
It seems we're addressing different things.
If a new drug is effective, that's wonderful.
But let's not push horse de-wormers as Covid cure.

No one is pushing anything as cure.
Like the drug in this article isn't a cure. Its for treatment. (Like it says in the title)
No one has ever pushed anything for a cure that I've seen. But some first thought the vaccine was more or less a cure by stopping people from getting infected. We know that's wrong.
Drugs that are being developed to treat covid with proper testing should be welcomed by everyone.

I'm sure there are some dull people that would rather wait till mid next year for this possible treatment to be approved rather than do the intelligent thing and get vaccinated today.

The Dr is still recommending people to be vaccinated.
The new drug is a treatment not a cure. Meaning if you get covid it could potentially be a treatment to help you get over it better.

So why haven't you taken the Dr's advice and got the vaccine

I have took my Dr's advice. I've had covid and my Dr's advice was you have antibodies. Its up to you if you want to get vaccinated or not.

 

[Lyndon]

that's total BS, covid experts say antibodies from having covid are nowhere near as effective as the vaccine and your Dr. should know that

Its sad that you stoop to calling me and my Dr lairs.

I'd trust the CDC over some random doctor

People need to get off last years studies and get up on newer ones.

A recent study conducted by investigators from the Imperial College London, in collaboration with the University of Padova, has found that antibody levels remain high for at least 9 months after an infection with SARS-CoV-2, no matter if the individual was symptomatic or asymptomatic.

A study published in the journal Immunity found that people who recover from even mild cases of COVID-19 produce antibodies for at least 5 to 7 months and could last much longer.

Random Dr? I guess if the CDC said cut your finger off and your own personal Dr said no, you would still do it.

 

[Lyndon]

Yes and studies have shown that the vaccine produces much more antibodies than having the virus does, and a combination of having the virus and getting the vaccine gives the best protection.

Then I'll re-phrase....
"Let's not push horse de-wormers as Covid treatment when
even the manufacturer says there's no evidence that it is."
Do you have stock in Tractor Supply or Rural King?

My plan is to stick with just vaccine protection.
But I'm lazy.

Posting articles about something isn't pushing it. Its called information.
In my opinion if it was up to you everyone would be held down and forcefully given the shot. Do you have stock in Pfizer and moderna?

Just out yesterday....

Having SARS-CoV-2 once confers much greater immunity than a vaccine—but no infection parties, please

The natural immune protection that develops after a SARS-CoV-2 infection offers considerably more of a shield against the Delta variant of the pandemic coronavirus than two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, according to a large Israeli study that some scientists wish came with a “Don’t try this at home” label. The newly released data show people who once had a SARS-CoV-2 infection were much less likely than vaccinated people to get Delta, develop symptoms from it, or become hospitalized with serious COVID-19.

It's seems no one is protected from the new Delta virus. Even if double Vaccinated or have recovered from Covid. However they are at a very much lower risk of serious illness, long covid or death. Hence the very high infection rate, low hospitalisation and low death rate in the UK at this time.
They can still catch Covid and pass it on.

Posting articles about something isn't pushing it. Its called information.

Sometimes information is information, eg, the OP in this thread.
Sometimes it's misleading, eg, pushing Ivermectin, camel urine,
or bleach as Covid treatment.

If it was up to you everyone would be held down and forcefully given the shot.

Yeah...cuz that's what it means when employers
require employees to get vaccinated, or surcharge
anti-vaxers for added insurance costs. Oh, brother.

Do you have stock in Pfizer and moderna?

I don't know all the companies in my portfolio.
Delta & CVS are there. I think Ford was sold.
Others....I haven't a clue.
