President Joe Biden’s administration may reportedly implement a new policy to limit the number of antibody treatments shipped to some states with high demands for it, possibly curtailing the medicine for states with Republican governors, Politico reports.
According to Politico, the Biden administration is “imposing new limits on states’ ability to access to Covid-19 antibody treatments amid rising demand from GOP governors who have relied on the drug as a primary weapon against the virus.”:
Federal health officials plan to allocate specific amounts to each state under the new approach, in an effort to more evenly distribute the 150,000 doses that the government makes available each week.
The approach is likely to cut into shipments to GOP-led states in the Southeast that have made the pricey antibody drug a central part of their pandemic strategy, while simultaneously spurning mask mandates and other restrictions. That threatens to heighten tensions between the Biden administration and governors like Florida’s Ron DeSantis, who have emerged as vocal opponents of the federal Covid-19 response.
The new policy follows Biden announcing his federal policy last week that will have the Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) mandate that private companies with 100 or more employees implement vaccine mandates or require negative tests. During his speech, the president singled out GOP governors that oppose his policies, vowing to “get them out of the way.”

Soooo...they’re already doing it....
That’s a sacrifice that Biden is willing to make.
Your link no worky
Yes. This is the first I’ve read of it. And I searched.
I hope that you won’t be offended if I take my medical advice from my own physician rather than some anonymous person on the internet that claims to be a doctor.
Amen, to your every word.
And, it’s a FRoctor, not a doctor.
REAL docs are putting their names, REAL practices and reputations on the line, to warn about these shots.
Not just Democrats in Florida! Democrats in every state that happens to have a Republican Governor currently at the helm.
I was not prepared if someone asked. I have looked and cannot find the program.. and since I have AV on most of the time, I don’t remember the program. It was one lady doctor and 3 men doctors. And they said meds to help with covid were not available for most.. done one purpose.
But they said it is treatable and of their patience, zero died.
That’s likely about right.
Yes...

So now the government is getting involved in (read: restricting) monoclonal antibody distribution. Before I could just order as much as we needed and they shipped it next day air. Now a govt. commission will decide when, if, and how much I will be able to get for my pts.

1 lady dr and 2 men drs
Who’s running them?
Can you say...Satan?
But people have ALREADY died because of foolish decisions the administration has made: remember at LEAST 13 for sure (probably more citizens and definitely more allies murdered than that), in Afghanistan. We can’t count the number affected by people coming across the border with criminal and health implications - but at LEAST two deaths are due to their policies. We can’t count how many aborted lives there have been...and you are shocked now because they withhold medical shipments?
That’s an equal protection violation.
You folks were in favor of Monoclonal antibodies as I recall.
Joe Biden has started restricting their distribution to red states (verified: there was a Tweet by a County Judge in Texas about this earlier today, and another FReeper said he talked to that judge personally, I think last night.)
Are you going to make noise about this?
According to you it’s a matter of life and death.

So Texas Florida and the other red states could get a lot of mice and start up production.
When there’s a will, there’s a way.
What a petty, mean, and pathetically vengeful thing for a “unifying” resident to do.
😉👌👍
“It is our goal to ensure continued availability of these drugs for current and future patients. As such, we are immediately implementing the following changes to help promote optimal and *equitable* use of the available supply of monoclonal antibodies”
Read that: We’re going to make sure Southern white racists aren’t getting “too much”.
