Florida’s DeSantis Says Feds Backing Down on Limiting Monoclonals
January 4, 2022 | Florida
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced on Jan. 3 that the federal government had relaxed its policies on limiting monoclonal antibody treatment drugs, paving the way for the state to receive more doses.
DeSantis said as soon as more doses were released he would be setting up to 10 new public infusion centers in southern and central Florida. “We’re locked and loaded,” the governor said at a press conference at Broward Health in Ft. Lauderdale.
“We’re ready to go.”
DeSantis said he had asked the Biden administration to “stop preventing the distribution of these treatments.”
“HHS [Department of Health and Human Services] decided to reverse course and they are going to be sending these treatments. I think it was the right thing to do.”.. (Excerpts from the Epoch Times)
