'People are going to die': Governors, lawmakers rip Biden's partisan rationing of COVID treatment

[Just The News] COVID-19 treatments popular in red states are becoming harder to obtain, leading some governors and lawmakers to accuse the Biden administration of rationing healthcare.

"People are going to die" because the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is rationing the distribution of Regeneron's monoclonal antibody treatment to states including Texas, Republican Rep. Brian Babin, a member of the GOP Doctors Caucus, said on the John Solomon Reports podcast.

"This is a federal takeover, and really seemingly punishing six conservative Republican red states" that have successfully treated COVID patients while resisting the president's mandates, said Babin, a longtime dentist who represents parts of Houston. Texas and other states "are being cut 30 to 50%," he claimed.

"It just goes without saying that this Biden administration doesn't care," said Babin, adding that "they flip-flop routinely" on vaccine mandates and lockdowns. Referring to Dr. Anthony Fauci, he said "the only thing you know that's always certain about this man is that he's uncertain."

Texas Rep. Chip Roy said a meeting with HHS left him with "more questions than answers" about the "throttling" of supply. Officials, he complained, gave him "crickets" when he asked twice for data on supply and manufacturing capacity compared to demand, and they offered "no clear evidence [of a] current shortage," the Republican tweeted Saturday.

#1 Of course people are going to die. I mean has it entirely escaped everybody's notice that the same people in charge of this carnival with all it's oversold, contradictory demands are the self same people who hold the majority of the population in the most profound contempt?

#3 Punishing/killing the non-compliant will not be a productive enterprise. Makes violence just a little easier.

#6 I am wondering when tort lawyers will make contact with bereaved family members whose dead relatives could have received possibly life-saving antibody treatments that were never offered to them in time, despite the medications being on the shelves of infusion centers nationwide and ready to be given.

You mean people like the "experts" of the Infectious Disease Society of America? Those "experts" who urged against using the antibodies back in November 2020 right after the FDA issued its EUA?
