Perhaps, others have already posted. (Posting links in the app sadly still fails, thus the title.)

Good luck!

Thanks, Len, for posting the link. I was reaching out with the article title to lazy people like me who prefer using the app that once always worked.

Perhaps, someone on this site can help support who has not been able to solve this problem which has now existed for months.

If I understand it correctly MABs are good for a specific variant. Another variant - and they are not useful. Then they can keep a patient alive long enough to become a source of a new mutation but not save him in the end. This is how the Kent variant came into existence. So don't rely on MABs. If you get sick, get a MAB and hope for the best. Just don't think they are a cure. Far from it.
