UK Covid news LIVE: Britain rolls out ‘first-of-its-kind’ coronavirus treatment

 

The UK is to roll-out a “first -of-its-kind” Covid treatment after approval by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency.

Ronapreve, a monoclonal antibody treatment, is administered either by injection or infusion and acts to stop coronavirus from gaining access to the cells of the respiratory system.

Health Secretary Sajid Javid said the drug was the first designed specifically for treating Covid. “We are now working at pace with the NHS and expert clinicians to ensure this treatment can be rolled out to NHS patients as soon as possible.”

 

It comes as just two per cent of companies being investigated by the competition watchdog over the cost of PCR tests for travel have been removed from the government’s website.

I wonder if people who refused the vaccines also refuse this drug when they are infected?

 

It is after all a drug to treat those infected, a risk that can be greatly reduced by accepting the vaccines.

 

At £1000-€2000 for a course of treatment versus a cost for two vaccine shots of under £50 the question needs to be asked why doesn’t the financial burden arising from a decision to not accept a vaccine reside with the person making that decision?
