FDA Closes Monoclonal Antibody Clinics In Florida, DeSantis Seeks Reversal
The Washington Examiner ^ | 01/25/22 | Christopher Hutton

Posted on 01/25/2022 7:13:28 AM PST by Enlightened1

Monoclonal antibody sites throughout Florida will be closed after the Food and Drug Administration adjusted its authorization for the COVID-19 treatment.

The new FDA policy only allows those "likely to have been infected with or exposed to a variant that is susceptible to these treatments" to receive the new medication, despite Florida's leadership advocating for its use among the populace.

"This indefensible edict takes treatment out of the hands of medical professionals and will cost some Americans their lives," Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said in a Monday statement. "There are real-world implications to Biden's medical authoritarianism — Americans' access to treatments is now subject to the whims of a failing president."

DeSantis is demanding that the Biden administration reverse the decision.

The FDA says that its reversal of the treatment's authorization is because the treatments are "highly unlikely to be active against the omicron variant," which was considered the dominant strain at one point.

"Florida disagrees with the decision that blocks access to any available treatments in the absence of clinical evidence," the state health department said in a press release.

The authorization reversal comes weeks after Florida secured 15,000 doses of monoclonal treatment. DeSantis has regularly advocated for the use of monoclonal antibodies to help residents treat COVID-19 over the emphasis on vaccines. However, early data released in December led researchers to believe that monoclonal antibodies are less effective against the omicron variant.

Monoclonal antibodies are an artificial form of antibodies that provides the body with new defenses against a particular infectious disease, according to the Department of Health and Human Services. While vaccines can provide the body with the means to produce natural antibodies, monoclonal antibodies are a faster solution that can help supplement but not replace an individual's need to develop immunity to a disease.

They say it is because their data shows the treatment is not useful against Omnicron.

Even if this is true (and that is doubtful) it is more evil directions. So if you get non-Omnicron they do not care if you die. This treatment is now nullified.

Why is the useless federal government involved in any of this? This should strictly be a doctor’s decision.

oh oh
Florida was supposed to only received
the most noxious of the
disease-inducing-death-inducing “vax-nanomaterials”.

no preventative meds.
no therapeutic meds.
... only death without informed consent
... only mandates by the FDA
having been paid $$$$$$$$$$$$,
lambos, and promises for transfer
to BIGpharms Boards (as in the past).

I think they call this regulatory capture. Burn down current FDA and rebuild.

Nullification. Asking the Fed to reverse their decision is the wrong tactic. The point is that the Fed shouldn't be trying to govern the states from on high. Tell the Fed to pound sand and nullify the Agency's edict.

This is ridiculous and political.

My friend just got this treatment and is now better. She has health issues, and was triple vaxxed and still caught Covid.

Apparently, vaccination is their only “allowed” treatment, which doesn’t work.

But monoclonal antibody treatment actually works, so it MUST be stopped!

Basically, they’re hoping more people die.

Well then the FDA should also pull the EUA for the Vaccines as well because according the Pfizer CEO they don’t work against Omicron either.

Shouldn’t the FDA then remove the EUA for the “vaccines” that are not vaccines because of the same reasoning stated of “highly unlikely to be active against the omicron variant,”?

The treatment should be decided by doctor and patient, not micro managed by bureaucrats in Washington. If the reason is that monoclonals don’t work against omicron, then why are they pushing vaccine boosters that don’t work against omicron? Is this political or what?

The “vaccines” have become less than worthless against any of the current variants. And with effective treatments and protocol which have now been available for months their EAU should have been pulled. The FDA and the CDC have both become political tools of the Democrats and have lost all credibility.

Just like hydroxychloriquine and ivermectin, if administered by a doctor, if the monoclonal antibody treatments cause no harm, why ban their use?

This is sinister.
