Eli Lilly Antibody Trial Paused over Potential Safety Concerns

"Safety concerns" don't matter much if you're on your deathbed. Us plebes can clearly see that the president, an obese man in his 70s, was treated and is doing great. He has offered to bring that same treatment to the rest of us. What is an ordinary person to think? Why should my parents, who are aged 72 and 85, think that this is anything but politics?

(I myself know that REGN-COV2 works. I have a degree in molecular biology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and I've taken several courses in immunology and virology. I worked in a lab for two years after undergrad, doing basic research toward an HIV vaccine. My only point with this is that I understand the basic science here.)

This is the combination trial with remedisivir, not the one with this drug alone, as far as I can read from the article.
