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.

“why they no longer need to do long term studies to show safety”
They never technically needed two years, only legally.
“History tells us that severe side effects are extremely rare, and if they do occur, they usually happen within the first two months.”
“COVID-19 vaccine technologies have been studied for years and used in other treatments without issue.”
“Manufacturers must have a plan to report follow-up data, including any events such as hospitalizations and deaths, and they must continue research to generate more data on safety and efficacy.”

They are being sold and used in the USA because millions of Americans want the protection the vaccines offer. That’s the “why”!
Germans traveled to Moscow to get the Russian vaccine around September 2020.

“Post-authorization vaccine safety monitoring is a federal government responsibility shared primarily by FDA and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), along with other agencies involved in healthcare delivery. Post-authorization safety monitoring during the COVID-19 pandemic vaccination program will aim to continuously monitor the safety of COVID-19 vaccines to rapidly detect safety problems if they exist. There will be multiple, complementary systems in place with validated analytic methods that can rapidly detect signals for possible vaccine safety problems. The U.S. government has a well-established post-authorization/post-approval vaccine safety monitoring infrastructure that will be scaled up to meet the needs of a large-scale COVID-19 vaccination program. The U.S. government – in partnership with health systems, academic centers, and private sector partners – will use multiple existing vaccine safety monitoring systems to monitor COVID-19 vaccines in the post-authorization/approval period. Some of these systems are the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), the Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD), the Biologics Effectiveness and Safety (BEST) Initiative, and Medicare claims data.”

Again...there wasn't time to conduct long term safety studies...the virus was killing lots of people.
Maybe the government shouldn't have sugarcoated the bio-weapon aspect with the public, but I do think it drove their decision making.
As it was, Operation Warp Speed took almost a year of continuous effort and not many people gave it much chance in succeeding.
Perhaps most surprised by the success of OWS were the Chinese, who quickly lost whatever short term strategic advantage they had achieved.

Thanks for your input. I have not heard that about monoclonal antibodies. In a Risk-Benefit analysis, in the hospital with severe disease, one is not being irrational taking a trial treatment of any kind.
Healthy with a 99.7% survival rate IF I get CV-19, I am not taking a medicine that is not truly tested. Its one’s constitutional right to. Many appreciate those who participate in the testing phase. We just tested on almost everyone.
These vaccines better not be dangerous in a couple years or everyone, and I mean everyone I know is at risk. This is the dumbest roll out I can imagine since so many young and healthy are not in danger. Cheers

“Your argument is still Florida=centric.”
No. The Company has a supply of the drug. They are not in danger of running out. The Feds are saying, if Florida is 10% of the population, they can only buy 10% of the production. It doesn’t matter if the other 90% sits on the shelves and rots.

Odd that the China virus incidents increased after everyone started getting the vax. Just sayin’......NOTHING odd about it, things are happening just as some predicted.
ADE? The "E" stands for enhancement-those unfortunate fools who listened to the idiots with medical degrees are now going to find that the vaxxes make the effects of the virus WORSE. Listen to this prediction from months ago. Fruadci and the other idiots/criminals ignored that the virus is EASILY treated and cured if given EARLY treatment rather that Fraudci's and the medical establishment's practice of sending people home to wait to see if their lips turn blue. If so, come back so they can put you on a ventilator where a large % die from that insanity.
YOUTUBE Your innate immune system is gone. VAXX large number of people and you will have a large number of varriants emerge - NOW no one can control the highly infectious varriants
