While we were preparing for our emergency response to
Hurricane Nicholas yesterday, I received some news that not
only disappointed me but to be brutally honest it infuriated
me.
For over a month Montgomery County has been hosting a
regional monoclonal antibodies infusion center. Successfully
doing over 2,000 infusions. Both vaccinated and
unvaccinated patients have received infusions at this facility.
All of our patients to my knowledge have successfully gone
on to beat COVID without complications or the need for
hospitalization.
All of this came to a halt yesterday. As of yesterday the Biden
Administration is metering how many doses of Regeneron
are sent to Texas and thus limiting how many are sent to the
Montgomery County location. Telling Texas to reduce its use
of the therapeutic treatment that has literally been saving
lives and reducing hospitalizations.
Now l'd like to think this is because of a supply issue and it
will be temporary at best. But it's not. The manufacturer has
confirmed supplies are ample but due to the Defense
Production Act, the White House and it's agencies are the
only entities who can purchase and distribute this treatment.
So less than a week after the president tells us his patience
is wearing thin and he is mandating vaccines to millions of
Americans his administration limits and all but removes a
non-controversial and highly successful treatment from our
war chest of combating this virus.
T have repeatedly said that I am pro vaccine choice and
support your individual rights to determine whether the
vaccine is right for you. I believe the unconstitutional
mandate will be struck down in federal court but while we
wait for those cases to make their way through the system
we can't just stop treating people vaccinated or not with a
proven therapeutic. Mr. Biden has gone from dangling the
proverbial carrot, with his so called national strategy to
combat the virus, to throwing out the carrot and favoring the
stick instead.
Iwill not stand for this and no one in Montgomery County or
Texas for that matter should either. I will be reaching out to
our federal congressional delegation in the coming days to
seek their help at reversing this deadly position in favor of
keeping every tool in the war chest available for use for every
citizen not just the presidentially favored vaccinated ones.

How many were you applying and how many are
they limiting you to get? l'd like to see the numbers
to judge how bad this is or not.

Melba Aguilar our site goes through a few
hundred a day and we were receiving about
1500 a week. Now at zero. Moved 213 doses
around from other providers to resume
operations tomorrow. The fed take over of
direct ordering and now metering our doses
has nothing to do with supply. Regeneron has
it and can deliver. We went from direct
ordering last week to having to go through a
bureaucrat at HHS who decides who gets
what.
