Israel’s Health Ministry announced last week that it will finally offer the lifesaving Regeneron antibody treatment for COVID to Kupot Cholim to treat mildly and moderately ill COVID patients.
Earlier this month, a Ynet report revealed that although the Health Ministry had purchased thousands of doses of the Regeneron drug, it failed to release it for mass use by Kupot Cholim to treat COVID patients at home despite its proven success rate in the US.
A day after the announcement last week, the Kupot Cholim began providing the drug to coronavirus patients at high risk of becoming seriously ill, especially the unvaccinated as well as those suffering from obesity and heart and lung ailments.
However, a Channel 12 News report on Motzei Shabbos said that many anti-vaxxer coronavirus patients are refusing to be treated with the drug. According to the report, Meuchedet offered the drug to nine patients. Two vaccinated patients immediately agreed to the treatment but six out of the seven unvaccinated patients refused it.
Dr. Erez Carmon, the head of Meuchedet’s coronavirus command center, said that despite the fact that staff members at the control center have been calling unvaccinated patients to explain the treatment to them, most are refusing it, saying that their friends and relatives are pressuring them not to accept it.
“Fortunately, most vaccinated patients are willing to accept the treatment and protect themselves,” Dr. Carmon said. “There’s a very small window of opportunity to defend yourself, it’s a shame to miss it.”

Again. Another product with questionable ingredients and Emergency use authorization and no long term safety data.
I don’t understand the process of how it’s made, as the description was complex , but long story short, it’s made in mice using cancer cells (myeloma)
Just a bit freaked out thinking about it
Would I take it for myself? Probably not
But I would quickly send my older or sicker relative because it’s probably worth the risk
BUT WHAT TOOK SO LONG????
And why aren’t they adding IVERMECTIN and Hydroxychloroquine Zinc Vitamin C through IV melatonin etc.?????
How many more dead people do we need to wake up and realize the health department could care less about individuals???
Nice attempt to demonize the anti-vax, this is such BS anti-vax group are the ones who pushed to get that drug finally approved and Israel!
This treatment is number one on the anti-vax treatment regimen list… Try again ywn.
Unvaccinated people should be at the back of the line for approved treatments. Save them for the vaccinated.
What’s the side effects of Regeneron antibody treatment?
Why are the Anti vax refuses life saving treatment?
Yet an Arab terrorist they would have no trouble going to any lengths to save his life.
Oh wow some great reporting! Out of 9?? But hey keep pushing your agenda…That’s insane to say the unvaxed don’t want it when you only offered it to 9 ppl…come back after you do a normal study
Its a shame the left made people not trust bc there’s so much corruption within the system.
YWN should get its newsfeeds from more responsible sources. This drug is known to have many significant side effects. There are much better treatments, certainly among them monoclonal antibodies. This has become political for nefarious reasons. Desantis in Florida has stocked up on this for their state, and Biden’s cohorts are attempting to withhold it from Red States –– to keep pushing the ‘vaccine mandate’ and Regeneron as the only and best solution. Unfortunately, responsible science says otherwise. Unfortunate and medical cronyism has become a national and international danger. The cv narrative and its treatment modality are deeply flawed. Do your research. Resist mainstream false news that are based on big pharma profiteering motives. Suspect ‘bought’ regulating institutions systemically!
Hydroxychloroquine zinc and antibiotics saved my life and my wife’s life.
