Review arguing against use of single monoclonal antibodies for COVID-19 treatment, particularly in immunosuppressed patients, due to the risk of rapidly selecting for resistant viral variants. Authors suggest that while monoclonal antibodies may be justified for pre-exposure prophylaxis, their use in therapy poses potential risks to patients, society, and the future viability of monoclonal antibody treatments.
