Horowitz: Now that vaccinated people need the monoclonal treatments, Biden admin and media attack the treatment

On Sept. 14, the Biden administration announced that the feds would be cutting the number of monoclonal treatments per week in the southern states and reallocating them as part of a broader plan to start rationing the treatments. For example, in Florida, HHS issued an allocation for the week of Sept. 13 of 3,100 doses of BAM/ETE treatments and 27,850 doses of REGN-COV. As Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said in a press conference last week, this would effectively reduce Florida's allocation by 50%. The federal agency did this without any warning or indication that there was a shortage.

Then, last Thursday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki explained the move as follows: "Our supply is not unlimited and we believe it should be equitable."

But wouldn't you focus on where it's needed at a given time rather than blind "equity"? Also, Biden promised just days earlier during the announcement of his vaccine mandate to boost monoclonal distribution by 50%.

Well, here is the answer to the enigma: In that same announcement, Biden warned, "If these governors won't help us beat the pandemic, I'll use my power as president to get them out of the way." Is the federal takeover of the monoclonals his ace in the hole? And why wouldn't the government just produce more? We have spent trillions of dollars on welfare, shutdowns, and vaccines that failed so miserably that people who already got the shots still need the monoclonals! So why not put the funding into the monoclonals?

It’s important too that one vaccination protects untold others as well as the patient, but monoclonal antibodies protect the patient alone.

Then why are the majority of people getting the treatment vaccinated?

Here are the statistics the Florida government publicized at last week's press conference:

At our Broward site, 52% of the patients that have received treatment have been vaccinated, 69% of those over 60 that have received treatment at the Broward site had been vaccinated. In Miami Dade almost 60% of everybody that's been treated at the Tropical Park site has been vaccinated. And 73% of the patients treated at the state site in Tropical Park that are over the age of 60 have been vaccinated.

And the countries with the lowest vaccination rates have the lowest case rates and death rates. Those with the highest vaccination rates have the highest case & death rates.

DeSantis keeps winning striking down any local mask rules.

The courts are backing him up.
