DeathSantis supports some getting Regeneron as a "preventative," without testing positive

.@GovRonDeSantis says "if you're facing infection," you should get monoclonal antibody treatment. But does he support allowing people who refuse to get vaccinated to get monoclonal antibody treatment as a preventative before they test positive? Yes "for high risk people."

He shows as much ignorant arrogance as his Orange Fake Idol with an ability to lie and failure to acknowledge that he has fucked up big time. The GQP has proved it is the real party of Death Panels and that all the talk about Dems being the ones implementing them was pure cynical projection. God i hate them.

But monoclonal antibodies?? Pass around the antibodies whether you need ‘em or not. When you’re skipping the vaccine (a known preventative) but asking for antibodies? These people are experts at talking out of both sides of their mouths. This should sicken anyone with a few brain cells left to rub together.

I’m going to hazard a guess here: vaccines are cheaper than monoclonal antibodies. Correct me if I’m wrong. This is an assumption and we know how assumptions are — So a scientifically tested vaccine is not ok, but when you DO get the virus, ask for the latest and very effective treatment especially if given in a timely fashion. Oh, yea that makes a bunch of sense from a health and economic viewpoint. Don’t prevent. Wait until you get sick to treat expensively.

and the lives of the privileged elites come first. And your Stupiderati base voters won’t really catch on to your hypocrisy here, no matter how blatant.

So, they’re not making enough just on the sick folks, they need to sell the those “facing” infection?

He would send every Floridian to get it if he could. He wouldn’t mind if every single person got COVID, so he could profit off regeneron.

Sadistic effer, he is.
