Zero long term concerns with antibody infusions. I also have zero concerns about long term concerns with mRNA vaccines. All of the adverse effects occur within two weeks just like every other vaccine every used. The biochemistry just does not support long term adverse effects.

Now the short term effects can be chronic, especially GBS and strokes due to blood clots so I am not discounting the adverse events, but they happen quickly.

But I have a few questions:

1. The Z-pack addressing bacteria and not virus doesn't seem to be why doctors are prescribing. It seems it is being prescribed to prevent the lungs from getting a secondary bacterial infection. At least that's my take.

2. How is Regeneron (monoclonal antibodies) different than injecting the vaccine? Is this similar? Would getting Regeneron treatment basically be similar to getting vaccinated with the MRNA technology? For a dummy, what is the differences?

3. There seems to be mixed evidence on natural immunity (after recovering from Covid; Israel studies) and vaccine immunity regarding which provides better immunity. This doctor is obviously arguing the vaccine gives better protection and recovery/vax is the best protection. But I've read other evidence of the contrary.

I'm glad this guy didn't just isolate Ivermectin in his video. He seems more credible b/c he addressed each supplement/drug Rogan mentioned. He also seems to have done his homework on Rogan's arguments by showing other episodes and mentioning that he's a fan. Would be interesting to have this doctor on Rogan's podcast, b/c the female doctor (a personal friend of his) who came on his podcast was anything but convincing and no answers for Rogan's questions (I linked her video below).

1. Antibiotics aren't without risks of their own. Azithromycin does have mild anti-inflammatory effects, and may provide some benefit in that regard. Prevention of a secondary bacterial infection empirically on everyone is controversial goal. Statistically, you're more likely to cause diarrhea than you are to prevent a secondary pneumonia. Also, excessive and indiscriminate use of antibiotics has been producing super infections for some time now. And this is only going to make it worse. There isn't a lot of money in antibiotics, so big pharma isn't really investing in antibiotic research that much. Long story short, likely minimal benefit, with potential for some near term harm, and a lot of long term harm.

2. See KidDoc's answer.

3. Have you read evidence to the contrary? Or read opinions to the contrary. Last I saw, evidence seems to suggest that the combination of recovery and subsequent vaccination will produce the best immunity. Vaccine then exposure to virus +/- symptomatic infection likely produces second best immunity with reduced risk of long term COVID side effects. Immunity is a very complex thing, and it's hard to say which one is truly better. One may produce a slightly weaker immunity, but it may be more durable. The other may be stronger, but not as durable.
