White House Peddles False Claim about Low Vaccination Rates in Florida, Texas (to curb the supply of monoclonal antibodies)
National Review ^ | September 17, 2021 | Isaac Schorr

Posted on 09/17/2021 11:53:32 AM PDT by karpov

White House press secretary Jen Psaki is using a misleading argument about COVID-19 vaccination rates in Florida and Texas to justify the Biden administration’s decision to curb the supply of monoclonal antibodies — an effective treatment option for COVID-19 — being distributed to these states.

The federal government has only recently decided to take over the distribution of the antibody treatments, which Florida governor Ron DeSantis was an early proponent of. Abruptly, the federal Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced on Tuesday that it would be cutting the supply provided to Florida. The administration “did not provide any indication of any upcoming limitation to supply,” during communications between the state and department the day prior, according to DeSantis’s press secretary Christina Pushaw.

The decision to begin rationing doses marks a departure from the policy articulated by the administration earlier this month. On September 8, Dr. John Redd, chief medical officer for HHS’s emergency preparedness and response office, insisted that “we have not transitioned back to an allocation process.”

Psaki defended the reversal by arguing that it is the administration’s job to provide for an equitable distribution of the treatments among the states. She also erroneously cited low vaccination rates in Florida and Texas as the reason for a recent surge in cases in those states.

On Thursday, she asserted that “monoclonal antibodies are lifesaving therapies that are used after infection to prevent more severe outcomes. So clearly the way to protect people and save more lives is to get them vaccinated so that they don’t get COVID to begin with."

Is Biden going to deny covid medicines to states with Republican governors that could run against him in 2024? I may be paranoid, but that's what this sounds like.

Absolutely he is.

Biden promised to “roll over” governors that fought his decree.

When is all this crap going to be shoved up the rectums of Biden, or whoever this POS is; up the rectums of the US Congress; shoved up the rectums of every treasonous bastard in office including the moles in our government agencies?

Welcome to Nazi Germany 1933-1945.

It takes 4-6 weeks for a vaccine to be at effective strength (if it works) Antibody treatment works within days.

Biden got a taste of killing Americans at the Tabul airport… and HE LIKED IT. He wants to continue the murders (but on a far broader scale) by depriving infected Southerners of needed COVID-19 treatment medications.

This attitude is what “free healthcare for all” will be like. Align with Biden and you can have the bypass surgery. Question the dems or think for yourself and you cannot have the bypass surgery.

If they are not already there (and eerily similar to the way the votes were counted last November), soon they will have NO RECORDS or DATA related to anything of COVID cases, deaths, vaccinations, hospitalizations, etc., that bears enough truth to be valid for drawing ANY scientific conclusions.

As they go along and adjust all the numbers to suit their narrative of the day... the integrity of any of the statistics is completely obliterated. IMO.

Are you saying dumping hundreds of thousands of diseased illegals in Red States isn't enough for pedo Biden and his merry troops of Pentagon traitors?

(They also want to deny us medicine?)

Yes.

Our only hope...no kidding...is if black people in these states fight back. Florida, Georgia and Texas have very large black populations (including some black majority cities) and blacks are extremely resistant to the pro-vaccine pressure. So they have a very low vaccination rate and thus are being punished as well by being denied the treatment that our Governors have made available.

It’s effective, blacks will go for the treatment but not the vaccine, and he is therefore punishing, discriminate against and killing black people.

“On Thursday, she asserted that “....the way to protect people and save more lives is to get them vaccinated so that they don’t get COVID to begin with.”

So now, again, the “vaccine” prevents infection from covid? Or does it just reduce the symptoms? They just can’t get their story straight for nothing.
