Biden Administration Send Less than Half the Lifesaving Antibody Treatment Needed to Florida

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?”

Someone is apparently doing it with Ivermectin too. Three months ago no problem in getting a three months supply of it. Now can only get a two week supple and if I want more they don’t have in stock or it will be $196 fro the 120 day supply - duh ah,,,,,2-3 cents each in india?????????? Last month was $14.95 for 120 tabs.

DeSantis saying he's going to go directly to the source (Glaxo-SmithKline) to buy this therapy. Can't wait to see how the iron fist of Joe's government pressures GSK into not allowing direct purchase.

There is no supply problem.

They are cutting supply to hit political opponents.

This is flat out evil.

[Republican Wildcat]

if anyone dies as a result of this, DeSantis should have a grand jury impaneled to indict those who made this decision in the administration for murder.

What can we do about it? I’ve written my congressman, senators, and my governor. I’ve even written my state attorney general asking if we can file for an injunction. What else do we need to do?

[Jane Long]

I guess he can only get/order what BigGovPharma allows? No other sources?

Just curious.

Anyone know?

[Republican Wildcat]

Agree - same thing should be done with funding education to avoid the federal strings.

[Republican Wildcat]

Biden is claiming jurisdiction over it through the National Defense Authorization Act per the article about Texas’ reaction.

I would think legally that can only apply to the Federal supply, but they will probably use it to claim it is a national emergency to claim jurisdiction over all supplies.

But also per the Texas article, there is no supply problem and this is simply being done out of spite.

[catnipman]

yep, the fascist left is now officially denying medical care to their political opponents ...

Well.....he/DeSantis must've read my post.....that was fast!

Florida’s DeSantis Responds to Biden Limiting Florida COVID Therapeutics – Announces Monoclonal Antibody Purchases Directly From Glaxo Smith Kline

September 16, 2021 | Sundance | 107 Comments

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis responded directly to the White House effort to kill Florida residents by withholding previously agreed shipments of Monoclonal Antibodies.

During a press conference earlier today, Governor DeSantis outlined the issues Florida is facing after the Biden administration instructed the federal offices of HHS to punish the successful therapy and recovery efforts of the sunshine state healthcare system.  DeSantis outlines the purchase agreement that Biden intentionally violated and also the issues created by the federal government now blocking direct purchasing of treatment from the manufacturer.

Additionally, DeSantis noted he has held meetings with ¹GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) to purchase mAb shipments directly from the second source manufacturer in order to work around the roadblocks being presented by the Biden administration.  DeSantis reaffirmed his commitment to stand in the way, and not allow Joe Biden to kill Americans just because he doesn’t like their politics.

Almost wish he had not announced it until after the purchase was completed and the supplies received...they might try to intercept it.
