Sounded interesting, but then I got wary when I got to the end. Is this more political garbage or is there something to it?

Donna, site looks right wing, Dr info looks real.

Most of the  reporting these days is based on political views, but u never know.

They’re going to wait for patents (while people are R”L dying) before bringing this to market? What about clinical trials, or whatever the current FDA allowance is for compassionate/emergency use?

Site is from the most right wing out there, but mostly not conspiracy theorist. It is The Heritage Foundation's site.

Both Bennet and the institution aren't reliable. It's likely just some minor progress in identifying the antibody.

Ah, so this is just another vaccine going through the motions, nothing new to see here, the hyperbole is fake news.

From what I understand, they are saying that the mechanics of it make it able to work on someone already infected

That is how I understood this:

Defense Minister Naftali Bennett visited the Ness Ziona-based lab on Monday and was briefed by the research team, who he said revealed a breakthrough antibody that attacks the virus and neutralizes it in the body.
IIBR is now working to patent its antibody and secure a contract for its commercial development. All legal procedures will be coordinated with the Defense Ministry.

So was there a joint statement put out or not?

It should be noted that experts estimate the testing period for the antibody could be at least one year. They also stressed that at this stage the antibody has only been researched in a lab and that many hurdles must be crossed before it is turned into a medicine.

Channel 12 initially reported it as a vaccine and then modified the article to state cure, but the whole thing is hyperbole bc the institution needs the funding

So was there a joint statement put out or not?

It was a statement to the media that was not published. From a dumb hyperactive politician.
