It’s this.

Pfizer just announced that they’ll be “cutting costs” because their COVID preventatives and treatments aren’t selling so well.

It’s been almost a year since we had monoclonal antibody infusions active against circulating strains of SARS‑CoV‑2, but there’s no hurry on those.

Weren't we also supposed to be getting a cure for the common cold thanks to MRNA vaccines? Come on, it's been a couple of years now, chop chop.

Even just with COVID, the “killer app” for mRNA technology, we could update the shots in one hundred days, we just aren’t.

XBB.1.5 has been dominant since January, and that’s what’s going in the updated shots, but they won’t be available till October. Last year, it was possible to get the bivalent boosters at the beginning of September, and that was with a target of BA.5, which didn’t emerge as early in 2022 as XBB.1.5 did in this year.

It’s worse than we do with the flu vaccine. Worse uptake, too, in no small part because many institutions require staff and students to get yearly flu shots. They don’t require COVID shots.

Published 1:48 PM GMT-7, October 2, 2020

WASHINGTON (AP) — Text of a memorandum from Sean Conley, physician to the president:

I release the following information with the permission of President Donald J. Trump.

Following PCR-confirmation of the President’s diagnosis, as a precautionary measure he received a single 8 gram dose of Regeneron’s polyclonal antibody cocktail. He completed the infusion without incident. In addition to the polyclonal antibodies, the President has been taking zinc, vitamin D, famotidine, melatonin and a daily aspirin.

As of this afternoon the President remains fatigued but in good spirits. He’s being evaluated by a team of experts, and together we’ll be making recommendations to the President and First Lady in regards to the next best steps.

First Lady Melania Trump remains well with only a mild cough and headache, and the remainder of the First Family are well and tested negative for SARS-CoV-2 today.

REGEN‐COV is dosed at fifty milligrams per kilogram.

Well, was. It hasn’t work against circulating strains in a long time.
