NEWS & ANALYSIS Preliminary testing indicates that the COVID-19 antibody drug cocktail from Regeneron Pharmaceuticals loses effectiveness against the Omicron variant.
Separate testing of the Eli Lilly antibody drug cocktail shows it also isn’t as effective against Omicron. Lilly said it is testing the new variant against its antibody treatment, the Wall Street Journal reports .
According to researchers, some antibody cocktails are likely to be especially vulnerable to Omicron because it contains mutations to the spike protein that the Regeneron and Lilly drugs target, while other drugs should fare well because they attack elements of the virus that remain the same in the variant.
These monoclonal antibodies are lab-made molecules created and given son after infection to treat patients before they require hospitalization. They are different from vaccines, which train the immune system to defend against the virus before it presents itself.
Regeneron said it would be able to figure out the impact of the variant in the coming weeks after further testing is done.
If final testing shows that its antibody drugs are less effective, Regeneron has alternative antibodies that it can take to clinical testing. One of the alternates is already in clinical testing.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
