You've probably heard about monoclonal antibodies—a therapeutic treatment that has been highly successful at treating COVID-19. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, for instance, aggressively championed the procedure in his state, which saw such promising results that even Dr. Anthony Fauci came out strongly in support of it.

Now, however, the Biden administration is announcing that it will begin rationing the treatment throughout the U.S., citing an alleged fear of shortages:

An HHS spokesperson said seven states have accounted for 70% of orders for the therapy. Those seven states are Florida, Texas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia and Louisiana.

"Given this reality, we must work to ensure our supply of these life-saving therapies remains available for all states and territories, not just some," the HHS spokesperson said.

The distribution, which is similar to a system employed earlier this year, will fall to HHS, which will allocate product to states and territories each week, rather administration sites ordering them directly.

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:

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.

A spokesman for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services told CNN that the department "will determine the amount of product each state and territory receives on a weekly basis."

So, it is an antibiotic? Hmmm, probably just a placebo effect, eh, DB2Point0?

No, it is a synthetic lab created version of the antibodies.   Do you ever read anything other than what is posted in the sdc political forums?  You should start.

Funny how all the southern states get made fun of for being backward redneck and overall dumb. But are the ones smart enough to find and order treatments. Now we have to ration them for the Yankees! Lol

It's odd that they can mass produce a vaccine that doesn't work, but they can't make enough of drugs that do.

You know we have natural antibodies in us already when we get the virus right? 

They don’t last forever dufus.  Your B cells and T cells remember the virus thus cause the body to make more when the virus is identified in the body again.  The delta variant, however, replicates faster and causes a higher viral load than what your body can sometimes make depending on the person’s immune response.

Educate yourself and you won’t look like a dumb### not knowing the difference between a steroid and antibiotic.  Talking about wasting one’s time

Nope, you just showed your ignorance today.  I was just trying to help you, but some just can’t be helped.

Not ignorance really, just thought it was a steroid; No biggie since I trust the PA who gave it to me. In either case, it took care of the problem quickly. Placebo effect? Maybe. Don’t care one way or the other. It did it’s job.
 I hope the Vax does it’s job with no untoward aftereffects for you. I still won’t receive it. My choice, & I will live (or die) content in that decision. I will not respond further to this topic with you,& ask that you don’t either; Thank you.

If it “did its job” it wasn’t a placebo effect.  Problem is, antibiotics don’t treat viral infections.  You likely would’ve been fine with no treatment. Placebo effect.  Your last sentences I’ll take as your concession for being wrong all the way around.  Thanks, and since you won’t be responding anymore, you’re welcome.
