(CNN) Vaccines have gotten all the attention in the race to fight Covid-19, but there is a major push in the United States to develop antibody therapies to treat coronavirus. Four monoclonal antibody treatments made to treat and possibly even prevent Covid-19 infection already went into human trials in June. In addition to therapies specifically designed to fight the novel coronavirus, companies are also looking to repurpose some of their existing monoclonal antibody treatments as potential Covid-19 treatments. Most experts think that the world could have an antibody treatment sooner than a vaccine, although vaccine development is moving along at a record pace, too. "There's a lot of excitement around what these antibody therapies can do, at the animal level anyway," Thomas said.
