Fair enough, but for as long as there's a pandemic, you make sure you have about 3x what you think you need.
Delta came into being late last year. Again. No excuses. Someone(s) need to be fired.
Delta didn’t become the dominant variant until July 7th.
Our numbers were so low then. It appeared that we turned the corner.
Delta comes on like gangbusters, the vax rate stalls, and a few issues appear to come up with the vax. The Trumpian crowd then started to use their supply as their own “vax”.
Monoclonal antibodies are in high demand right now. The supply is limited, and Alabama, Florida, Texas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia and Louisiana have up until now been using up 70 percent of the country's supply. All states that, coincidentally, have dismal vaccination rates.
In Texas, the Department of State Health Services alerted monoclonal antibody providers of HHS’s warning that “the national supply has considerably decreased and states should expect lower amounts of therapeutics available for shipment in the coming weeks,” according to Chris Van Deusen, a spokesman for the state health department.
Once again, the antivaxxers are sucking up all the resources and whining because they can't get even more. There are other states besides these who should get their share of the resources as well.
Biden failed. He is the "leader" of this country and should have made certain, absolutely, no matter how strong of an effort, that the supply of this lifesaving treatment was readily available immediately, to everyone. Failure.
The last guy made sure to hand him vaccines for all Americans on a silver platter and Biden?

The outcomes could be better if they got medicine. Sorry to break it to you, but giving sick people medicine helps them. Making sure there is enough medicine isn't really asking that much.
The outcomes would be much better if they just got vaccinated. There are plenty of vaccines. The antivaxxed should avail themselves of them instead of shorting the supply of antibodies by their selfishness and then whining about what they wrought.
Again, red states don't have priority to anything just because they have a higher percentage of idiots living there, especially when said idiots have deliberately put themselves in the position to get really sick to begin with.
The REASON is we have ample vaccine to obviate the need for it. Anyone who is worried that they won't get their antibodies can go get a vaccine and have them - better ones - in a couple weeks time.
I already explained that as of late spring this year the supply sat unused in fridges in hospitals after being distributed by D.C.
This was when the vax was bringing numbers down and Delta hadn’t kicked in yet.
When Delta ramped up, along with the numbers and a few issues with the vax, Trumpians began using it as their vax.
We’ve been over this.
Yeah, sitting unused while people died. I'm not okay with that. There is no excuse for them not being aggressively deployed---like the vaccines were--- for early treatment everywhere, long before now. They didn't do it because they wanted to corral people into the vaccines. That is also not okay. Denying medical care is disgusting.
Why do you care who is using these or why? They are medicine that saves lives. I'm happy people are taking medicine and not dying.
In short supply because the unvaxxed red states have been hogging the supply. Because unvaxxed seem to think they are "special" and deserve it more than the rest of us.
Go get a vaccine and you won't have to worry about monoclonal antibodies. Otherwise, as I said in another post, go stand in line and wait your turn. And hope you don't get COVID while you're waiting, because the outcomes for the unvaxxed aren't that good these days.
Please don't think it's just unvaxxed red states. Here in DC, the poorest district (the 8th District, all black, all poor, and not a single Trump voter among them) are also not getting vaxxed. Last count, we were at 35% vaxxed.

What is wrong with that?
Plus I don't understand why they would? In theory the reason Republicans don't want the vaccine (as the story goes) is that they don't want the pandemic to end.
Monoclonals will sure do that.. in fact, will do it better because you will gain natural immunity.
Fair enough, but for as long as there's a pandemic, you make sure you have about 3x what you think you need. There's no acceptable excuse for thinking that the vaccination rate would go up indefinitely. If they worked under that assumption, again, start firing people.

Fire them and replace them with whoever stocks my neighborhood grocery. Always food on the shelves. They don't judge what people should buy. They just order what is needed.

Prior to a few weeks ago, taking the vaccine was completely voluntary for most people. Trump and Biden literally walked the figurative horse up to the water through and yet you are mad that people didn't want to drink from the water through (aka the vaccine)?
Tell me, how is this the fault of any president that people don't want to take a free vaccine?
