Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said that he was “very, very concerned” with Democrat President Joe Biden’s decision to restrict the distribution of monoclonal antibodies to states amid a surge in demand by states in the South.
“Just last week on September 9th, President Joe Biden said that his administration would be increasing shipments of monoclonal antibodies in September by 50%, and yet on September 13th, HHS announced that it was seizing control of the monoclonal antibody supply and that it would control distribution, and then on September 14th, the announcement was more than 50% of the monoclonal antibodies that had been used in Florida were going to be reduced,” DeSantis said. “So this is a dramatic reduction, and I’d say it’s doubly problematic because what Shane Strum and folks in Tampa General and these other hospital systems that have been doing this, they’re not getting it from the state.”
What the HHS and the Biden administration is now doing is they’re saying that all of the reduced amount will go to the state, and we’re responsible not only 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, and to just spring this on us starting next week, we’re going to have to do that,” DeSantis continued. “There’s going to be a huge disruption and patients are going to suffer as a result of this.” DeSantis said that he is going to “work like hell to make sure” that Florida “can overcome the obstacles that HHS and the Biden administration” are imposing on the state, adding that the treatment has saved lives in the state.
“To just kind of pull the rug out from anyone a week after the president himself said they were going to be increasing the distributions by 50%, it’s very, very problematic,” DeSantis said. “What I am doing though, is we’re going to try to cover the bases.” DeSantis stated that he had a call yesterday with GlaxoSmithKline executives and he thinks that Florida is going to be able to order their new monoclonal antibody directly from the company so he won’t have to deal with Biden’s restriction on the life-saving treatment.
Donald Trump Jr. responded to the news from the Biden administration by saying that Biden was restricting the treatments as a form of punishment against his political rivals.
“Americans will die because of Biden’s despicable decision to punish his political enemies in red states by restricting their ability to secure life-saving monoclonal antibody treatments for all that need them,” Trump tweeted. “Their blood is directly on Joe’s hands.”
"Antibody treatments aren’t a substitute for vaccines But they have prevented thousands of hospitalizations including in breakthrough cases,” Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) added on Twitter. “Now in a move that reeks of partisan payback against states like Florida, the Biden administration is rationing these treatments.”
The FED A-holes are not familiar with the concept.
Buy ivermectin, Vitamin C and zinc. Give a ten day supply to everyone who tests positive for Covid. This will shut things down and the virus and get past all the vaccine mandates and lockdowns.
It isn’t enough that the Democrat party is choosing who wins elections and who is allowed to enter the country. Now they are choosing who will live and die.
RE: Buy ivermectin, Vitamin C and zinc.
There’s also a concerted effort to PREVENT pharmacies from dispensing Ivermectin for Covid, assuming you can even find a doctor willing to prescribe it for Covid in your state.
It can't be more crystal clear what's happening here: They want to destroy DeSantis' viability as a future political candidate and they're willing to kill Floridians to make him look bad in order to get that done. It's stone cold evil.
And anyone holding out hope that within the bureaucracy will look an an order to in effect kill US citizens by denying them necessary healthcare and say "no I will not do that! it's illegal and immoral!" should change their views. Death panels are a real thing that will happen in this country eventually if the left ever has a say in it and the government drones will rubber stamp the orders and carry them out without question.
"Dear Gov. Abbott and Gov. DeSantis,Take every penny that Texas and Florida received from CARES and American Rescue, and quietly buy REGEN-COV-2 on the open market.
When you have stockpiled 2M doses for FL and 2.5M for Texas, continue quietly buying and distribute to Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, and Georgia. (And South Carolina!)
When each of those populations are inventoried for the winter, reveal your accomplishment and yet continue buying and distributing to red states, drive the price through the goddamn roof and teach that son-of-a-bitch a lesson."

Good luck.
They may call out the National Guard and put a fence around
Florida.
(Waits patiently for someone in the FDA to tell GSK that none of their future drugs will EVER get approved if they sell antibody treatments to the state of Florida).
That’s how this works in banana republics, right?
Reminds me of when Obama slow walked disaster aid to Texas because they didn’t believe in global warming.

Were they to do that, I would NOT want to be a serving NG member.
Biden is a scumbag. This is a dirty trick and he should not play with peoples’ lives.
Give them the Regeneron and stop playing partisan games.

Socialized medicine is upon us.
Remember these are the same Democrats whose favorite phrase is “...if it saves just one life!”, then they turn around and do this.
It’s available on Amazon as either flavored paste or in pill form.
I LOVE this man.
He STAYS ON OFFENSE!!!!
So important, yet few Rs us it.
DeSantis is an hero. Maybe future historians will rank him with founding fathers.
The MSM was trying to put a negative spin on this. Of course.
