And the process for making monoclonal antibodies is pretty damned scary: They fuse Covid-exposed mouse spleen B-cells with human myeloma cancer cells to make "Frankenstein" hybridoma cells. Those reproduce in a vat and continue making the antibody. As opposed to getting the vaccine, and making your own antibodies.

The antibodies you end up with are mouse antibodies, and they only last about three months. If you were exposed to the SARS-COV2 virus, your T and B cells might get activated but they might not. So you may not end up with any long lasting protection.

Personally, I might not react well since I'm pretty allergic to mice. The (relatively) good news is they have been experimenting with a single subcutaneous injection of MAB instead of three IV infusions. That makes it something you could get in the ER during your initial visit, with just a small wait to see if you get anaphylactic shock before going home.
