Should JBE promote monoclonal antibodies more, like DeSantis and Abbot?

Texas and Florida are setting up monoclonal antibody therapy sites across their states. FL, TX. If you test positive for CV, regardless of vaccines status you can receive monoclonal antibody therapy free at one of the state run facilities in Texas and Florida. (Sorry if I'm leaving out any other states offering the same service as Florida and Texas.)
You can receive monoclonal antibody therapy in Louisiana but the treatment has to go through Louisiana hospitals with a very strong vaccine bias so receiving mAb therapy in Louisiana is not as easy as it is in Florida or Texas.
The really good news about mAb is it reduces hospitalizations by 70% to 85%. This is a really good approach to keeping people out of the hospital infected with COVID.
JBE should promote it more and open mAb therapy sites across the State of Louisiana.

Covid is 100% political. JBE is a Democrat. So he toes the Democratic line. Which is to push vaccines down your throat until you comply and act like therapeutics are non existent and/or only brought up by white supremacists.
JBE is a clown like the rest of his party. We have to deal with him because he's the governor and he wants to have a seat at the table long term. Whatever that is. We had a Republican governor? Yeah this would all be different. LSU game restrictions included.
Is what it is.

Nb4 "we need to see long term studies to assess the validity of this form of treatment. It is not FDA approved!"

Imagine being the National Hero to The Party and leader of one of the USA’s Health Institutes, on tv and/or the internet and even TikTok every fricking day for 18 months, and waiting until late August 2021 to realize it’s time to talk about a treatment that’s been available since November 2020.
I repeat, mAb infusions have been available since November 2020.
frick Fauci!

I wish we could take politics out of combating COVID.
The problem with combating COVID through the lens of politics is you have to pick sides and each side has their treatment which they believe is God-send and the other side's preferred treatment is the medicine from the devil incarnate.
How about we use all treatments as medically appropriate to fight this disease?
But you are right. It's politics and only certain treatments or easy access to treatments are available to people depending on whether there is a D or an R behind their governor's name. Sad.

quote:Promotion doesn’t seem necessary as it is a treatment provided after infection. However, to the broader point, it appears a very effective treatment from the information I have seen, so if someone is putting up barriers or not providing the greatest opportunities and access the use of the treatment, that’s problematic.
promote monoclonal antibodies

He is
Problem is they won’t do it unless you have other health conditions
Friend was denied by their Dr because she didn’t have underlying conditions & was told to find something OTC to take

I think most people are aware of mAB treatments nowadays. And they are easier to get.
Although I think Cosmo said last week that there are waiting lists in LA.
When my parents received mAB therapy, the doctor made a joke that he didn't need to ask them if they were vaccinated because he was only giving it to unvaccinated people

Don't bring logic into this, BIGOT!

So, you don't want to use the antibodies that your body makes, you want to use cloned antibodies that are made in a lab.
We've gone full circle.

My sister's doctor told her she was not old or fat enough to get them. Obviously he said it in a nicer way.

Should a question about 3 politicians and their politics be on a board reserved for politics?

I suppose it is one arm of the battle. I have a friend who has positive symptoms but can't get tested until later this week. So, theoretically, can't get monoclonal antibx until after a positive test.

The EUA for mAB currently is only for

High risk includes any of the following:
65 years of age or older
Overweight (body mass index over 25)
Pregnancy
Chronic kidney disease
Diabetes (Type 1 and Type 2)
Weakened immune system
Currently receiving immunosuppressive treatment
Cardiovascular disease/hypertension
Chronic lung disease
Sickle cell disease
Neurodevelopmental disorders

These are the criteria for receiving mAb therapy per LDH:
quote:
Have a positive test for SARS-CoV-2 (molecular/PCR or antigen)
• Are within 10 days of the start of their symptoms
• Are at least 12 years of age or older and weigh at least 40 kilograms (88 pounds)
• Are at a high risk for progressing to severe COVID-19 and/or hospitalization
That last bullet point is subjective. Apparently in Florida and Texas they have a much broader definition of high risk and have reduced hospitalizations by 70%. If Louisiana hospitals are stingy with mAb therapy then I can see why they recently had problems with hospital overcrowding (which is not a bad thing from a money making perspective).

The high risk bullet is not subjective. It's literally defined in the EUA for mAB.
You are making things up to prove a political point while preaching about taking politics out of COVID.
Here is an article from Houston Methodist about who is eligible LINK

We can't separate COVID and politics. It's impossible. But for this thread I would rather lean on the side of promoting mAb treatment availability for Louisiana residents.

IIRC, it was the first thing he talked about on Friday.
