I just heard about this particular treatment a few days ago. It sounds
promising.


And in the other thread you say you won't get vaccinated. This
treatment has no more testing , probably less at this point, than the
vaccines. Go figure.


It is a well known established *FACT* that our bodies fight viruses by
developing antibodies that stop viruses from replicating.


Vaccines are given to people so they will create their own antibodies.


Yes, and the vaccines for this virus do that much
better than getting infected by the virus, so the
plasma treatment you have just discovered isnt
anywhere near as good as getting vaccinated.


Tell that to a man who nearly died.


He isnt relevant to that point.

He received the plasma treatment and the same day he began feeling better.


And if he had been vaccinated, he wouldnt
have got severe disease and so wouldnt
have needed the very expensive and risky
plasma treatment.

He'd be leaving today, but he was checked for blood clots in his legs
because he's been bed ridden for a while, and they found one.


And that wouldnt have happened if he had
been vaccinated either because he would
not have been bed ridden for a while.

So, he is staying one more day to clot bust it.


See above.

Vaccines only trigger a person's immune system to create antibodies.


Thats wrong too, they also mean that you
dont get severe disease if you get infected.

That takes time to happen.


Yes

Infusing antibodies directly into an individual at risk actually WORKS!


But vaccination WORKS much better.

Vaccines are not guaranteed to work.


Neither is that plasma treatment.
