It not a simple treatment and not widely available without connections.

Well, maybe not. This is the same bunch that takes Medicare then tells about government in medical care.

(1,823 posts)It is definitely much more widely available in some areas than others as of now but given its high degree of success it should continue to increase.
Note that not everyone is a candidate- right now you have to be considered high risk (obesity qualifies though so many of us can get in that way), and there are other things like your blood ox level cant be below a certain percentage. Its an EARLY Covid treatment, not for later stages.

Abbott has told people he received a third booster dose of a vaccine, two sources said. Abbott's office did not respond to a request for comment about a booster shot. Except for people with compromised immune systems, booster shots have not been authorized by the Food and Drug Administration, although the Biden administration is expected to announce a program to administer them soon.
In addition, it was not proper for Greg to get monoclonal antibodies when he had no symptoms.
