... and I'm sure counties across the country. Here's the FB post from the County Judge in Montgomery County (Mark Keough) Somebody tell me again how this isn't purely about control.

https://www.facebook.com/countyjudgekeough/posts/391370835891604

Quote:

While we were preparing for our emergency response to Hurricane Nicholas yesterday, I received some news that not only disappointed me but to be brutally honest it infuriated me.

For over a month Montgomery County has been hosting a regional monoclonal antibodies infusion center. Successfully doing over 2,000 infusions. Both vaccinated and unvaccinated patients have received infusions at this facility. All of our patients to my knowledge have successfully gone on to beat COVID without complications or the need for hospitalization.

All of this came to a halt yesterday. 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.

I have repeatedly said that I am pro vaccine choice and support your individual rights to determine whether the vaccine is right for you. I believe the unconstitutional mandate will be struck down in federal court but while we wait for those cases to make their way through the system we can't just stop treating people vaccinated or not with a proven therapeutic. Mr. Biden has gone from dangling the proverbial carrot, with his so called national strategy to combat the virus, to throwing out the carrot and favoring the stick instead.

I will not stand for this and no one in Montgomery County or Texas for that matter should either. I will be reaching out to our federal congressional delegation in the coming days to seek their help at reversing this deadly position in favor of keeping every tool in the war chest available for use for every citizen not just the presidentially favored vaccinated ones.

Couple this with flooding Texas with covid-positive illegal aliens, and it is clear that Biden is intentionally killing Texans.

Dems will weaponize this treatment and only distribute what's truly needed to those governors who bend the knee.

Whoever's hand is up Biden's ass is evil.

So, they are interfering with distribution of supplies of a treatment?

That is knowingly casing risk of harm.

Took advantage of this program last week in Montgomery County. Felt like I was on my death bed the morning I got the infusion and felt 1000% better within 3-6hrs of getting the infusion!!! The nursing staff running the clinic were almost all black and all outstanding...said they were administering up to 400 per day with really only a personnel capacity to do 100. I was highly impressed and grateful for the free service, as someone non-vaccinated. Saw everyone in the infusion room from those who looked like they were on welfare/Medicaid to white-collar business people. At that point, we were all on an even-playing field!

If this information the county judge is sharing is true (and why wouldn't it be at this point!!), he needs to go after every head he can and f****** burn them to the ground!!! This is an absolute shame to the thousands that are benefitting from the treatment!!


EDIT TO ADD: After reading the thread on this for the last hour or two, it would be hard for me to believe there is a shortage on supplies. When I was in there last week one of the staff told another patient that the clinic had been open for about a month and the first few weeks it was so slow, many of the staff were just sitting around. Finally, around the first week of September when word started getting out on the infusion's success rate and the county really started publicizing the availability of the infusion, they started to really take off. I'm not sure of the timeline of everything in regards to the "supply management" announcement, but I went to the Montgomery clinic on September 8 (Wednesday) and they had just recently gotten very busy (per the anecdotal conversation amongst the nursing staff running the clinic). To add, the nurses were all very happy to have so many people coming in and the ability to help out so many who were ill (this was verbalized on more than one occasion when I was in there)...which is what nurses are usually wired to do, right!! They were also very verbal about asking patients to tell others about the available service as you left after your treatment. It was obvious the medical staff believed in what they were administering and wanted as many as possible to benefit from it! It burns me up to think that our government is politicizing probably the most effective treatment seen to-date!!

Things like this reveal why the left wants government run single payer so badly. They will weaponize it immediately.

Needs to be treated like an act of war. Articles drawn up. Set the precedent.

Absolutely true. Our small rural hospital where the doctor i see was having success with this treatment was just told they no longer have final say if a patient receives this treatment. My wife was one of the last ones who was allowed to get it based on her doctors judgment. Now it must go through heath and human services aka bureaucrats.

This is simply punishing Texas for defying Fuhrer house plant.

The time for talk with these monsters is over...

As someone not on social media… is it safe to assume this is on Abbott/Paxton's radar?

Whether or not they do something about it is another matter. A good start would be a public acknowledgement that there's a problem and they're aware of it.

My SIL received one of those infusions in Montgomery County, and it likely saved her life.

Beyond infuriating that Biden would play games with something like this, but then we're talking about a Dem politician... and we know nothing is out of bounds when it comes to power and rewarding/punishing political friends and foes.

That was the concern with Obamacare. Sounds like the death panels are alive and kicking. No way in hell should these decisions be going to DC for approval. Drug makers make the drugs and doctors give the drugs. This is just evil.

My highly overweight friend who happens to be black just had great success with this. I was really worried when I found out he had covid given his high risk profile. He wasn't even hospitalized after the treatment and is fully recovered.

He is lucky to be alive. If he would have gotten the virus a few weeks later the Biden Administration may have resulted in his death. This is off the charts crazy stuff going on.

Try telling me there isn't something in these 'vaccines' that they want inside every American. Covidians can GFT.

It needs to have consequences. Just to send a message, a Texit vote is entirely appropriate now. How it turns out is irrelevant. Send the message.

Is there any way to confirm this?

My wife was treated with it two days ago. She popped out of bed this morning like nothing had happened.

If they truly wanted to stop the deaths, they would encourage early testing followed by early treatment. It's the magic bullet to bring the virus down. Natural immunity with no risk of death.

I told my wife yesterday that I'd rather go ahead and get sick because it might not be available in the future.

Past the point that some people need to be hanging by the neck.

My son has diabetes, is vaccinated, got Covid, and thankfully, got an infusion at the center in Fort Worth this morning. This after getting a run-around at a hospital in Fort Worth yesterday where his doctor sent him.

I am appalled and shaking with fury after reading this. It's truly an act of war against Texas.

Biden said last week he'd come after our governors. Evil. Pure evil.

Unless they start pushing back against their deranged administration, National Democrats are simply enemies.

Quote:

The increased incidence of the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 has caused a substantial surge in the utilization of monoclonal antibody (mAb) drugs, particularly in areas of the country with low vaccination rates. HHS is committed to helping ensure consistent availability of these critical drugs for current and future patients in all geographic areas of the country. As such, we have updated the distribution process for mAbs.
On Monday, September 13, HHS transitioned from a direct ordering process to a state/territory-coordinated distribution system similar to that used for the distribution of mAbs from November 2020 February 2021.
State and territorial health departments know best where product is needed in their areas. Transitioning to a state/territory-coordinated distribution system gives health departments maximum flexibility to get these critical drugs where they are needed most.
HHS will determine the weekly amount of mAb products each state and territory receives based on COVID-19 case burden and mAb utilization. State and territorial health departments will subsequently identify which sites in their respective jurisdictions receive product as well as the amount each site receives.

Read that first sentence...areas of the country with ,low vaxx rates. You are being punished. Joe warned you. Said he was losing his patience with the neanderthals.

Biden's handlers hate their patriotic freedom-loving political opposition at home more than Islamic extremists who chant "death to America" and plot terror attacks. It is that important to the new regime to destroy America and build it back better as a communist utopia. Pretty sick and sad that we have let it get this far.

Who knows, our abusive overseas policies to line pockets provoked a good bit of Islamist behavior. Left Democrats are actually worse. Islamists started out just trying to have their own way at home.

Doesn't this open up the federal government to a wrongful death lawsuit?

Regeneron antibodies are considered standard method of care for many hospitals.

This is infuriating.

No. Unity of any kind is gone until this admin is past history. Whether in 2024 or by the military concluding the acting as proxy for China is too intolerable.
