Monoclonal antibodies can really make a difference and cure Covid patients in 48 hours. And, if Giorgio Palù, emeritus professor at the University of Padua, former president of the Italian and European Society of Virology, is asked if he is confident in the imminent arrival of a vaccine, as Libero reports, the expert answers the following: “Sure, but look: there is a lot of talk about the vaccine, but there is already a cure based on monoclonal antibodies. Regeneron is a combination of three monoclonals that cured Trump in 48 hours. Berlusconi recovered with Remdesivir, heparin, and cortisone. The problem with monoclonals at this time is that they are not produced in large quantities, but they have shown that this virus gives immunity.
There is no basis for talking about the third wave.
The virologist pointed out that the coronavirus is not HIV. Of course, and we have understood it, Covid-19 is more virulent than a normal flu, it has a higher lethality but, as the professor affirms, it is not at all comparable to that caused by other viruses. Another element that he wanted to highlight is the average age of deaths, that is, 81 years. “Exactly the average lifespan of an Italian adult male. And those who die sadly have 2-3 comorbidities. I repeat: we will not get rid of it because the virus will most likely become endogenous to the human species, it will have an internal origin “.. On the fact that someone is already talking about the third wave, Palù’s judgment is very cautious, since there is no basis for saying such a thing. In his opinion, from a semantic point of view it is also incorrect to speak of the second wave, since the only ones who restarted the first wave were the Chinese. Here we can possibly talk about second stage.
More contagious but not more virulent
The increase in infections is worrying, “Also because lately the curve has grown exponentially. Since a few days, however, it seems to deviate slightly, there is a stabilization both in new infections and in intensive care. However, not hospitalizations and let me say that people end up in the hospital also because of the terrorism that certain media and pseudo experts spread ”. Stabilization may depend on the use of the basic mask, which was previously used by few people.
According to the virologist we will not get rid of the virus, but we will not succumb. Also because, if the virus kills the host, it also dies. The one he is filming in Italy is similar to the Spanish one, and the mutation of the protein “s” is different from the Chinese one that came out of the city of Wuhan. It is more contagious than the other, but not more virulent, and now it seems destined to stay with us, as it was previously with other viruses.
“The biological clock of the genome says that Covid-19 has been running since September. It has adapted to man. This virus is not Sars, it is not Mers, it is not smallpox, which has had a mortality rate of up to 30%. Covid has an average fatality of 0.4% “ Palù added. The virologist is certainly not afraid of being accused of being a denier, also because it has already happened. It does not deny anything but it is based on data, on science, on history. You do not want to underestimate the virus at all, but seroprevalence studies, as you recalled, have shown that a certain immunity has developed in the Bergamo area, and that there Four. Five% of the population developed antibodies.
