after he tested positive for Covid. The governor first began talking about it as a treatment last year.
“Early treatment with these monoclonal antibodies – Regeneron and others – have proven to radically reduce the chances that somebody ends up being hospitalized,” DeSantis said Monday at a treatment site in Orlando. “Reducing hospital admissions has got to be a top priority.” Texas Gov. Greg Abbott tested positive for Covid on Tuesday and is receiving Regeneron treatments. Like DeSantis, he has been opposed to mask mandates in public schools. He was vaccinated in December.
And while DeSantis has had a very public war of words with Democratic President Joe Biden about requiring masks in schools and other virus precautions, they both encourage monoclonal antibody treatments. A Regeneron treatment costs more than $1,000, while a vaccine costs about $25.
Pracken Just a little teeny bit of back scratching... nothing to see here, as Dolly Parton sang in the Best Little Whorehouse in Texas....
That seems like a recipe for a lawsuit for manslaughter: I want you to get sick by not letting anyone wear a mask so my donor's treatment gets prescribed to save you from dying.
That little Covid Cootie has just love DEATHSANTIS.
U.S. wealthy entitlement!! The reason the U.S. is hated world wide.
Interesting….esp since the vaccines are free. 🙄
I realize the company is donating money to DeSantis campaign, but the way he keeps pushing that monoclonal medicine makes me think he is probable getting something extra under the table too.
RegeneronRon panders to his donors, instead of protecting his constituents. DeSantisFailedFlorida
What do his kids wear at school
RonDeSantisFL how much of a kickback r u getting on this? How about u just support the vaccine & masks & PREVENT the disease instead of trying to cash in on ppl who get it & may become VERY ill! R your kids vaccinated? Hope you get sued by EVERY person who suffers from COVID.
Just wrong
He’ll be the next after Texas Governor to claim he has Covid and taking the miracle treatment
Governor DeSantis always helps hid diners. Just think a $1500 solution rather then a less then $50 prevention.
Preventative measures offer the best defense. Get vaxed. It's just that simple.
FUCK DEATHSANTIS

Lol, a true dtrumper.
It’s also a synthetic and originated with a aborted fetus in 1970. DeathSantis
for Ron DeathSantis is all about the $$$, just like his predecessor
All about the grift
That's what it really is, it's all about money for DeSantis!!! Not about you or your children!!! Wearing a mask is not hard at all it's just a freaking piece of fabric!!! BIG DEAL, WEAR IT!! SAME FOR YOUR KIDS!!!
It’s all about money for them
DeSantis and the rest of the gang are false they are misleading the people with their false narratives
BudGothmog44 Follow the money There is a lot more to the whole Pandemic and how the GOP has pocketed millions of government money promoting unproven treatments. Now they are touting Regeneron which is proven to work but costs $1500 a pop It started with Hydroychloroquine
'...in which a top donor's company has invested millions of dollars.' Of course he is. That's why the GOP wants to keep this pandemic going because they're getting rich off of the bio-med industry! The absolute greed of these people are killing us off slowly.
He is make million on it and break the law at the same time GovRonDeSantis insider trading
Welcome to the grift.
He has no shame.
JudyB1313 Fascinating how public health policy is so often tailored to the needs of corporate donors.
And he's promoting something that costs a fortune over the vaccines which are free to Floridians.
