Efficacy is variant dependent. In Vitro studies suggest a lack of efficacy for many omicron variants Haars, Liu, Pochtovyi, Sheward, Tatham, Uraki, VanBlargan. ADE shown In Vitro Shimizu. mAb use may create new variants that spread globally Focosi, Leducq, and may be associated with prolonged viral loads, clinical deterioration, and immune escape Casadevall, Choudhary, Günther, Leducq.
