RE: Evusheld "Better than nothing"?17 Oct 2022 10:04
I dunno if there's any cross-read to SNG, but the Evusheld decision was a penny pinching disgrace and had nothing to do with length of protection. It's been used in so many countries effectively and has already saved 1000s in those countries, with a 50% reduction in progression to severe disese. Even if BA5 is overtaken by a new variant (such as BQ.1.1 ) in the next month or two - shielding patients could have been protected from mid August to the that point at least, which would be a longer period of efficacy than some of the other approved and then deleted mabs.
Chances of a reversal of the decision now with cuts to everything about to be announced by the latest chancellor - slim
