Gov. Ron DeSantis Office: Over Half of Those Seeking Lifesaving COVID-19 Treatment in South Florida Fully Vaccinated

A spokesperson for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s office said that more than half of those who are seeking monoclonal antibody treatment in the south of Florida are “fully vaccinated” individuals amid supply issues.

“More than half the patients getting the monoclonal antibody treatment in south Florida are fully vaccinated,” DeSantis spokeswoman Christina Pushaw wrote in response to a comment on Twitter that suggested that only unvaccinated people are the reason why there is a significant demand for monoclonal antibodies.

Florida, she wrote hours earlier, “is above average in vaccination rate” and that “more than half of the patients in south Florida getting monoclonal antibody treatment are vaccinated and have breakthrough infections. Vaccinated or unvaccinated -Denying treatment to Covid patients is wrong.”

Monoclonal antibodies are engineered immune system proteins that boost an immune response against an infection.

Earlier this week, the White House and Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced plans to control the U.S. monoclonal antibody supply due to distribution issues. According to HHS’s website in a Sept. 13 update, the agency “will determine the weekly amount of mAb products each state and territory receives based on COVID-19 case burden and [monoclonal antibody treatment] utilization.”

A spokesperson for HHS told CNN that Florida, Texas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, and Louisiana are using 70 percent of the supply of the drug.

“Given this reality, we must work to ensure our supply of these life-saving therapies remains available for all states and territories, not just some,” the HHS spokesperson said, adding that a new system “will help maintain equitable distribution, both geographically and temporally, across the country … providing states and territories with consistent, fairly-distributed supply over the coming weeks.”

Before the change, states and hospitals could purchase the antibodies on their own without going through the federal government.

Time for the feds to come up with yet another worthless vaccine.

Big Pharma need the money.

[Kudsman]

Cue the Madcow eye roll and fall out of his chair.

Soooo if the other 50% were vaccinated more would have died?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Only a retard would think the purpose of a vaccine would be to prevent the corresponding illness. 🤡

[kiryandil]

Ruh-roh, Raggy!

[JoSixChip]

Vaccinated or unvaccinated -Denying treatment to Covid patients is wrong

Been saying that since I first learned the only prescribed treatment for 99% of patents is "Go home until you have trouble breathing, then go to the Emergency Room".

[Karl Spooner]

Use Ivermectin, Ronnie, and Covid will be a thing of the past.

[mac_truck]

Big Pharma need the money.

Are you a lefist Ben, because you sound like one.

[House Atreides]

“…a new system “will help maintain equitable distribution, both geographically and temporally, across the country … providing states and territories with consistent, fairly-distributed supply over the coming weeks.”…”
****************************************************************
Ensure “equitable” distribution of the supply regardless of the instant needs of all the areas of the country? The DUMBASSERY of the Biden Crew knows no limits. Different parts of our vast country have surges of the virus AT DIFFERENT TIMES. So the brilliant Bidenites distribute independent of need. The imbeciles see no need to balance geographical distribution based upon geographic need at each particular time.

Only a retard would think the purpose of a vaccine would be to prevent the corresponding illness

That explains why your president told everyone it would.

[Kudsman]

I think it was sarcasm. Lol.

[Sarah Barracuda]

If Trump were refusing to send life saving medication to a state due to their politics the commie media would be rioting in the streets..but since its pudding for brains Biden and the state in question is Florida, the commie media could care less

[Mount Athos]

This is a RED ALERT issue.

They are literally killing us, withholding lifesaving treatment in the name of “equity”.

Governors should be giving emergency alert speeches every day, screaming about this until something changes.

[frank ballenger]

Did they have masks on outside and inside?/S

To think people over 60 used to bitterly complain they had to wait to get to the next “tier” of waiting for the jab a few months ago.

[Kudsman]

The thing that the “commie media” hadn’t realized yet may be that what they say is no longer limited to the printing press reach only. A word is worldwide now. Instantaneous. A huge reckoning is in the making and they keep digging their own graves.

What to do?

FACT SHEET FOR PATIENTS, PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS EMERGENCY USE AUTHORIZATION (EUA) OF REGEN-COVTM (casirivimab and imdevimab) FOR CORONAVIRUS DISEASE 2019 (COVID-19)
https://www.regeneron.com/downloads/treatment-covid19-eua-fact-sheet-for-patient.pdf

WHAT ARE THE IMPORTANT POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS OF REGEN-COV (casirivimab and imdevimab)?
Possible side effects of REGEN-COV are:
• Allergic reactions. Allergic reactions can happen during and after infusion or injection of REGEN-COV. Tell your healthcare provider right away or seek immediate medical attention if you get any of the following signs and symptoms of allergic reactions: fever, chills, nausea, headache, shortness of breath, low or high blood pressure, rapid or slow heart rate, chest discomfort or pain, weakness, confusion, feeling tired, wheezing, swelling of your lips, face, or throat, rash including hives, itching, muscle aches, feeling faint, dizziness and sweating. These reactions may be severe or life threatening.
• Worsening symptoms after treatment: You may experience new or worsening symptoms after infusion or injection, including fever, difficulty breathing, rapid or slow heart rate, tiredness, weakness or confusion. If these symptoms occur, contact your healthcare provider or seek immediate medical attention as some of these symptoms have required hospitalization. It is unknown if these symptoms are related to treatment or are due to the progression of COVID-19.

The side effects of getting any medicine by vein may include brief pain, bleeding, bruising of the skin, soreness, swelling, and possible infection at the infusion site. The side effects of getting any medicine by subcutaneous injection may include pain, bruising of the skin, soreness, swelling, and possible infection at the injection site.

These are not all the possible side effects of REGEN-COV. Not a lot of people have been given REGEN-COV. Serious and unexpected side effects may happen. REGEN-COV is still being studied so it is possible that all of the risks are not known at this time.

It is possible that REGEN-COV could interfere with your body’s own ability to fight off a future infection of SARS-CoV-2. Similarly, REGEN-COV may reduce your body’s immune response to a vaccine for SARS-CoV-2. Specific studies have not been conducted to address these possible risks. Talk to your healthcare provider if you have any questions.

[Kudsman]

Call me an optimist.

[JoSixChip]

That explains why your president told everyone it would.

Vaccine was defined differently in the dictionary when Trump was president. In fact, it's changed at least twice. Add to that, all the data that Trump had, that we know about, said the new vax would stop infection from the virus.

[TigersEye]

Over half.

[MileHi]

Are you a moron, mac, because you sound like one. The vax doesn’t work. The FedGov denies cheap meds that do. Because Big Pharma and their politicians need the money.
