DENNIS PRAGER (HOST): I'm broadcasting from my home because I'm not going into the station as I have COVID. I was tested positive last week and I have been steadily improving. At no point was I in danger of hospitalization. I have received monoclonal antibodies, that's Regeneron. I have, of course, for years -- a year and a half, not years -- been taking hydroxychloroquine from the beginning, with zinc. I've taken z-pack, azithromycin, as the Zelenko protocol would have it. I have taken ivermectin. I have done what a person should do if one is not going to get vaccinated.
It is infinitely preferable to have natural immunity than vaccine immunity and that is what I have hoped for the entire time. Hence, so, I have engaged with strangers, constantly hugging them, taking photos with them knowing that I was making myself very susceptible to getting COVID. Which is, indeed, as bizarre as it sounded, what I wanted, in the hope I would achieve natural immunity and be taken care of by therapeutics. That is exactly what has happened. It should have happened to the great majority of Americans.
The number of deaths in this country owing to COVID is a scandal which one day will be clear to Americans. The opposition of therapeutics on the part of the CDC is owing to the corruption of the belief in the value of vaccine and only vaccine. Whether it is because of all the money that goes into the CDC from the pharmaceutical companies or a simple unquestioning faith in vaccines, or both, only God knows. So, I have walked the walk on this matter and here I am.
If there WAS a God, this guy would join Herman Caine

(33,643 posts)BTW, "belief in the value of vaccine and only vaccine" ... so is the CDC warning people away from taking the Regeneron that you got, Dennis, since it's clearly not a vaccine?
Yeah, I didn't think so.
Idiot.

The ONLY immunity he has is the artificial immunity provided by Regeneron. He probably would have gotten far more sick or died without it.

(33,643 posts)I know their lingo.
Read what he said in totality with this in mind, and you'll see what I'm talking about.
You just don't 'speak idiot' quite well enough

So, no. These people may survive just fine, but it does nothing to protect them in the future. Less than nothing.

(33,643 posts)and their body mounting an immune response.
They apparently have 'scientifically' deduced that taking Regeneron doesn't interfere with the building of this 'natural immunity' ... don't ask me how, but that's what they seem convinced of.
lagomorph777
(30,613 posts)...very briefly, unlike the NATURAL immunity you get from a vaccine.

(6,446 posts)from work. So not only was it free, but i got a few free vacation days as well. I'll admit i had pretty bad side effects from both shots (Moderna) but they only lasted a couple of days (well the sore arm lasted a couple of weeks). I never stopped masking and i work in a HOT kitchen. My coworkers all thought i was crazy at first... now they ask me what i know before they make decisions. They have come to realize that i wear a mask to protect THEM! I have a toddler, so i live with an unvaccinated individual who goes to daycare. What sucks is that now everytime anyone gets a sniffle... no daycare, no work. Not to mention hand-foot-mouth is going around in the area.... and flu season is coming up! At least i have sports on tv...

(14,174 posts)Especially Prager. He has almost singlehandedly broken our extended family down the middle. My sister and her husband listen to his broadcasts religiously. Now they will go on to crow about his wise decision and how he proved that vaccines are useless etc etc...
Can' t wait
LonePirate
(13,426 posts)He wanted to be infected then he became infected and his body fights it off without help, like it does in many other people. He consumes a variety of unproven quack medical cures and one medically supported treatment that is even more experimental than a vaccine and he will likely survive.
Then we have plenty of Americans and people worldwide who have done as much as they could to prevent being. Infected and they have been vaccinated, yet some are still hospitalized and even die. They do everything right and its not enough. He does everything wrong and yet he lives to spread bullshit to more susceptible people. We are so fucked.

(9,481 posts)Prager is full of shit. But it is a good point- he says he was taking horse dewormer, colloidal silver, and the like, but he still got Covid.

(11,831 posts)many people did he convince that what he was doing was the right thing?

because of all the money that goes into the CDC from the pharmaceutical companies.
Really? How does that work? They write the CDC a check? To whom was it made out?
(Yes, I understand lobbyists, to members of Congress, leading to appropriations, but that was not what he said.)

(17,183 posts)Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: REGN) today (9/14/21) announced that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Department of Defense (DOD) will purchase 1.4 million additional doses of REGEN-COV (casirivimab and imdevimab). The government will continue to provide REGEN-COV at no cost to patients.
"More than a year and a half into this pandemic, too many people are still being hospitalized and dying due to COVID-19," said Leonard S. Schleifer, M.D., Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Regeneron. "While vaccination remains the first line of defense to decrease the burden of COVID-19, REGEN-COV is a key tool that reduces the risk of hospitalization or death by 70% in high-risk individuals when given early in the course of the infection. Recently there has been greater demand for REGEN-COV, and we will provide additional doses to the U.S. government as quickly as possible."
Under the new agreement, Regeneron will supply an additional 1.4 million 1,200 mg doses of REGEN-COV to the U.S. government by January 31, 2022, at a cost of $2,100 per dose. This new agreement follows two earlier agreements with the U.S. government announced in July 2020 and January 2021. (Bold mine)

So, according to this fool, it seems we should just wait until we test positive and then clog up the medical system even more than it is now.
