    Florida Does Medicine Better

    Their Dept. of Health goes beyond masks, lockdowns & "vaccines" by promoting a free treatment for high risk patients:

    "Monoclonal antibodies treatment (MAB) can prevent hospitalization or death in high-risk patients with COVID-19 and are widely available in Florida according to the Florida Department of Health website. Anyone who is 12 years and older, and are at high risk for severe illness due to COVID-19, are eligible for this treatment. Treatment is free and vaccination status does not matter.
    To find locations to receive monoclonal antibody treatments around the entire state, visit floridahealthcovid19.gov."

    From Epoch Times report.

    Yes, monoclonal antibodies are effective against COVID that hasn't progressed far.

    No, it's not a practical treatment for the population. There's not nearly enough of it to go around, it costs $1500 - $6500 a treatment, and most bad COVID cases aren't caught in the early stages.

    DeSantis is pushing it for two reasons. First, he can deflect from his failures by pointing at a new magical cure, one that only a few people can get. And second, follow the money. Regeneron Pharmaceuticals is a big DeSantis donor.

    I should mention the antibody treatment only has emergency use approval from the FDA, because antivaxxers tell us how that makes something totally evil and a socialist plot to control the population. (I do understand antivaxxers don't actually care about "experimental" status. They pretend they do, as an excuse to hate the vaccines. They're fine with any other sort of experimental drug.)
