From yesterday’s Coffee & Covid email from FL attorney Jeff Childers—HHS has relented and is allowing states to roder the monoclonal antibodies:
_________________________________________________________
“After Florida’s Surgeon General Joe Ladapo sent a letter to HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra on December 29 requesting monoclonal antibodies, pointing out that while some mABs may not work for Omicron, there are a lot of other variants still out there and patients that will benefit from the mABs, Joe Biden said there was no federal solution to the virus, and the CDC reversed its estimate of the prevalence of Omicron, HHS has now backed down.
On New Year’s Eve, HHS announced that:
> “In light of recent National Institutes of Health (NIH) clinical guidelines published on Dec. 30, 2021, and the significant variability in prevalence of the Omicron Variant of Concern (VOC), all states and territories can continue to order both Lilly (bamlanivimab plus etesevimab) and Regeneron (casirivimab plus imdevimab) monoclonal antibody products from HHS based on allocated amounts for clinically appropriate use.”
In other words, the federal government has now unlocked the stores of monoclonal antibodies. We’d been hearing reports of clinics running out of mABs from all over the country after the federal government locked them down. I’ve also been hearing many anecdotes of folks receiving the mABs and feeling better, Omicron surge or not. I’ve yet to hear one single report of anyone getting the mABs early and not quickly improving.”
Kennedy has had it!

I had covid for the 2nd time after getting vaxxed, and now I’m pissed at everyone from Anthony Fauci to the Communist Chinese government. Am I overreacting? Here is tonight’s #KennedyWatch.
