Tennessee considers withholding monoclonal antibody treatment from vaccinated citizens

bunch a posters in here got their panties in a bunch about it and got all preachy - nuther day in the VN

There's a legitimate debate on personal responsibility for health choices, but that's to some degree separate from the action cited by OP.

Surge in demand for monoclonal antibodies to treat COVID-19 prompts Biden administration to impose new limits

That's what happens when there's a shortage--someone decides how the goods are going to be allocated.

Which is yet another failure of this administration.

sure but the folks I'm referring to jumped right in to decry this move - probably some of our most vocal "follow the science" peeps. turns out it's following the science but that interfere's with hating people who aren't vaxxed.

You categorizing them as 'nuts' doesn't further your argument. And I am willing to walk away from my job because of this thing. (well they will have to fire me) Care to compare W2s?

You have always seemed like a guy who only gets self-worth from a W2.
Usually an indicator of a small penis.

I haven't seen the data showing a real shortage (eg. specific states not able to obtain MAb). At a minimum it seems that the HHS move has created shortages as a result of both allocation rules and some stockpile creation activities (keeping product of the market for distribution later).

Someone needs to start a poll or pole
Which would you pick if given the choice: large bank account or large pe...hands?

Around 12% of our country has tested positive for Covid and of that 12% somewhere around 3% ended up in the hospital. Meanwhile at least half our country is considered obese. Who exactly is the real threat to our healthcare system? What should the fat surcharge be?

Should there be a surcharge for being overweight or for smoking?

You want the federal government to be manufacturing medical treatments?

 

[LouderVol]

I think they need to be treated. Just make sure they take responsibility for the extra cost their choices are adding to the system.
Win - win.

Everyone who gets this treatment should pay for it. To amoe sure they all take responsibility for their actions.

What you are saying is, these people dont have to pay for their choices, but these people do.

Failure? No... it is by design and it started with 0bama.

I went in in May for what I thought was appendicitis and turned out to be a boulder of a kidney stone. While rolling in pain in the waiting room a girl comes in for a swollen ankle that she said was already diagnosed as a sprain earlier in the week (by the ER) but the swelling hadn’t dissipated. I thought to myself you have to be *****ing me.

Seriously?! Like the swelling on a sprain that bad goes down in a few days. I've had some sprains that took over a week to go down. I can understand if you're not sure there's a break if the sprain is bad enough on the first trip.

didn't read the article but isn't the shortage in part due to the Biden administration taking over all distribution?

"HHS will determine the amount of product each state and territory receives on a weekly basis. State and territorial health departments will subsequently identify sites that will receive product and how much," the spokesperson said. "This system will help maintain equitable distribution, both geographically and temporally, across the country - providing states and territories with consistent, fairly-distributed supply over the coming weeks."

Biden administration moves to avoid shortages of Covid-19 monoclonal antibody treatments - CNN

was there evidence that states couldn't get it before Team Biden stepped in? Yes demand was high in some key states but those were the states with the highest need.

Ah. Socialist distribution at work.

Because the elderly aren’t voluntarily elderly, unvaccinated are voluntarily so against medical advice. Can you seriously not understand the difference or are you just grasping at straws just to justify a medical decision based on political identity?

Not completely true.

In many cases genetics are a big factor.

It's weird how the genes were repressed until relatively recently.

Those who have ever smoked, did not practice a consistent exercise regimen, did not eat healthy. Should not show up to the ER or seek cancer treatment etc. They evaluated the risk and chose not to take care of themselves.


Do you see why this is a horrible way to determine the care we offer?

I smoked for a short bit (10 years?). Never hit a pack a day. Been quit for well over 20. Worked out at gym. Played Softball 8 months a year. Lean and mean. Healthy diet. Mostly off the grill and the majority of my red meat then was venison. But, I can attest that since putting them down my immunity to most anything re-surged with a vengance.
