Scientists have devised a way to use plasma of COVID-19 survivors to inoculate people against the virus. But federal officials have twice rejected requests to discuss the idea, and pharmaceutical companies have declined to design or manufacture the shots.

to fight the pandemic. But the immunity shot proposal was rejected.

The strategy baffled Oxman and Zaia, who said the Ig shots are a far more efficient delivery system that can potentially reach many more people. Financial calculations may be another factor for companies. Intravenous plasma products are traditionally the main economic driver for the industry, supply experts said, in part because vaccines have replaced many short-term immunity shots over the years. The money-making antibodies are also far more diluted in intravenous drugs than in injectable ones, which boosts profit margins.“They charge a fortune off of intravenous drugs in the hospital.

Can teachers sign up for this? We have to go into exposure daily if we reopen. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Yet on the other hand we are told , you are not immune even if you’ve already had it .. someone needs to get their story straight .

Such bullshit

But the Feds, led by brilliant, I don't even know how to wear a mask correctly Trump, don't want to invest in it … SMDH

So we need more people to test positive!

'Could', 'would' 'should'? Is it just me😳😳🤔🤔🤔🤔😷😷😯😶

Why don’t they just inject April into everyone’s arm?

NO THANKS

Steroid costs 6 cents D3 vitamins help Try using a real mask instead of the cloth ones that are 99% ineffective against airborne viruses

Couldnt get gamma-globulina

I thought that this had already been tried in the Netherlands without success.

so if i drink the blood of a survivor im good? thanks, gonna go tell the whatsapp group

There are so many unknown molecules in donor's plasma. it is more dangerous that a virus itself, dude.

Blatant example of the ignorance perpetuated by a floundering, backward-moving president & administration who clearly can’t hit their own asses with both hands.

“Federal health officials and industry groups say therapies should focus on treating people who are already sick,... not on preventing infections...” Right. God forbid the feds work in PARALLEL. And Pharma’s not going for anything they didn’t develop/patent-not enough $$.

Trump and his cronies must not be financially invested in this inoculation process. This country really sucks.

How about letting all Americans read this article about possible life saving information?

⚠️‼️👆

Hahaha, American covidiots just rockin' with covid! Go covid! Take the arrogant land of the free,we can do wotever the fk we want fools down!

Of course. There’s no money in a cure. There’s money in keeping people sick and prolonging the disease.

God's Plants against Coronavirus! Part 1

So there's a solution, but since there is no profit in it - we have to wait for a solution that will make someone money. No wonder the youth of today hates capitalism, look at this ridiculousness.

It's only for the rich

What if masks dont work and everyone is believing they do?

Because it can't be patented and sold as a brand name product. Our profit-based healthcare system is going to kill us all.

Quick

.......The sense be youarefired ?

Not enough money in it, and Big Pharma doesn't want to have to share profits with with the people that provide plasma donation.

They are waiting until right before the election. Mark my words. Problem is 200k people will already be dead. America isn’t falling for Trump’s bologna anymore...

Why you down to the hell

Be quick,be quiet

There can't be enough money in it ....

MoxieRocker PAYWALL FOR COVID STORIES PAYWALL FOR COVID STORIES PAYWALL FOR COVID STORIES PAYWALL FOR COVID STORIES PAYWALL FOR COVID STORIES PAYWALL FOR COVID STORIES What is wrong with you I was a journalist, I support journalism, but this is public health.

This aeticle is paywalled. Shouldn't it be included with your Coronavirus coverage?

PaulSorrentino3 Sorry but if it doesn’t generate billions of dollars in profits we’re not interested, this is a free market COUNTRAY!!!

Is this about money? Most things are.

You want better protection from rona. Lose weight, eat better, exercise, build your immunity. People need to change their lives or they will fall to coronavirus or other UPCOMING diseases. Hopefully people start getting the message that fat is not beautiful. It will kill you

Once again, it comes down to money. Big Pharma won’t develop a shot to inoculate healthcare workers because they’re afraid they won’t make any money on it when/if a vaccine hits the market. And the Fed won’t compel them to do do because, well, the Fed is the Trump admin.

Why do you think the President who is 70+ years old is walking around like he’s Superman? He was inoculated with CD19 plasma.

I wish I had a billion dollars. I would make this readily available to all.

Business...

Fake news, Feds would do anything for legitimate solution!

📌

Cuz you can’t patent everyone’s plasma?

We already have masks.

Why?

HONOR ALL WHO ARE VICTIMS OF THE tRUMP CORONA VIRUS. CON REPUBLICONS KNEW ABOUT CORONA VIRUS YEARS AGO, BUT CUT THE C.D.C. & WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATIONS ACA & VACCINES. DEFEAT THE CONS BECAUSE OUR LIVES DEPEND ON GOOD GOVERNMENT. VOTE CON REPUBLICONS OUT EVERYWHERE. VOTE PROGRES

Hmmm I wonder why

This is a relatively inexpensive solution, but sociopathic bigpharma is all about profits and keeping people sick. Follow the money.

This treatment is widely used in Cuba and showed great results.

Gates runs Healthcare

It's only a paper theory, relax.

Scientists, including an 83-year-old shingles researcher and an HIV gene therapy expert, have garnered widespread support from blood and immunology specialists for an upper-arm injection that they say could protect people from the virus for months.

World Health Organization acknowledges that coronavirus can linger in the airUnder mounting pressure from scientists, the World Health Organization allowed that the coronavirus might float in the air and issued new guidelines recommending people avoid enclosed spaces with poor ventilation. It took several months to come to the same conclusion as me. But thanks for getting it WHO. We know if the virus can linger in the air and be detected, why do they have to stick a swab in the back of your throat to find it through testing?
