Unless the effectiveness and duration of protection is the same as the vaccines it shouldn’t be treated like one.

I’m also confused why they compare it to an hour long infusion. The vaccines are shots with some (15 minute) observation time for reactions. I assume regeneron would be the same.

It’s good if it can be mass produced as another tool like a stopgap until you can get vaccinated, but some of the wording triggered my bs detector.
