Researchers at Pitt Say They Have an Antibody That “Completely and Specifically Neutralizes” The Virus

This could be huge. 🤞

Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh have a new drug that could help you make antibodies WITHOUT getting the virus.  They say it could protect you for weeks or months, and also might help people RECOVER from the virus.

It’s worth mentioning Jonas Salk was also at Pitt when he came up with the polio vaccine.
