I'm so glad I had the vaccine and thus very unlikely to need four injections of the Regeneron medication. I would especially dislike the two shots that have to go in your stomach. Why anyone would not try to avoid stomach injections is beyond me.
Yes, a tiny 10th of a teaspoon worth of mrna vaccine which teaches your body to make its own antibodies to prevent or at least greatly reduce symptoms and reduce the number of days you're contagious - versus an IV bag full of artificially pre-made antibodies which will work to fight off the virus after it's gotten into your body and possibly infected others around you for several days.
Seems a no-brainer to me. The vaccine is not only the thing to do if you are selfish -- but also the thing to do if you care about your community and others. I just don't get it - why people don't follow the vaccine game plan to eradicate the virus by participating in the strategy developed by people who know what they're doing.
Those afraid of the vaccine are not willing to put an "unknown substance" into their body, yet are willing to invite the virus into their body, also with unknown destruction, whether minor symptoms with a mild case, or debilitating sickness, lingering symptoms and possible death. Both have been studied and the vaccine is the safer choice.
I agree with others that the public figures touting Monoclonal Antibody Cocktail Medications (Regeneron) INSTEAD of masks and the vaccine, are in it for the money. The more people they can get on board with getting sick and needing their cure, the richer they get. (Kinda like religion)
I've had some(for blood thinners after a car accident) before, it was no worse than injections anywhere else.
My husband had 13 injections in his stomach when he was exposed to rabies as a child and he definitely thought it was worse than a shot in the arm.
