Earlier today Florida Governor Ron DeSantis responded to the Biden administration’s political effort to stop Floridians from receiving COVID-19 treatment. [Press Release Here] …”the appointments for more than 2,000 Floridians to receive this treatment were canceled on January 25, 2022, alone”…
Late yesterday evening, without notice, the Biden FDA blocked monoclonal antibody treatments by revoking the emergency use authorization for the therapeutic. Today thousands of Floridians wake up to hear they are no longer eligible for treatment. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is furious. WATCH:
FLORIDA – Governor Ron DeSantis is demanding the Biden Administration reverse its sudden and reckless decision to revoke emergency use authorization (EUA) for Regeneron and Eli Lilly monoclonal antibody treatments. This abrupt and unilateral action by the Biden Administration will prevent access to lifesaving treatments for Floridians and Americans.
“Without a shred of clinical data to support this action, Biden has forced trained medical professionals to choose between treating their patients or breaking the law,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “This indefensible edict takes treatment out of the hands of medical professionals and will cost some Americans their lives. There are real-world implications to Biden’s medical authoritarianism – Americans’ access to treatments is now subject to the whims of a failing president.”
“Rather than giving Americans the option for various COVID treatments, the FDA and the Biden Administration issued their royal decree, taking away the very thing that is proven to reduce hospitalizations and save lives,” said Lieutenant Governor Jeanette Nuñez. “Monoclonal antibody treatments like Regeneron have had a positive impact for thousands of Floridians. For the CDC and FDA, which have been consistently inconsistent throughout the entire pandemic, to restrict treatment does nothing but put individuals at risk.”
“In our field of medicine, when someone comes to you seeking a treatment that could save their life, it is essential to have treatment options to ensure health care providers can make the best decisions for their patients,” said Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo. “The Federal Government has failed to adequately provide the United States with adequate outpatient treatment options for COVID-19. Now, they are scrambling to cover up a failure to deliver on a promise to ‘shut down the virus.’”
As a result of this abrupt and clinically unsupported action, the appointments for more than 2,000 Floridians to receive this treatment were canceled on January 25, 2022, alone. This decision was made solely by Biden’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA) without advance warning to states or health providers and without clinical data to support the decision. The deliberate decision by the Biden Administration to make this announcement effective immediately, through a press release, actively prevents states and health care providers from making real-time operational decisions that save lives.
Over the course of the past two years, scientists and researchers across the nation have worked hard to bring us treatments that are both safe and effective. One of these treatments has been monoclonal antibodies. This treatment has saved thousands of lives in Florida and across our nation.
There are 32 GOP Governors in the USA.
What have the other 31 GOP Governors done today except have a lunch paid by their corporate donors??????
Will our Florida local MSM even show us this Governor ??
Local FL media claims it’s only two “ineffective” monoclonals and there’s others available
Start making them in Florida
Regrettably that is the plan. Kill People and Babies. Been happening for decades
That would work. Great Idea
I call this action premeditated murder.
I was one of those canceled appointments. My doctor said no matter what don’t go to a hospital that uses resmidver.
Plus big corrupt govn makes other treatments unavailable also…must take the jab and remdesivir…order the tombstone…
Can I infer that these monoclonal antibodies were good against the Delta Covid which is still going around by the way.
He needs to be our next President. He’s the only one standing up to this.
The liberals in Florida hate him, btw. I live in Jax, where our RINO mayor was horrible but has come around. However, all the loonies (many of which are young males) have gone back to their snout covers and are glaring at those of us who don’t wear them.
That would be the unmasked majority, since they’re not required anywhere here...but the masked left is fighting to keep the masks and impose them on others.
I think it’s kind of a class thing. The “liberal mask class” is white female retirees, young white males and some females, and basically what we would call the “laptop class,” i.e, work from home.
The “masked servant class,” on the other hand, keeps on bagging your groceries.
It’s not good enough to say “the FDA blocked”. We need names. Who signed whatever document applies? Way too often we get these anonymous proclamations that should be ignored until an actual peeple puts his real name on it. I’ve said the same thing about “mandates.” I want to know whose porch to leave a flaming bag on?
I like that!
Start dispensing ivermectin
Manslaughter
So monoclonal are bad but ONLY in Florida?
Yep. Govt agencies do nothing. The people in them do.
So the resident has declared every case to be oh-my-chorn and therefore not subject to effective treatment by MCA, something that has worked with great success for many that I know.
Just great.
MCA was one of the things I have figured was our ace in the hole if we ever got really sick with the CCP virus.
Thanks plugs, your omnipotence.
I hear snuffling when I walk by them.
The Florida legislature should follow the lead of New Hampshire, but go one step further and make it illegal for any pharmacy to refuse filling a valid prescription for ivermectin.
