DeSantis Launches Monoclonal Antibody Rapid Response Teams to Prevent Hospital Overcrowding

[excalibur]

A real Governor in action.

Dr. Rand Paul has been extolling monoclonal antibodies for COVId and recommends that anyone who tests positive demand them as treatment.

Gov. Ron DeSantis announced on Aug. 12 that he is launching a Rapid Response Team to dispense monoclonal antibodies to tackle Florida’s rising number of COVID-19 cases and reduce serious symptoms, preventing the potential for hospital overcrowding.

“This is probably the best thing that we can do to reduce the number of people that require hospitalization,” DeSantis said at a news conference in Jacksonville, adding that vaccines were strongly encouraged and were effective at preventing hospitalizations and deaths by at least 70 percent.

“Clear benefits to this early treatment is keeping people out of the hospital and reducing mortality,” he said.

DeSantis noted the experimental monoclonal antibodies developed by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals were used by President Donald Trump after he contracted the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, which causes COVID-19, in October 2020. Trump recovered in a matter of days.

A study released in April showed Regeneron’s antibody cocktail helped people recover faster after falling ill, and when given in the early stages, could prevent people from becoming sick with the virus.

Monoclonal antibody treatment is not well known, according to the governor, because it received federal emergency use authorization around the same time as the vaccines were being approved, and that the “focus rightfully was on vaccines at the time.” He said he felt that it was important to utilize this treatment alongside vaccines, and it was, in his opinion, “the most effective yet for people who are already infected.”

Well, he failed – hospitals in Florida are in fact overcrowded.

He just announced the program on August 12, troll. It says so right in the OP, troll.

And Blue States are having problems too.

nice…sadly we now have an admin that doesn’t take the virus seriously and besides telling people to mask up again and threat lock downs has done nothing but make things worse

 

[Care4all]

Yes, it was approved for emergency use.... After Trump got it and it worked!!!

But why would the unvaccinated sick, use an experimental drug with only emergency use approval, when the major complaint about getting the vaccine, is it only has emergency use approval and not full approval yet?

And what are these teams with the drug? I thought you can only receive it, in a hospital setting....you have to be admitted to the hospital like president Trump was...?

The trick is to get the monoclonal antibody treatment early! DeSantis is right on this....it can slow hospitalizations and save some lives....!!!!

How expensive is the experimental treatment and who is paying for it?

 

[initforme]

The nation is going to need millions upon millions of doses of them as the next wave of infections comes thru.

The unvaccinated and the anti vax propaganda machine on social media, has made things so much worse....

DeSantis weaselled a boatload of the drug from the Trump administration right before Trump left office.... I read back in January

on social media? the only time i noticed it was on national television back in 2020 doj g fei
Harris, Cuomo et al

but that was months ago

certainly i disagee with them. I think the trump vaccine is a good thing and encourage people to get it…but it’s not stopping people from getting the new xiden variant that’s been pouring through the southern border

 

[munkle]

It's even easier than that. Just give out Ivermectin free like India.

Funny how that works, I better not see antivaxxers advocating for this drug knowing full well their aversion to the vaccine for the same reasons you've stated.

I will guess that administering it will cost $70 or less and be paid for by insurance. Of course, no antivaxxer should take it, since the federal government and big pharma are the ones making, selling and buying it and then distributing to everyone, just like the vaccines.

Treatment with the antibodies has to be done early enough so that the resulting fever doesn't get too high.

It takes about an hour to drain the IV bag and then a few hours to monitor the fever.

And if it the antibodies were in emergency care clinics it would be better and get used more often. I'm thinking that they cost around $1400 dose.

But they are amazing in effect....takes what would have been a severe case and makes it a mild one in a day.

I believe the dose is 2k. None of the antivaxxers will be taking it. They don't know the long term effects. They have an immune system. Freedom!!

Antibody treatments are very limited to begin with. You actually have to qualify medically to get one.
You have to have a compromised immune system from 2 conditions and be unvaccinated to start with just to begin to qualify. Then there's the issues with getting to the doctor/hospital before you get too sick and the hospital having the bandwidth to treat you. (Getting really crowded in heavily unvaccinated areas)

So....a "healthy" 30-something that gets exposed who is unvaccinated? Sux to be you. Because that means that your undiagnosed diabetes or high blood pressure or other issues might kill you when you thought that they weren't severe enough to do you any harm when you get infected with the virus. You will finally go to the doctor when you get too sick to even get the antibody cocktail.

Trump got it after his Dr's got an emergency approval from the FDA. Soooooooo, how is jerkoff DeSantis going to accomplish that for thousands or did Mr. Big forget to memtion that?

Keep believing the shit flung by Desantis, Abbot & other right wing turds.
