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.

I'm sorry for your loss, but assuming that monoclonal antibodies would have saved your loved one is a leap.

Why did your family member not get the infusion(s)?

I actually don’t think the monoclonals would have saved them but they were the only person I know who had a severe case in spite of their vaccine. They would have died last year from one thing or another due to underlying conditions. If covid hadn’t gotten them, it would have been something else. Like a lot of people who die from covid.

The main point is we need treatments. Relying solely on the vaccine has always been short sighted. Doubling down on it and pretending it’s due to cost is not helpful.

Vaccines are a better and cheaper way to keep people out of the hospital and out of the morgue. Period.

All of the data shows this.

That's where any reasonable person would expect the .gov to focus their efforts.

Whatever is left over from the vax initiative can be allocated to the 2nd best option. Is that infusions? Is that the COVID therapeutic pill? Is that Ivermectin?

Good luck when you get Covid anyway. This a terrible policy.

Well, I'm 47 with no co-morbidities, so I wouldn't be eligible for the infusions regardless.

I don't know what "policy" you're referring to, all I did was refer to statistics and data and then offer personal opinion.

It seems that states have mismanaged their allocation/distribution of the treatments and we have run out.

Sad.

The global demand for therapeutics substantially exceeds global supply.

The effectiveness of any therapeutic approved for emergency use is variable dependent on the variant.

Two states, Florida and Texas were using Federal Funds to hog Regeneron and not reporting usage , as required. Each dose costs $3000 +/- and in some cases was being used to treat asymptomatic- mild symptom cases.

HHS imposed itself in the distribution process to ensure greater equity across all 50 states.

While Regeneron was reasonably effective for early and then the Delta variant, that is not the case against Omicron.

A therapeutic that is effective against Omicron may not be effective against the next highly contagious variant likely to emerge from within a large mass of unvaccinated people, no diff than Delta and Omicron did.

When the CDC stepped in and decided to to ration the supply of monoclonal covid treatments that made it a Biden screwup. Like everything this ftard and his administration touch they screw up. Hopefully the plague hits the White House and puts and end to this dog and pony show.

My father is a heart transplant recipient who lives on heavy immune suppressants to keep him alive. His doctor at NY Columbia spoke to him last week stating they WERE having very good success using these therapeutics on transplant patients with COVID however they can no longer get ANY. The government stopped allowing private from buying and now only the government can buy and ration. Since this change, they have been waiting for some and while waiting people are dying.

Be careful what you wish for. Karma will get you.
