Regeneron Ron's sickly flock lines up for experimental drug

Hundreds of mostly unvaccinated Covid infected Floridians packed Ron Desantis' pop-up monoclonal therapy treatment centers, some too weak to stand. The irony is, once again, lost on the folks who are sickened by a universally known pandemic that has been with us for over a year and a half and has had an extremely safe and effective vaccine widely available for 8 months.

The same crowd who endlessly and mindlessly retweets misleading memes and screams at public school board meetings that they won't take the vaccine because it is experimental and does not have full FDA approval are hacking and packing into public libraries and converted semi-trailers to receive Regeneron, an experimental drug that DOES NOT HAVE FULL FDA APPROVAL and is being administered under the same FDA emergency use authorization (EUA) as several vaccines for Covid-19.

The kicker? Regeneron as described by the CDC:

"Monoclonal antibodies are laboratory-made proteins that mimic the immune system’s ability to fight off harmful pathogens such as viruses. Casirivimab and imdevimab are monoclonal antibodies that are specifically directed against the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2, designed to block the virus’ attachment and entry into human cells."

So the dumbasses that believe the 'Rona" jab will alter their DNA because it uses laboratory-made mRNA to allow the body to build up antibodies against the coronavirus are begging for a treatment that uses "laboratory-made proteins that mimic the immune system's ability to fight off harmful pathogens (the coronavirus)..." The same ones who believe hospitals are profiteering off the virus by falsely diagnosing every illness as covid are rushing to have the government cram money into the pockets of Ron Desantis biggest donor, Ken Griffin's, for-profit company.

At this point, I think the vaccine needs to be either mandated nationwide or alternatively, anyone opting out of it needs to stand with their (idiotic) convictions and sign a waiver for the vaccine that includes the caveat that once they knowingly and voluntarily decline it, they also decline any and all medical treatment, insurance coverage, and government assistance should they become infected (GoFundMe would still be allowed).

As country singer Aaron Tippin sung, "You got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything." It is time for Covidiots to literally put their (and our taxpayer money) where their mouth is.

You can't scream about not being Fauci ouchy sheep and then line up like sickly ewes for Regeneron Ron.

1. Greatest Page!!!

[Mortos]

2. Thank you

[Mortos]

3. Do you think people who refuse the vaccine

should be afforded the same medical intervention as those who have been vaccinated?

[mopinko]

4. yes. and i think it's sick not to.

i'm fine w insurance not covering it, or some other financial penalty.
but let's not lose our humanity here.

5. Willfully unvaccinated adults should be last priority for monoclonal treatment.

Children and unvaccinated below 18 first, then vaccinated adults in need of it next.

We are going to have to start triaging.

10. this i have no problem w.

11. As the numbers multiply, it will happen by stealth.

Doctors will simply select the young first and then the adults with the greatest chance of recovery. Vaccinated adults will be in much better shape, therefore have a strong chance of recovery. The remainder will end up getting palliative care.

No different than when they get people from train wrecks or multiple vehicle “pile ups”.

12. Triage to determine the greatest chance for survival

with limited medical resources. I think you are right.

6. I've read this treatment is over $15K a dose

so who is paying for this????

[Mortos]

7. According to several articles, the Federal government is paying for these treatments

So another level of hypocrisy, right wingers who hate socialism, love free medicine.

The cost I saw is $1000 per treatment for the medicine. Vaccines cost the federal government $25 each, 400% less.
