What’s The Cost Of Regeneron CV-19 monoclonal antibody treatment?
The treatment is known to decrease COVID-19 hospitalizations and has been used to treat former President Donald Trump and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (pictured).
On Tuesday, Gov. Greg Abbott confirmed he has tested positive for COVID-19. His office said that he is isolating at the Governor’s Mansion and that he is receiving the Regeneron monoclonal antibody treatment.
The news has brought up several questions for KVUE viewers and social media users: What is the treatment? Can anyone infected with COVID-19 receive it? How much does it cost?
The Regeneron COVID-19 monoclonal antibody treatment is a combination of two antibodies given to patients through an IV, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The FDA issued an emergency use authorization of the treatment in November 2020.
It’s known to help those who get the virus by decreasing the chances of hospitalization by 80% using the two antibodies, casirivimab and imdevimab, which work together to fight off the virus.
The treatment is intended for anyone infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, regardless of vaccination status and is typically used within 10 days of developing COVID-19 symptoms.
In addition to Gov. Greg Abbott, at least one other high-profile politician has utilized the treatment: It was used to treat former President Donald Trump when he was hospitalized with COVID-19 in 2020.
But due to how long and strenuous the manufacturing process is, there aren’t as many treatments accessible to the average American.
According to the New York Times, doses of the treatment are available for free, but some patients could pay a fee for administering the drug. It’s up to insurance coverage and health care providers.
As of January, the federal government ordered 1.5 million doses of the drug from Regeneron and shipped out nearly 300,000 of those. But it’s unclear how many treatments have been given to patients. Hospitals may be prioritizing vaccines, run out of the monoclonal treatment or administer the treatment sparingly due to lack of doses, according to the Times.
Texans interested in getting the treatment can call the 24-hour State Infusion Hotline at 1-800-742-5990 or use the National Infusion Center Association locator tool.
Gov. Abbott’s office released the following statement on Thursday:
“Gov. Abbott’s doctor prescribed Regeneron’s monoclonal antibody therapy treatment, which is available at no cost to all Texans who get a doctor’s referral. It is recommended that Texans testing positive for COVID-19 seek this antibody therapeutic drug because of its effectiveness to help keep people out of hospitals.
Today, the governor announced the continued expansion of COVID-19 Antibody Infusion Centers across Texas. That is in addition to more than 140 providers that are providing antibody treatment at hospitals and clinics across the state.”

So, how do you verify that say, Guanold Dump actually used Regeneron and such, considering the conveniently projections in media and his “miraculous” recovery from a non-existent supposed issue? Other than that, he’s peddled an enormous amount of pharma.
Pharma monoclonal antibodies are all worthless, damaging and super expensive.

It’s hilarious that people don’t seem to understand that what Guanold Dump projected as his “worth” is actually his debt. That’s why he’s so malleable and flexible, conducive to bribes and fraud, laundering.
Basically, all of the billions you were told to think he is, is what he owes, it’s factually debt. And that’s why he was placed in that position. It’s just amazing to me that people don’t understand that.

Don’t you get it, your whole environment you know nothing about. The most important aspects that enables your anything, ignored. While you read “scripture”…you know, like “legalese”, “history” and other varied forms of institutional scripture. Including the bible, btw.

Do you remember this thing?
Tell me, how much do you know about any of the plants around you?
I planted them there. They’re monitoring you. And even more fundamentally, I have walls made of silica, as your best friend.
All of pharma is fraudulent degenerate garbage and there are better alternatives, very obvious, though ignored, demonized without profit notice and they happen to be essential for life.

The notice being, the more you need to advertise, the less you’re worth. Inherently less worth.
I guess that’s why I’m worthless.

I agree with Mr. Dillan. These comments – all with the same name – make a mockery of this website, which is inappropriate.

So, what is the cost???? If patient can get it at “no cost”, it does not mean that pharma.corp didn’t charge for it. So, how much???? Based on the title of the article, you would assume, it will answer the question…
I cannot believe, they still call it “journalism” these days. Pathetic. Trash.
And then that Slandermen…. Wow…

Prices typically range from around $1000 to maybe as high as $5000 per treatment.
But you see, pharma and the FED, along with your politicians have a nice little laundering and associated racketeering scheme. So they might say “Oh it’s free”. Except you pay for it with tax money,, at the very least, and there might be other costs associated. It could easily be inflated costs, too.

Most importantly though, they’re unnecessary and can be incredibly toxic.

Yes, I know, I’m amazing.
But not as amazing as the worthlessness of monoclonal antibody prices!
https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/health/monoclonal-antibodies-could-fill-the-covid-19-treatment-gap-until-vaccines-arrive-but-at-a-cost/
“The median cost for a year of treatment ranges from $15,000 to more than $140,000, according to the report by the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative and the British philanthropy Wellcome.”
And it’s so apt that it lists two absolutely worthless genocidal institutions in that exerpt.

The best part of it, of course, that it’s to address a fraudulent construct, merely a name (that of “covid”) and doesn’t address your health status.

Sorry, just gonna leave this link here so that you can get a general idea of what’s being peddled (super toxic unnecessary expensive worthless garbage).
It’s a list of some side-effects associated with approved monoclonal antibody drugs, so that you can get an idea of the sort horseshit they’re marketing:

Fair enough on the whole side effect thing. But almost every med their has ever been has some pretty scarey side effects for some small percentage of the population. For that matter so does almost every food ,natural herb treatment, peanut butter ,bee sting, etc etc

Well it’s unnecessary crap for racketerring and laundering, specifically to take advantage of very toxified (usually medications) people, btw. Those so toxified that antibody response mechanisms are suppressed.
So then, they’re given monoclonal antibodies, from GMO toxified mice, btw.

I have a fair idea about the stupidity and fraud associated with that sort of shit, btw. Researched quite a bit, have a reasonable understanding these processes. My sister worked (B&M gates funded) on related stuff, humanized mice and vaccines (TB, HIV).

All this Expensive Toxic Tripe…when the Hoax c19 Terror Campaign let the entire Cat outta the Bag!
IVM, HCQ/Zinc & Fenbendazole all are cheap proven Cancer, Flu & common cold killers. And may go well beyond that.
We’re also on the edge of a complete revaluation of Medicine and the corruption undermining it for well over a Century
