Why would he authorize the use of less reliable therapeutics when he is directly dealing with the makers of monoclonals. As he has liberalized this treatment Florida numbers have fallen.
It would prefer that the governor does as he has been doing — being actually guided by the science and rolling out treatments that are better than a craps shot.
And Biden (or whoever is behind the idiot) knows this and that’s why he has restricted Florida’s access to monoclonal antibodies, reducing our supply by half as punishment. DeSantis has gone ahead and found a different manufacturer from whom Florida can but it directly, but Biden should be held up to scorn and protest and possible legal action for his vindictive politics that cost Floridian lives because he sees us as the enemy.
Because experience in both India and Africa, as well as multiple studies, show that Ivermectin is a useful therapeutic. In any case, the decision should be between a patient and his doctor.
When one is in a war, one uses all the military.
Similarly, in the war against this virus, one uses all the treatments.

The problem is we don’t get all the facts. We get the facts that the CDC decides we can have. And then we get lots of lies and made-up-stuff (which takes time to process).
So, to answer your question: My body, my choice.
Because trying something that is MAYBE less than reliable is better than the nothing that doctors are sending their patients home to do until they are at such an advanced stage of illness that they need the ER and likely ICU.
And that is medical negligence and malpractice and reprehensible.
Besides, doctors do not own the patients. They are not the patients parents.
If the patient is willing to try something that at the very least will not harm them and may help, why should the doctor have his hands tied by the government and not be able to do it?
The government in control of the medical community is the fox guarding the henhouse. They have no medical experience and in passing their dictates interfering with the patient/doctor relationship is practicing medicine without a license.
And why should we trust a government that can’t even run a competent DMV or post office with managing our healthcare and healthcare decisions?
The good news is that he recovered! He is vaccinated.
It's quite strange that you are my best source of (anecdotal) data about the percentage of pts who end up on your hospital units: vaccinated vs unvaccinated. Where else but on FR can one get these reports?
