Actually, one of the most disturbing things about Delta and Delta plus to me, is the fact that treatment with antibody therapy seems to be less effective. So, someone like me who has been immunized but maybe gets a breakthrough infection, and needs treatment -- which would typically be antibody therapy-based -- it's not as likely to help me.
I agree that we need additional treatments, beyond just immunization/vaccination (not that we shouldn't be doing that too, just that we need additional lines of defense). I'd like to see targeting the individual viral proteins with inhibitors, much as we do with the triple cocktail for HIV.
