A Texas man has been denied monoclonal antibody treatment for covid because he is white.
Earlier this year, the Texas Health and Human Services department (HHS) made monoclonal antibody treatments available to COVID patients following its Emergency Use Authorization by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in February.
The state has issued tens of thousands of monoclonal antibody treatments over the past several months, but recently, thanks to a supply shortage spurred by the Biden administration, the agency has begun segregating who can receive the treatment based solely on the color of their skin.
Now, the state is only providing the treatments to “high-risk ethnicity groups,” while actively refusing to provide the same care to whites who have been diagnosed with Covid.

The person denied the treatment recorded it on his cell phone in the hospital room.
As far as I know..there is no protocol...like this in my community
Not over 65, Not BMI over 25%, Not diabetic, No other high risks, Not Black or Hispanic so I did not qualify under their protocol in my state and was denied access
I strangely and unexpectedly had a dramatic short term drop in height and substantial gain in weigh
Drop in height???
Ummmm...weird.
But a lot of this sheet going in this country is weird. Hope you are well....
Go get the infusion from private sources, now he has damages.
This happened to my neighbors’ son as well, he did not meet their criteria by age or BMI, even though he was very sick.
Here are the criteria for the infusion center near me:
Based on evaluation, potential candidates for mAb include COVID-19 positive adults and pediatric patients (age 12–17 years and weighing at least 40 kg) who meet the following criteria for higher-risk progression to severe COVID-19:
65 years of age or older.
Adult with a BMI >25 kg/m2, or pediatric patients age 12–17 with a BMI ≥85th percentile.
Pregnancy.
Chronic kidney disease.
Diabetes.
Immunosuppressive disease or immunosuppressive treatment.
Cardiovascular disease including congenital heart disease or hypertension.
Chronic lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma (moderate-to-severe), interstitial lung disease, cystic fibrosis and pulmonary hypertension.
Sickle cell disease.
Neurodevelopmental disorders such as cerebral palsy or other conditions that confer medical complexity like genetic or metabolic syndromes and severe congenital anomalies.
Having a medical-related technological dependence such as a tracheostomy, gastrostomy, or positive pressure ventilation (not related to COVID-19).
Other medical conditions or factors such as race or ethnicity may also place individual patients at high risk for progression to severe COVID-19.
I work in health care too, in an ER. Been exposed to this filthy thing four times. Been jabbed. No complications.
Still on two feet and breathing. Compared to where we were at my hospital (southern NJ) this time last year it’s been a major improvement.
Bass Turds.
I won’t forget.
NH was denying COVID shots to white people, and one man filed a lawsuit.
Of course, you can look at NH’s policy a different way: If I were a quote-unquote “POC,” I wouldn’t trust an experimental shot only given to people like me.
But, TX is denying COVID treatment based on race? That’s a whole different ballgame. Someone needs to file a lawsuit.
Whatever...I’m glad for you.
Good....be well.
Reversing the situation often provides insight into whether something is right or wrong. Many times it becomes clear that people would be appalled if the situation was reversed.
The requirements are open to all now…
The restrictions for “high risk” only were dropped a long time ago
There happens to be a solution…since high blood pressure qualifies you for the antibodies. Just yell Lets Go Biden twenty times and ask them to remeasure your blood pressure.
Likewise.
My brother in law got them recently and he has no underlying conditions but minor arthritis. At first they refused but his doctor said to tell them his doc is recommending it.
The restrictions may be removed in some areas , maybe even mine now. My experience was early September this year. It also coincided with a crack down on Docs prescribing pharmaceutical Ivermectine and the pharmacists who fill the prescriptions. VERY disappointed my government policy driven covid experience. Got the distinct impression they were trying to kill me and have an evidence based roof they could care less if I lived or died. I will be remembering this come every election day for the rest of my life and voting accordingly.
Hubby and I got the MAB shots (4 shots each) in mid-September. I don’t know if they were effective overall ‘cause you don’t know what would’ve happened without them. The day after that we felt much worse, and even worse the day after that. It was grim. The next day I scored some Ivermectin (Hubby refused), and there was noticeable improvement 12 hours later. Hubby recovered, but it took longer. We’re both in our 70s.
I got my MAB as an infusion. When I hit the ER, I was so dehydrated that they hooked me up to IV fluids. Went through 2 bags of saline, and they just added a bag of the MAB after I had been there for a few hours. Got quick relief. I’m 70 also.
