'You Look At That Data -- Yikes, Yikes': DeSantis Responds To FDA Data On Merck Pill - YouTube

Transcript Begins:
"River the decision. Yeah, I mean, you just think about it.
This stuff now is just sitting
there. We don't have anywhere
near enough of the Citroba map.
No, we don't. Uh some of these
other things, I mean, you know,
the the FDA approved this Merc
pill and honestly, you know,
you look at that data. Yikes.
Yikes.

And that is going and
they're pushing. Um and yet
this, they're somehow, you
know, kind of going to war
with. I I wonder what's so
special about this that they're
doing this. Um so, it's just
sitting there and you're
hearing from people in real
life who've who've this Omicron
wave have had been infected,
got it, and did better. You
hear from clinicians who are
applying this to patients and
having good results.

Now, if
you did a clinical trial, who
knows what percentage the
efficacy with? I don't know. I
can't tell you that but I can
tell you when I see patients,
when we have reports from our
medical people saying patients
have done well with this in
this current Omicron cycle, I'm
going to put weight into that
and want to help other people
and I'm not just going to say,
okay because there was one
lab-based study in vitro that
therefore, we just have to turn
a blind eye to what's actually
happening in the real world and
so, this is a lesson as to why
should not have the government
controlling medication in this
country.

I would buy, I bought
Satrovab but then the Feds did
a exclusive deal with them so I
can't do it. I would be using
some of our resources to make
sure this stuff was available.
People can use it or not do it.
It's their decision.

Um and
then, you know, some other
states would probably do it
differently. They continue to
close schools. They force mass.
They do different things.
Different approaches and that's
fine but I would be able to do
that and then to get into the
hands of the physicians and the
clinics so that our citizens
had access to this if this is
something that they needed and
I think what what the doctors
both said in terms of like what
the effects of this afterwards

the White House Press Secretary
you know stands in front of
that podium and lies through
her teeth every single day and
usually about the state of
Florida the other day she said
Florida hasn't done enough to
get schools open Are you
kidding me? I remember them
criticizing me when we did this
almost two years ago. We were
the only big state to have
every every school district
open for in person and we did
that way before Biden was even
president. We didn't need the
the Biden stimulus money for
that. We did it. We opened them
and yet they're saying Florida
didn't do it and you look right
now while the school closures
across the country.

You don't
see that happening here like
you do there and yet that's
what they do and so recently
she said that the monoclonal s
do not work, definitively do
not work against Omicron and
they have really bad side
effects. That's what she said
and that is not true based on
what we've seen in the state of
Florida.

Obviously, human
physiology is that anything you
take, it's potentially. That's
why we have the observation
period where people are
observed. We did the
observation period for the
vaccinations too. Just to see
because these things happen but
the idea that somehow this is
led to like massive adverse
reactions is just a lie and it
is a lie designed to buttress
politically a position that
they have taken which is just
indefensible as a matter of
policy, as a matter of basic
decency for people and so, yes,
I understand up there, their
whole rationale, you know, when
they do this press goes a prop
up the regime. I get it. Uh but
you can only so much. And you
know what? People don't believe
the lies because they
understand how ridiculous it
is.

So, we have people here who
wanted the treatment. They're
being denied because of the
heavy-handed government. You
know, we've been able to
provide people to show that
this is something, you know,
that has been beneficial for
people and if you're going to
rely on that one little you
know, lab study to say no one
should even have access to it
even if they want it. Uh it's
just fundamentally wrong and
so, you know, we're going to
keep fighting to provide
options for people. If I can
buy more of the Citrova map, we
will do that right now, we
don't have the options to do
that unfortunately because the
federal government is
controlling all this but good
lord, I mean, this is just
wrong and to do it late at
night, on a Monday, and leave
people twisted in the wind and
not being able to to satisfy
appointments that they had
already been given.

Um that's
not the way you treat people.
That's not what we want to see
in the state of Florida and so
this this is a big mistake what
they've done. Obviously,
they've got a lot of other
problems.

I mean, let's just
honest. This is not been you
know, a great show over the
last year but but this is just
unnecessary and it was really
done in a in a very heavy
handed and haphazard fashion.

So, I want to thank everyone
for being here for this and
we're going to continue to do
whatever we can to provide
people with options and let
them make their own decisions
and that's been our mantra from
the beginning. You know,
empower you to make your
decisions about all the stuff
that's out there and but not
dictate that on your behalf.
So, so thanks everyone for
coming. Hey, Glenna. Hi, how
are you? Good. How are you
doing? Thank you. Good."
