‘Partisan Payback’: Florida’s Leading Nation In Lifesaving Antibody Care. Biden Just Restricted Its Supply.

In a move that’s been criticized as an act of “partisan payback,” President Joe Biden is effectively cutting lifesaving antibody treatment from COVID-positive Floridians without any signs of a treatment shortage.
And the majority of Floridians who need the medication are fully vaccinated.
Florida Bill Banning Vaccine Passports Contains Hidden Clause Allowing for MASS FORCED VACCINATIONS

Florida Senate Bill 2006, passed by the Florida legislature and signed into law by Governor Ron DeSantis on May 3rd of this year, famously banned vaccine passports statewide in a much-touted triumph of the state government over its own power.

Florida Governor DeSantis Uses Common Sense And Enrages Leftists, Now Prioritizing Vaccines For Age 60 And Older

DeSantis Announces Flags Will Fly At Half-Staff In Honor Of Rush Limbaugh

Travel Ban: White House Considers Restricting Travel To And From … Florida

Trump never did this, right? It wouldn’t have been in keeping with his “reopen everything ASAP” approach to the pandemic. The closest he got that I can recall was in the earliest days of COVID last March, when most of the country was seeing relatively low caseloads but New York City was blowing up. At that moment the virus could still semi-plausibly be framed by Republicans as a “blue-state problem,” in which case why not seal off the blue states where the problem was raging? Trump’s former pandemic advisor, Tom Bossert, explicitly called for a cordon sanitaire of NYC at the time, in fact.
