Three Long-term Long COVID Patients – Three Rapid Recoveries: The Monoclonal Antibodies Strike Again!

Last week, in “Exploring the Effects of Pemivibart Monoclonal Antibody Infusion in Long COVID: A Case Series Offering Initial Clinical Insights“, John Baratta’s team at the University of North Carolina’s COVID clinic reported on another three long-COVID patients who underwent dramatic recoveries after receiving a different monoclonal antibody.
The drug used, Pemivibart or Pemgarda, is not FDA-approved for any use but can be used in people who are immunocompromised in certain situations. Like other monoclonal antibodies, Pemgarda binds to the viral protein that latches onto cell cell, thereby preventing viral entry. Pemgarda appears to able to neutralize a wide range of Omicron-lineage coronavirus variants.

Monoclonal Antibody Field Heats Up
“We believe that monoclonal antibodies are key to managing the ongoing burden of endemic COVID-19 disease in all forms.” Marc Elia, Invivyd

Monoclonal antibodies appear to be a growth field. Betsy Ladyzhets reported that a Pemgarda LC trial is underway and Invivyd, whose motto is “Tenaciously Working to Fight Viral Threats“, recently announced the formation of the aptly named SPEAR (Spike Protein Elimination and Recovery) group that will “structure and guide anticipated clinical monoclonal antibody (mAB) long COVID trials”.

ME/CFS and other Post-Infectious Illnesses
Because a variety of viral triggers may be present – and some people don’t have a viral trigger – ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, POTS, and other diseases face more of a challenge when it comes to producing pathogen-directed monoclonal antibodies. Studies finding EBV reactivation in long COVID has triggered more interest in this very complex virus.
Monoclonal antibodies to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) have been and are being developed, but most are used in research and are not available for public use. They should appear over time, though, and may be helpful in diseases such as ME/CFS, which have long been associated with EBV.

• Remember: covid is not over, 50% of infections are asymptomatic, minimum 10% of infections end up in long COVID, re-infections wreck us, COVID spreads and moves like cigarette smoke, think of the people around you and you as people who are all day smoking, it becomes more visual to understand how COVID moves.
• There is no way to “train” the immune system because it is not a muscle. there is a common misconception that exposure to harmful germs strengthens the immune system. viral diseases like COVID, flu, measles weaken the immune system, leaving the possibility of lasting damage. The reality is that you don't build your immunity with repeated infections, vaccines strengthen the immune system by teaching it to recognize pathogens without all the risks. Focusing on infection prevention is key.
• Rapid antigen tests give many false negatives.
• Solving the pandemic was never in the cards for the capitalist world.
• Instead, the explicit goal of the ruling class has been to make the pandemic simply disappear from public perception. Any reminder of the existence of a highly-transmissible, highly-dangerous, mass-disabling disease could trigger panic, or worse: organized, militant labor action. Averting this crisis required a careful campaign of culture-crafting; the people themselves needed to become convinced that there was no reason to fight. Consent for protracted mass infection needed to be manufactured.

“The cold truth of the matter is that the motive behind COVID minimization is greed and social control. (…) Solving the pandemic was never in the cards for the capitalist world. Instead, the explicit goal of the ruling class has been to make the pandemic simply disappear from public perception.” Let Them Eat Plague! http://clarion.unity-struggle-unity.org/
