The drug uses neutralising antibodies -- produced by the human immune system to prevent the virus infecting cells -- which Xie's team isolated from the blood of 60 recovered patients.
A drug being tested by scientists at China's prestigious Peking University could not only shorten the recovery time for those infected, but even offer short-term immunity from the virus, researchers say.
Sunney Xie, director of the university's Beijing Advanced Innovation Center for Genomics, told AFP that the drug has been successful at the animal testing stage.
"When we injected neutralizing antibodies into infected mice, after five days the viral load was reduced by a factor of 2,500," said Xie.
"That means this potential drug has (a) therapeutic effect."

Just give antigen to people for collecting antibodies.
antigen grown in tobacco
Problem is however i dont think anyone knows the igg levels required for immunity.
The vaccine, currently undergoing pre-clinical testing, uses a cloned portion of COVID-19’s genetic sequence to create an antigen that is then inserted into tobacco plants for reproduction.
Common names for various species in the genus include mugwort, wormwood, and sagebrush.

Interesting, both the claim made against the WHO, as well as the plant they are using, genius Artemisia - Wormwood perhaps?

Makes no sense...why would you pay for something that your body has/will produce naturally? makes no sense...People are losing their minds..
