Biden Admin Send Less than Half the Antibody Treatment to Florida

The Biden administration this week slashed the doses of lifesaving coronavirus antibody treatment to Florida, giving the state less than half of what is needed for a routine week, prioritizing "Equitable distribution" - a move some suspect is a form of revenge against Republican governors whom the president vowed to get "Out of the way."

The Biden administration this week began to cut the distribution of monoclonal antibodies to red states, such as Florida and Alabama, contending those states, including Texas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia, and Louisiana, are comprising too big a share of the supply in recent weeks - 70 percent.

Already, this has had a negative impact on states such as Florida, where Gov. Ron DeSantis has been announcing more and more antibody treatment centers across the Sunshine State and battling the establishment media's criticisms and misinformation along the way.

As a result of the Biden administration's moves, the feds delivered less than half the needed doses to the Sunshine State this week.

According to CBS12, they sent 30,950 doses "According to numbers from the governor's office and confirmed by the Department of Health." But normally, the state needs about 72,000 doses a week to meet the needs.

Christina Pushaw, press secretary for DeSantis, blasted the Biden administration's move and suggested that "Every corporate media outlet that publishes sensational stories about 'overflowing hospitals' in the South" should first "Demand answers from the Biden Administration about why they're restricting the supply of life saving COVID treatment to the South."

"Supply of monoclonal antibody treatment to Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Texas & other Southern states restricted by Biden Admin with no real explanation besides 'equity,'" she continued, asking, "How is it equitable to only send treatment for HALF the Floridians who need it, & NO state sites in Alabama?".
