Florida Governor pushing back against the false attacks against his Covid response.
-----------------

A spokesperson for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s office said that more than half of those who are seeking monoclonal antibody treatment in the south of Florida are “fully vaccinated” individuals amid supply issues.

“More than half the patients getting the monoclonal antibody treatment in south Florida are fully vaccinated,” DeSantis spokeswoman Christina Pushaw wrote in response to a comment on Twitter that suggested that only unvaccinated people are the reason why there is a significant demand for monoclonal antibodies.

Florida, she wrote hours earlier, “is above average in vaccination rate” and that “more than half of the patients in south Florida getting monoclonal antibody treatment are vaccinated and have breakthrough infections. Vaccinated or unvaccinated -Denying treatment to Covid patients is wrong.”

If there isn't enough of it, someone has to be denied. I vote for people who wilfully avoided a readily available treatment that would have dramatically reduced their chances of needing the limited treatment.

So the vaccinated should receive priority for antibody treatment for Covid?

Yes if Death Sentence isn't lying about the vaccinated using over half the treatments (which I doubt) they should be reserved for them first.

They deserve it yes. The unvaccinated made their "choice" and should stay home and let God sort it out. They should be the lowest priority for hospital beds also.

So you are not paying attention. The numbers in florida contradict the democrat BS. Half of the people in South Florida that are getting the monoclonal treatment are breakthrough cases who have been fully vaccinated. This is why so many ignore what Biden, Fauci, the democrat mouth pieces are preaching, because the are constantly lying to us and trying to bully or shame us. What happened to Bidens open and transparent promise. Yeah, like always a campaign promise he never intended to honor.

That depends on just how bad the shortage is, but all other things being equal I can' think of a good reason not to implement such a policy.

Why would someone who refuses to take the "mark of the devil" want another evil medication, anyway? It's not like the monoclonal antibody therapies had longer term clinical trials than the vaccines.

So the rich should get better health care because they can afford it? See you and the democrats don't seem to understand it, hospitals are for sick people. By your standard all the smokers should be denied lung cancer treatment, those in car wrecks where they were speeding should not be transported to the hospital, the obese who have health problems should not get treatment because they didn't loose weight. Dumb ass people who barely graduated high school should not be allowed to get into any college because they neglected getting a good educational start for college. Women who got pregnant should not be allowed an abortion because they didn't practice good contraceptive methods, or just keep their pants on.
 
Finally, somebody in a position of authority has said it. Because the vaccinated are NOT protected. They THINK they are, hence the problem. The vaccines essentially wane within a matter of a few months, and that is something the authorities have tried to diminish and really don't want people to know. But I know they don't last long because I've seen it first hand. Perhaps all these vaccines are really meant to do is give people a false sense of security, so that they all get the real thing, and hence get antibodies that last a little longer than the provoked Big P ones. In all seriousness, I also believe that we have another variant superseding Delta. But that's a different discussion. I'm really glad that somebody finally came out with the truth in Florida, because it's been evident in New York - I linked it - and it's the vaccinated that are the true deniers, and evidence will continue to mount to prove it. Thanks!!
 
Vaccines are so free being "rich" has nothing to do with it. If smokers with lung cancer were filling up our ICU's like the unvaccinated are I would ration their care also. The difference is the tobacco is an addictive drug and some cannot beat that habit. Vaccines are available to all and protect most from being hospitalized. Most are refusing them for political reasons and that is not a excuse for stressing our hospital to the breaking point. They need to stay home and live (or die) with their "choice"
 
The Delta variant is the most contagious disease ever seen by science. Those who are old or immunocompromised need boosters to keep this virulent strain from infecting them. The rest of us vaccinated have little to worry about since even a breakthrough infection will be mild. There is no indication that boosters will be need for most of us although the continued surge in the unvaccinated is not helping. The truth is that monoclonal antibodies are preventative and not given to the seriously ill and that might explain why there are so many vaccinated people getting it. It also could be a waste of a treatment given that most vaccinated never get seriously ill anyway.
 
If only more people would acknowledge this.
 
I wonder how many of those vaccination cards were fake....

Undercover agents were able to buy the fraudulent cards for $20 each at a bar in Clements, Calif., according to the authorities. Federal officials say the problem has grown during the pandemic.

Igman, you are not protected as well as you think, and you are not protected for very long. Anyway, I hope you're wearing a mask. Thanks!!

obviously

BTW, these deplorables are using up half the entire supply of the country.

Responsible people across the country will die that could have easily been saved as a result of this. I want to know how TX and FL got so much. Heads need to roll.

I do wear a mask but I also feel protected with the Moderna vaccine. It has a higher Mrna count and gives the best immunity, 92% even after 4 months. I like those odds.

Data collected from 18 states between March and August suggest the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine reduces the risk of being hospitalized with COVID-19 by 91% in the first four months after receiving the second dose. Beyond 120 days, however, that vaccine efficacy drops to 77%.

Meanwhile, Moderna's vaccine was 93% effective at reducing the short-term risk of COVID-19 hospitalization and remained 92% effective after 120 days.

DeSantis and his Office have released lie after lie. He is regurgitating tRump and the constant undercutting of his health experts. Odd how in Oklahoma, a very red state, over 90% of those receiving hospital care for Covid are unvaccinated...

But in Floridahhh DeSantis claims the treatment some of his major donors have financial ties with are treating as many vaccinated people as the nons...

I was born at night, however it wasn't last night...
 
Actually he could be wasting half of those expensive and limited treatments on vaccinated people. The monoclonal antibodies are not for those hospitalized with serious illness so it is possible that many with mild breakthrough cases are getting treated to the $1400 infusion when they really have virtually no chance of it getting serious anyway. It is all about getting Federal funds to his donors and boosting the stock he holds in the company that makes it. As far as I know all you need to do to get treated is to test positive for covid and be able to walk into one of the clinics on your own power. If you are sick enough to be hospitalized you can't get the antibody treatment. That leaves out most of the unvaccinated with Delta. It puts a lot of the infected down fast and hard with no vaccine.
