Is Joe Biden trying to top the vile, cruel record of blue-state governors such as New York's Andrew Cuomo, who seeded COVID patients into the nursing homes?
It sure looks like it, given his strange, sudden, and absolute shutdown of monoclonal antibody treatments on patients who are being successfully being treated with the therapy in Florida. For vulnerable, sick people waiting in line for it, including those right up to the date of scheduled treatment, tough luck, go to the back of the line and see if you can find some other treatment, and hope your COVID does not progress to the morgue.
That's what Joe Biden is offering Florida, a red state that voted against him in 2020, that maybe, just maybe, he'd like to punish a little, not just for not voting for him but to erase its record of success on COVID. He seems to be out to punish Florida by ensuring that Florida's COVID death count descends to those of his favored blue states. Whatever Joe's motive here, there are no honorable answers as we explore this.
According to Fox News:
The Florida Department of Health announced that it is closing all monoclonal antibody treatment sites in the state after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration rescinded emergency-use authorizations for two particular treatments for COVID-19.
The FDA announced on Monday that it is no longer permitting the use of bamlanivimab and etesevimab (used together) as well as the combination of casirivimab and imdevimab known as REGEN-COV, or Regeneron.
"Unfortunately, as a result of this abrupt decision made by the federal government, all monoclonal antibody state sites will be closed until further notice," the Florida Department of Health said in a statement.

"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," DeSantis said in a statement. "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."
No clinical data. A sudden yanking, with zero time for patients to make alternate treatment arrangements. A bizarre claim that the treatments don't work, despite Florida's record of success. A death sentence to many.
What's the White House response to this ugly picture? Take a look at the grotesque Baghdad Bob-style responses from White House spokesweasel Jen Psaki to DeSantis's arguments:
Psaki responding to a question from AP's Josh Boak about Florida using monoclonal anti-bodies even though "they don't work against omicron": "Let's take a step back just to realize how crazy this is...The ones...[DeSantis] is fighting over do not work...& they have side-effects." pic.twitter.com/WWbLGootJW — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) January 25, 2022
The treatments don't work? No clinical data? But they do work, just look at Florida's results. The line that springs to mind is Galileo's: 'Eppur se muove.'
It gets worse:

In other words, "put some ice on it," as Bill Clinton used to say.
DeSantis has pointed out that most patients Florida is treating already have been vaccinated. To offer vaccines as a solution then is beyond insulting -- to patients, to medical personnel, to DeSantis, and to anyone with a grip on reality. The vaxxed are the ones coming down with the COVID. Her solution to them is 'more vaxxes,' which is the same as saying 'go die for me and don't be a problem.'
She later claimed that the White House sent other treatments, which in other reports was the Merck pill, which is unsafe for pregnant women, not to be used unless other treatments can't be used, and apparently no one wants because of its weak record of effectiveness against COVID, which is another insult.
Suffice to say, no normal leader or medical professional would pull a treatment from patients waiting in line or in the midst of treatments, particularly if that's the treatment they want. That's inhuman. That's vile. And as DeSantis points out, some people are going to die.
Should and when that happens, you can bet that the survivors are going to remember this. The Biden administration may think it's getting rid of old-people voters but there will be survivors who remember the last-minute denial of the treatment and aren't going to like it. What's more, who comes down with COVID the most? The obese, the diabetics, those with co-morbidities, and that pool disproproportionately includes black and Latino people. That should be an impressive selling point as Democrats seek to win back Florida.
But it offends everyone. The treatment was working. To claim it wasn't is a lie. The alternatives don't, to claim they do is another lie. And to tell sick vaccinated COVID patients who still have caught the disease that they need to get vaccinated is beyond insulting. They already know that the vaccines don't work, so to take away a treatment that does, and dismissively tell them to get vaxxed is something bordering evil.
What are these treatments? According to the Florida Department of Health:
Monoclonal antibody therapy can prevent severe illness, hospitalization and death in high-risk patients who have contracted or been exposed to COVID-19. These treatments are widely available in Florida.
OK, here’s my question: WHY IS FLORIDA, A SOVEREIGN STATE UNDER THE 10TH AMENDMENT, STILL DEPENDING ON WASHINGTON DC FOR HER MEDICAL SUPPLIES?
Why can’t DeSantis negotiate directly with Regeneron and Eli Lilly and bypass the FDA altogether? I don’t think this violates the constitution at all.
Uncontested election theft has consequences...
Pretty darn evil.
But, hey, at least all the moronic soccer moms across the fruited plain are happy; no more mean tweets. Idiots.
How does one know they are Covid Patients? The PCR test is a LIE. How does the Hospital or Clinic know if it is Omicron?
There are only a few labs in the United States that can perform the genomic testing needed to find a variant. The PCR testing for regular Sars-Cov-2 also requires an additional genomic sequencing that most labs cannot perform and have not perform for the past two years.
On top of that most labs are highly inexperienced in PCR but forced to run it due to the massive demand for hundreds of millions of Covid tests.
The only real way to test for any variant is in a lab with a Gene Sequencing machine, there are no tests for specific variants in a clinic or hospital........NONE!!!!!!!
ALL THINGS COVID ARE A LIE.................100% of it
Any civilized change would have a grandfather provision in it.
biden NOPE — DOPE
Why is the useless federal government even involved in this?
This should strictly be a decision between a doctor and patient.
I would consider dropping over from a heart failure after the VAX a SIDE EFFECT——
“ OK, here’s my question: WHY IS FLORIDA, A SOVEREIGN STATE UNDER THE 10TH AMENDMENT, STILL DEPENDING ON WASHINGTON DC FOR HER MEDICAL SUPPLIES?”
It seems that Biden started buying up the entire supply so that there physically isn’t any left to sell. They probably also threatened the producers in some way
Why can’t DeSantis negotiate directly with Regeneron and Eli Lilly and bypass the FDA altogether?
He tried, the Feds have dibs on it all.
This is why monoclonal antibody treatment was sh!t-canned by the FDA earlier this week because it was being considered by more and more doctors as an alternative to the still-unapproved “vaccines”.
It is clear the “medical industry” has abandoned all pretense of practicing medicine, following science and behaving humanely toward sick people who need their help.
It’s not for just Florida. The FDA pulled the EUA for monoclonal Antibodies - that covers the entire USA.
This isn’t just in FL.
MAB is being withdrawn in all states, allegedly because it does no good against the Moronic Variant.
Is SOP for the wealthy psychopaths running our country.
From the Pit evil. No less.
Much of what you stated is not true. PCR tests are not always wrong, at least not in my case.
Joe Biden…Joe Stalin…the only difference is the last name.
It’s not going to stop. Is anyone with me yet that dark and evil anti-terrestrials are driving this genocidal experiment? While some homo sapiens totally lack human empathy, the breath of this experiment looks to me exactly like the way extraterrestrial entities would treat us.
Listen to Stew Peters layout just one day’s worth of horror in about 60 minutes. One insane event after the other.
