Gov. Ron DeSantis called on Biden to allow the Sunshine State to purchase more monoclonal antibody treatments as omicron continues to spread. 

“We’re past the point now where we’re able to get it directly from any of these companies,” DeSantis said during a Monday press conference, per Fox News. 

“The federal government has cornered the entire market,” he continued. “They basically took control of the supply in September.” 

DeSantis noted that the Biden administration stopped sending Regeneron and Eli Lily monoclonal antibody treatments. The department later said it would allow states to order those products from Health and Human Services. 

At the end of December, Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ledapo sent Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra a letter requesting the government restore distribution of monoclonal antibody treatments to the state. 

“The federal government is actively preventing the effective distribution of monoclonal antibody treatments in the U.S.,” Ladapo wrote. “The sudden suspension of multiple monoclonal antibody therapy treatments from distribution to Florida removes a health care provider’s ability to decide the best treatment options for their patients in this state.”
