Biden Administration Send Less than Half the Lifesaving Antibody Treatment Needed to Florida
Breitbart ^ | 9/16/21 | HANNAH BLEAU

Posted on 09/16/2021 11:48:05 AM PDT by conservative98

The Biden administration this week slashed the doses of lifesaving coronavirus antibody treatment to Florida, giving the state less than half of what is needed for a routine week, prioritizing “equitable distribution” — a move some suspect is a form of revenge against Republican governors whom the president vowed to get “out of the way.”

The Biden administration this week began to cut the distribution of monoclonal antibodies to red states, such as Florida and Alabama, contending those states, including Texas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia, and Louisiana, are comprising too big a share of the supply in recent weeks — 70 percent.

“HHS will determine the amount of product each state and territory receives on a weekly basis,” a spokesman for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) said.

Christina Pushaw, press secretary for DeSantis, blasted the Biden administration’s move and suggested that “every corporate media outlet that publishes sensational stories about ‘overflowing hospitals’ in the South” should first “demand answers from the Biden Administration about why they’re restricting the supply of life saving COVID treatment to the South.”

“Supply of monoclonal antibody treatment to Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Texas & other Southern states restricted by Biden Admin with no real explanation besides ‘equity,’” she continued, asking, “How is it equitable to only send treatment for HALF the Floridians who need it, & NO state sites in Alabama?”

Some view Biden’s move as a form of revenge against Republican governors, as the president vowed during his divisive coronavirus speech this month to get certain governors who oppose his agenda “out of the way.”

Bloodthirsty tyrant. He should be in prison.

My primary doc yesterday (in NH) said yesterday that, if I was to contract Covid, monoclonal atibodies is what he would use.

Alex Jones and other conspiracy nuts proved 100% correct.

If this were Trump, a leftist judge would put the skids on it before he finished making the announcement.

So, tell me again, how many judges was it that PDJT appointed?

Is it reasonable for Florida to make it own?

It’s more like he is punishing red states for actually treating early. Blue states aren’t really treating with monoclonal antibodies as much, so this medicine is just going to sit there while patients who need it (vaccinated or not) in red states can’t get it.

“Is there any way for me to donate specifically to the states of Texas or Florida?”

Nope. You are thinking of “Convalescent Plasma” which does not work. Monoclonal Antibodies are made in a factory.

Biden is war criminal.
He must be impeached, arrested and made to stand trial.

Alternatively, can Florida and the other Southern states import it from overseas?

It’s a Hot War against Trump voters.

Some Trump voters are going to be killed by Marxist Medicine.

“Is it reasonable for Florida to make it own?”

Why not? Texas should as well. No state should have to rely on DC corruption for anything. Become self-sufficient and trade with states that share your views (more or less) of a Free Republic.

Socialized medicine, the Federal Government makes decisions based on politics and ordinary citizens have no recourse.

Anyone who thought the “starve them out, send them to camps” mentality was restricted to the more hysterical voices on Vox, Axios, and Politico, had better have another think. A government that seizes complete control of healthcare is a government that can withhold it, and will.

That’s what the plan is.

September 16, 2021

Gov. DeSantis says federal handling of monoclonal antibody treatments will cause hardship for Florida COVID-19 patients

“They’re saying that all of the reduced amount will go to the state, and we’re now responsible not for sourcing our sites, which we’re happy to do, but any infusion center, any provider, any hospital will have to come through the state,” DeSantis said. “And to just spring that on us starting next week — we’re gonna have to do that? There’s gonna be a huge disruption, and patients are gonna suffer as a result of this. And so we’re gonna work like hell.”
