Not sure from that article whether the milk naturally contains antibodies against it or if that only happens after the woman recovers from Covid (similar to the presence of antibodies in the plasma of recovered people, which is already being collected for therapeutic purposes). It sounds like the study itself is mostly looking to answer that question. I'd be very surprised if the non-convalescent women are already producing antibodies, but it's not impossible that their milk contains very generalized antibodies that can provide some immunity.
Further down the road, this may actually end up being a means by which to amplify the effect of any given vaccination while supplies are still limited. If you can vaccinate a nursing mother and then harvest her milk to produce a treatment that provides partial immunity, that would make them prime targets for those first few vaccines.

theres a new show on Netflix called Unwell and one of the episodes covers the health benefits of drinking human breast milk. It wasnt very conclusive.

I mean, the necessary hormones are pretty readily available. You might have to befriend a doctor that doesn't care too much about ethics to get them, but it's nonetheless always an option.

ya know the whole idea of drinking human milk does seem super nasty, but I have a difficult time really putting into words why
i mean a lot of us drank it when we were babies and a lot of us drink milk from some big cow stranger without even thinking about it

Well, I guess the male equivalent of breast milk would work for women, so that is probably going to save lives!!
