If there is a highly effective and easily available treatment for the dreaded Covid available, people won't want to take the inconvenient and potentially dangerous "vaccine". For some reason the government and the leftists really want everyone to take that "vaccine". I wonder what that reason might be?
That Regeneron's REGEN-COV mab treatment is effective was news almost a year ago, when Trump received it. Further, it has been available under Emergency Use Authorization since November 2020.I am even more concerned that that bunch might commandeer all the supply, in the name of "fairness", and dole it out to a select few, while the rest rots on the shelf.
There may be a "shortage", in the sense that LIEden & Krew made what appears to be their FIRST purchase of REGEN-COV on September 14, 2021. The most recent purchase before that was January 12th, by the Trump Administration. IOW, if there's a shortage, it's due to LIEden & Krew failing to do in a timely way what was obviously necessary. LIEden's Kovid Krew Kidz are a bunch of regulocrats, and F-ups like this show it.

Desantis has made a deal to buy directly from two company's and side step the Dept of health "rationing". Biden isn't playing Corn Pop or with children's hair down here.
The government's evangelic zealous passion about 'forcing' everyone (except illegals, postal workers, and congressional staff) to take a vaccine which they themselves preach "DOES NOT WORK!" is really beyond bizarre. Why? If the vaccine does not prevent or cure COVID, then what does it really do? And why is the government so militant about handcuffing people and forcibly injecting them? It make no rational sense at all.

Mono-clonal anti-bodies are a competitive choice to the vaccines. Rationing mono-clonal anti-bodies eliminates a competitor to the vaccine.

As of yesterday the Biden Administration is metering how many doses of Regeneron are sent to Texas and thus limiting how many are sent to the Montgomery County location. Telling Texas to reduce its use of the therapeutic treatment that has literally been saving lives and reducing hospitalizations.
Now I'd like to think this is because of a supply issue and it will be temporary at best. But it's not. The manufacturer has confirmed supplies are ample but due to the Defense Production Act, the White House and it's agencies are the only entities who can purchase and distribute this treatment.
So less than a week after the president tells us his patience is wearing thin and he is mandating vaccines to millions of Americans his administration limits and all but removes a non-controversial and highly successful treatment from our war chest of combating this virus.
This is an excellent example of why the government does not belong in the middle ofmedical care and decisionsanything.
People are getting their medical information from a Niki Minaj tweet about her cousin's friend alleged vaccine side-effects of impotence and swollen testicles. If people WANT to be stupid, there's not much we can do about it.Most of the reaction I've seen is amusement at the scenario - and admiration for Nicki for standing up to the media. I haven't noticed anyone actually seeking her out for medical guidance, however.

Big Government is about removing choices and the ability to choose.
She didn't say anything wrong. In summary, all she said was to be careful.True.

This was enough to cause the American Leftists' heads explode. How dare you say 'research'! How dare you say not to be bullied!

Regeneron's is not the only monoclonal antibody (mab) treatment "out there". Eli Lilly also has a mab treatment that the FDA has authorized. Its story is a bit more involved, so I'll go through some chronological milestones:
October 28, 2020 - Agreement announced for Feds' purchase of 300,000 vials of bamlanivimab.
November 9, 2020 - Eli Lilly's and AbCellera's bamlanivimab received Emergency Use Authorization from the FDA. Bamlanivimab was the first product from a DARPA project to develop platforms for quick early responses to emerging epidemics. The project was announced in very early 2017, and launched in very early 2018. . .

Believe their stuff at your peril.
A lot of their opinions are based on weasel wording, semantic elimination of other critical factors, etc.
That crap started when just having practicing doctors say "..." was not enough, there had to be double blind studies done, too. Nothing like getting memes or obvious jokes on fecebook "factchecked", and while they may be "independent" (which means what, exactly?) the Leftist bias is ever evident.
On fecebook, I just use their flags to indicate what needs to be further investigated. Zuckerberg is allergic to the truth, I think.
:yowsa: The "fact checkers" got tired of me and got my account deleted. To their credit, they did bother to send me an e-mail informing me of the fact.I'm treading lightly, and have my second strike...(or so they informed me). When I do post, I post a lot of links, and my friends know enough to just check them out. Seems the memes really upset them, though. :tongue2:

@Polly TicksFor starters, I am glad to see you posting. I hope you are recovering well. You have (both) been in my prayers.
This was written above: "As of yesterday the Biden Administration is metering how many doses of Regeneron are sent to Texas and thus limiting how many are sent to the Montgomery County location.

Polly, I have now moved to Montgomery County, Texas. Lived here before for 16 years. Montgomery County is 99.99% Republican - no Democrat in any office. I did not know masses of those meds were sent here. Does anyone know why to this county? I have been and am very weak from major surgery and have not kept up with this. Montgomery County's southern border is Harris County, Houston. I can't take the vaccine so am still captive in my house.
Get this: I have to have a medical person with me from 9 in the morning until I go to bed. So far, I have found no company that sends medical people to homes and checks whether they are vaccinated or not. I must have a vaccinated person to limit my exposure to the virus. Companies say it is the employee's personal choice to get the vaccine so they do not know if an employee has had the vaccine. I will be having a doctor try to find a vaccinated person to be at my house.

Thank both of you for responding to me.
"But is the threat of shortages real? Texas Montgomery County Judge Mark Keough wrote on Facebook this week that there was, in fact, no looming shortfall of the drug . . ."
I made a mistake. I asked why Montgomery County was in this problem, but I had not read what County Judge Mark Keough wrote on Facebook. Now, I know why Montgomery County is involved.
I actually got to my house here this past Tuesday. There is a newspaper here and I will use that to help bring me up to date about county news. The paper is not run by Dems here or it would not sell.
Montgomery County, Texas, has the most Republicans per capita than any other Texas county.
Glad to see you up, about, and posting again Marcella!@Bigun
Walker County may just run Montgomery County a race if done on a per capita basis.
@Bigun
Naturally, to get to Montgomery County from the north, one goes through Walker County. I think about you every time I go through there and did this time when coming home. When I lived in Coldspring, I made the trip to Walker County every week for groceries and beauty shop. I also worked with your Republican Party in Walker County.
@HoodatI find that hard to believe. Look up Shackelford county or Taylor county.
