Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Responds to Biden Administration Effort to Block COVID Treatments and Kill Floridians
Conservative Treehouse ^ | 1/25/2022 | sundance

Posted on 01/25/2022 3:05:07 PM PST by Presbyterian Reporter

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.

Yes, I believe that was the strain I had.

I was one of those canceled appointments. My doctor said no matter what don’t go to a hospital that uses resmidver.

Is that one of the other drugs the FDA says to use instead, or is that one of the ones that Biden banned?

Far as I know.

That’s all of them.

That would be a perfect response for the governor. By executive decree make ivermectin available over the counter in Florida.

It’s that one that killed half the humans on trials.

It’s also linked to fauxchi and his bank account.

It and a vent is a sure way to end up dead.

The FDA revoked the EUA for Regeneron and Eli Lily mAb therapies as those two specifically have near zero effectiveness against omicron. They did not revoke the EUA for Sotrovimab which has diminished effects on Omc but not near zero like the other two. Given that the dominant 99.5% of cases now are the much more transmission prone omicron strain the shift should be to these others that work on that. There is another approved one as well. Both are in short supply due to the huge surge in omicron cases and the demand for those two mAb

“Evusheld, developed by Astra-Zeneca, is a combination of two antibodies tixagevimab and cilgavimab, both of which were isolated from Covid-19 patients. “

Have we found the anti-Christ? It’s Obama that’s pulling the strings and I suspected him from the start.

This is what our government has done from the very beginning — outlaw all early treatments and prophylactics.

They pushed the jabs and only the jabs. They never supported anything “warp speed” other than the jabs and patient drowning ventilators manufacturing.

They outlawed visitation and attorneys for patients while ordering only organ destroying Remdisivir and patient drowning ventilators.

Our medical community complied enthusiastically, with very few exceptions.

Our politicians did everything to exacerbate the pandemic rather that stop it. Nothing was done to treat people and everything was done to increase deaths and cases. Even the variant increasing jabs and fake masks were designed and implemented to do just that, increase deaths and cases.

Sick.

The Florida legislature should follow the lead of New Hampshire.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

What did New Hampshire do? Emperor Sununu is a pro jab rino.

He needs to be our next President. He’s the only one standing up to this

What we really needed was somebody to stand up for Ivermectin. DeSantis, Trump, nobody has done it. And it’s disgraceful. Makes one really wonder how deep the tentacles of big pharma go.

I call this action premeditated murder.
********************************************

It is nothing less. I hope De Santis is powerful enough to initiate what needs to be done. I think the university groups working with monoclonal antibodies, etc. and knowing other ways of fighting this grossly illegal method of killing people shopuld be openly encouraged to develop what is needed.

“””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.”””


The problem with the New Hampshire plan is the doctors who are following the orders given them by CDC, FDA, and NIH.

Too many doctors are cowards. The doctors are refusing to prescribe ivermectin.

They say it’s because less effective against Omicron- but they’re playing God denying it because no one is actually TESTED for Omicron so seems reckless to me to deny the treatment-Russian roulette with life again. If it won’t hurt and could help why-oh wait — like Ivermectin or HCQ /s

Biden is a mean, vindictive, angry, stupid man. With very thin skin. Desantis gets under his skin with ease. Therefore Brandon seeks to punish sick people here in FL.

Here one source among many about the details of the NH initiative:
https://www.janethull.com/healthynews/blog/2022/01/new-hampshire-ivermectin-bill/

Either Gov DeSantis should issue an EO to make IV and HCQ available to anyone without prescription if they have positive Covid tests, or the Florida legislature needs to act immediately. It’s going to save lives.

Resmidver or something spelled similar. Do not let them use it no matter what is what I was told. So home I sit.

It’s not effective against Omicron? Well, neither are the vaccines. Give people Hydroxichloroquin and Ivermectin instead.
