You've probably heard about monoclonal antibodies—a therapeutic treatment that has been highly successful at treating COVID-19. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, for instance, aggressively championed the procedure in his state, which saw such promising results that even Dr. Anthony Fauci came out strongly in support of it.
Now, however, the Biden administration is announcing that it will begin rationing the treatment throughout the U.S., citing an alleged fear of shortages:
An HHS spokesperson said seven states have accounted for 70% of orders for the therapy. Those seven states are Florida, Texas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia and Louisiana.
"Given this reality, we must work to ensure our supply of these life-saving therapies remains available for all states and territories, not just some," the HHS spokesperson said.
The distribution, which is similar to a system employed earlier this year, will fall to HHS, which will allocate product to states and territories each week, rather administration sites ordering them directly.
But is the threat of shortages real? Texas Montgomery County Judge Mark Keough wrote on Facebook this week that there was, in fact, no looming shortfall of the drug:
As of yesterday the Biden Administration is metering how many doses of Regeneron are sent to Texas and thus limiting how many are sent to the Montgomery County location. Telling Texas to reduce its use of the therapeutic treatment that has literally been saving lives and reducing hospitalizations.
Now I'd like to think this is because of a supply issue and it will be temporary at best. But it's not. The manufacturer has confirmed supplies are ample but due to the Defense Production Act, the White House and it's agencies are the only entities who can purchase and distribute this treatment.
So less than a week after the president tells us his patience is wearing thin and he is mandating vaccines to millions of Americans his administration limits and all but removes a non-controversial and highly successful treatment from our war chest of combating this virus.
A spokesman for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services told CNN that the department "will determine the amount of product each state and territory receives on a weekly basis."

NO KIDDING! They should demand the pharmacies STOP blocking the prescriptions
Perhaps due to the jihadists we just got the spread of scabies has been overwhelming the state of Texas...
They’re reserving it for socialist politicians, perfumed princes at the Pentagram and big money lib donors.
If no one else is ordering MAB, then it makes sense that you ship to the customers who are ordering it.
Things are so insane.

e-mail the Gov and request that he purchase Ivermection & HCQ to be distributed freely for prevention of COVID-19

Yes, what would Biden do, send the Army to stop it?
Well, it is vitally important to kill off red state voters.
Or just throw them in jail, as the protesters on January 6 were put. Guess they are still in there, without legal representation ?
What has happened to America? The “land of the free?” Really?
Makes me incredibly sad.

I hope so!
Democrats - The Party of Death.
They will cheat, steal, maim, vandalize, burn, loot, and outright murder to maintain their grip on power.
They are evil incarnate.
So there is no supply issue at all - the Biden administration is just doing this out of spite. They are going to kill people to punish their political opponents.
This is evil and unacceptable.
A treatment I can get that is only 50% effective is better than a treatment I cannot get that is 95% effective.
That is the ugly game we are being forced into by our political rulers.
Of course I am arranging for both treatments for me and mine, if I can get them.
And if I lose any family members in spite of best efforts, it will be time for "Plan R".
Biden’s Banana Republic is killing people.
If I were Biden, I wouldn’t eff with DeSantis. DeSantis has balls and his brains are bigger than his balls.
Yeah, when Raggedy Ann was questioned about this she denied that Florida was being rationed.
She said there is not an unlimited supply, and the distribution should be ‘equitable’, so Florida can’t be supplied at the expense of Oklahoma. (Cleverly using another red state in her example...)
Pffft. Sounds like another fake Oklahoma story to me.
Forced migration of infected illegal immigrants into red states is biological warfare conducted by the DC ruling class.
Guess they learned well from their masters the CCP
I’m sure all those new Christian Science converts waving their phony religious exemptions will line up for this.
“Xiden’s not only crazy, he’s a f@cking murderer!”
“Mass-murderer” perhaps?
The evil one must have unlimited storage space, plenty of dems.
They are legion.
Ivermectin is not a substitute. The use cases are different. Ivermectin seems to work best as a prophylactic. The monoclonal antibody treatment is a therapy for those already ill.
