Letter to NIH Committee Addressing 12/1/22 Recommendations

We have been affected by the CCP-19 from Pfizer.

I am excited about the potential for my donating my blood. I currently have COVID and am looking forward to contributing. Also, I have blood type O+ which should be an advantage! If you would like to contact me, my email is [email protected].

I am a kidney transplant of over 30 years and without a doubt have seen what convalescent plasma can do for the immune compromised. This must be available.. so many of us cannot take paxlovid. Benjamin Brewster

I support the convalescent plasma for covid. I support this petition. Antoinette Brewster

After surviving SARS2, March 2020, I still have not developed antibodies for Covid. Please protect people like me with convalescent plasma.

Sarah Graham Keenan Distinguished Professor of Medicine University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

Please allow convalescent plasma to treat immunocompromised patients like me when COVID 19 hits.

Please consider the Immunocompromised.

I am an immunosuppressed person and very concerned about COVID treatment optyions for this subgroup. I wholeheartedly support this petition.

Please consider this treatment for the immunosuppressed whose options are dwindling with the emergence of new variant.

Please continue to expand and support treatment options. This is particularly important for the vulnerable populations as evolving variants limits several medical advancements.

I fully support the December 1st, 2022 COVID-19 convalescent plasma recommendations.

Please make treatments available for those of us who are immunocompromised. We are the most vulnerable, and many of us can not take paxlovid. That leaves us with no treatments that can save our lives.

The increase in transmission and replication of the newest COVID variants adds even more urgency to this action.

Signing as both scientist and heart transplant recipient (2021)

It is critical to transplant recipients and all other immunocompromised people to have available treatment options now. Our lives at at stake and we need you to champion our interests. Thank you.

Please protect the immunocompromised by allowing CCP.

Millions of highly immunosuppressed people like me are back to square one: no defenses against COVID-19 due monoclonals' failure toagainst new variants and an inability to take Paxlovid due to drug interactions. Despite the continued extreme precautions I'm still taking with isolation, I'm in more fear than ever because when I get COVID, there are no treatments. Please make it easier for the vulnerable to get potentially life-saving CCP.

After almost three full years, millions like me should not still be left with little to no options for Covid treatments. In a world where Public Health has taken a back seat to what is publicly acceptable behaviors in the name of "normalcy", I am thoroughly disgusted by the lack of "do no harm" toward those who need it most. What happened to our "public good"? Let's put the health back in public health for ALL people, not for only the selected few!
