Biden administration fails at providing adequate Monoclonal covid treatment drugs (statistics, government)

Those who are insisting that Covid is no big deal, mild really if you keep yourself healthy. No need to get vaccinated.

Now they are complaining that there is a shortage of treatments for this mild virus.

So which is it?

Is it serious?

Or no big deal?

Those pushing vaccine and are light on therapeutics (i.e. our government), especially as all get infected vaccinated or otherwise, are fools.

To begin with, grammar needs work. I mean it's not going to help much with content but still.. Lol.

The cost of Regeneron’s two-drug cocktail is $1,250 per infusion.

The cost of GSK’s and Vir’s monoclonal antibody costs about $2,100 per infusion.

The cost of a single dose of the COVID-19 vaccine is about $20.



Pretty much a no-brainer about where the .gov should be spending our money, IMO.

Why?

It’s evil. Hopefully if omicron is the main variant the need for vaccines and antibodies will decrease as severity decreases. For this administration it’s vaccine or nothing, they want to restrict all access to early treatment. They don’t care about side effects, it’s a one size fits all method which is incredibly stupid. Children should not be given the vaccine, since when do we risk children to protect the old and afraid

Vaccinated people need the treatments as well.

How many vaxxed people "need" the treatments?

How many non-vaxxed people "need" the treatments?

You want some designer therapeutic that has to be administered prior to any serious sypmptoms even presenting in order to have a chance at efficacy, pay for it yourself.

No idea on a wide scale, that info is not reported as far as I know.

If you are asking for my anecdotal experience, my fully vaxxed family member could have used it. He is the only one I know out of everyone I know who has had Covid and died.

Putting all of our eggs into the vaccine basket has not worked well.

Why? Because, only one of the antibody treatments appears to be working and it is in a short supply.
