YOU WILL NOT CONTROL MY WU-FLU

The federal government slashed in half the number of doses of the monoclonal antibodies therapy shipped to Florida from 30,000 to 15,000 this week, according to Gov. Ron DeSantis (R).
DeSantis said the 15,000 dozen received would be “immediately utilized to support new monoclonal antibody sites.”
“But for the federal government’s decision to restrict supply of monoclonal antibody treatment to Florida, my administration would have already opened additional monoclonal antibody treatment sites throughout the state,” DeSantis said in a press release.
The governor said that before the Biden administration “seized control of the monoclonal supply” Florida was administering 30,000 doses per week to infected patients. The treatment saved “countless lives,” he said.
“The Biden Administration is still obstructing the state of Florida’s ability to manage our own supply of monoclonal antibodies and I will continue to seek additional doses for Floridians,” he said.
The Epoch Times reported Jan. 3 that the U.S. Health and Human Services Administration had relaxed its policies on limiting the monoclonal antibody drugs paving the way for Florida to receive 30,000 treatments. The plan for those doses was to set up new treatment centers in high-need areas throughout south and central Florida.
DeSantis alleged the limits the HHS had set for Florida were “political.”
“The federal government has cornered the entire market of monoclonal,” he said in a press conference on Jan. 3.
“We’ve got the infrastructure in place. It’s just a matter of the federal government giving us more doses … for the Floridians who need it.”
The governor asked the state legislature to set aside almost $1 billion to aid in fighting COVID-19 and making monoclonal antibodies available to “every Floridian who needed it.”
But because the federal government has a contractual agreement with the makers of the monoclonal antibody treatments, it has “locked out” anyone else from buying the product, the governor said.
“We will rapidly deploy the 15,000 doses that we now have secured,” he said. “The Biden Administration commandeered the supply and distribution of monoclonal antibodies following Florida’s successful deployment of the treatment last summer and drastically cut shipments of the treatments to the state.”
The announcement of the shortfall in monoclonal antibody treatments comes one day after the governor made remarks about the Jan. 6 anniversary and how “corporate media” and Washington would celebrate the day as “their Christmas.”
“They are going to take this and milk this for anything they could to try to be able to smear Donald Trump,” he told reporters on Jan. 6.
Requests from the governor’s office on why they think Florida was shortchanged on the treatment drug were not answered by press time.
will aoc get the antibodies?
All politics, all the time.
Such sleaze.
democrats play politics to create destruction and deaths
Are there no MCA factory/Labs in Fla.?
Well, there SHOULD be.
We are discontinuing all MAB except sotrovimab tomorrow. Paxlovid is up and running, and outpatient IV remdesivir by mid week.
At or near 100% omicron, it’s not responsible to keep giving Regeneron.
Government run healthcare always kills.
Yeah don’t worry about Obamacare the democrats would never deny medical care to their enemies.
As if he should have the power to do this...
This is one sick twisted destructive racist pedophilic and lost in the space
between biden’s ears administration.
Are people in patients for omicron?
“will aoc get the antibodies?”
Yes, if she wants them.
Where is the Headline:
Desantis orders 10,000 pounds of Ivermectin, enough for all residents of Florida??
Not a decent bone in that old pervet’s body.
This is a crime against humanity, and the perpetrators should be identified and hanged. All of them.
Der Fuhrer has spoken. And they called Trump a dictator.
They just want to “date” her….
FDR was handing out buckets of money in California counties that had no starvation problems because he needed votes in those counties. At the same time there was real starvation in the Ozarks which got pitifully little money, this because FDR had strong support there. People were dying from this too. But, politics trumps all else.
Nothing has changed.
However, it took generations of study to find out all of the horrible thing’s FDR did that prolonged suffering. Today, we’ll know all about what Biden has done well in time for the next election. I really want to see guys like Biden and Cuomo brought to justice.
“outpatient IV remdesivir”
I thought remdesivir has been proven ineffective in many studies and causes serious kidney damage.
What’s the supply of sotrovimab like? Is GSK ramping up production?
