We seem to be hearing this a lot recently. If this is true, why are we not hearing about it more?

A coronavirus antibody breakthrough was announced by California-based Sorrento Therapeutics. They says they have discovered an antibody that not only protects humans from coronavirus, but also flushes it out within four days.

"We want to emphasize there is a cure." Sorrento Therapeutics founder and CEO Dr. Henry Ji told Fox News. He says STI-1499 provides "100% inhibition" of COVID-19 - meaning, "you don't need the social distancing. You can open up a society without fear."

Ji adds that, because there aren't any side effects, STI-1499 can be used as preventative. He says it blocks the virus from entering the body and prevents it from multiplying inside those already infected. So, the virus to simply die off.

Not sure if these breakthroughs are true and just being suppressed, or just a lot of companies trying to make money without a real breakthrough? Thoughts?
