Florida governor.
Ron DeSantis is furious about reports that came out earlier this past week telling us
that one of his good friends who donated $10 million to an, uh, political committee supporting
Ron DeSantis also happens to own 16 million worth of the Regeneron pharmaceuticals.
And DeSantis of course, is traveling around the state, touting Regeneron treatment, opening
up Regeneron treatment facilities.
Some of them with COVID patients laying on the floor, clinging to life.
We've all seen those pictures.
Um, so
Yeah, he's, he's furious that people are reporting on this.
So he lashed out at reporters this past week, but he didn't actually attack the real fact
that he's trying to do this to benefit his donors.
He tried to misdirect the public with his statement as did his, uh, comm director, Christina
poo Shaw.
Here is what the Santa said.
Don't let anyone tell you that you're going to be charged thousands of dollars.
That is a lie.
That is a lie that is being disseminated for political purposes to try to dissuade people
from seeking life saving treatment.
And honestly, that's reprehensible.
Cool.
Um, literally nobody said that
Nobody said what you're saying.
They said your lying, and you're not even addressing the main fact that you're only
doing this to benefit your donor.
Nobody said people are going to have to pay thousands of dollars for the treatment.
What was reported by the associated press was that a Regeneron treatment costs the government
Little over a
Thousand dollars versus a vaccine that costs the government $25.
Nobody said, if you go seek the Regeneron treatment, you have to pay for it.
And honestly, that's the bigger issue.
You set this up to benefit your donor because you know, people get it for free.
So they're going to be more likely to do it.
The government is the one that has to pay a thousand dollars per person walking into
that Regeneron treatment facility.
That's the problem.
Your donor is guaranteed money off of this, but you see how the misdirection works.
He gets indignant gets angry.
How dare they say you're going to have to, you don't have to pay anything.
Cool.
That wasn't the point we brought up.
You're doing this to enrich your donor.
You want to address that at all?
Or are we just gonna, I'm just going to act like that's not a thing.
Oh, okay.
Apparently we're going to act like that's not the issue here.
Furthermore, I pointed this out on Twitter, by the way, you have all these anti-vax people
that are now totally cool with Regeneron, which has a Monaco monoclonal antibody treatment.
But these anti-vaxxers are saying, well, we don't know what's in the vaccine.
We don't know what M RNA is.
We didn't take high school science courses.
Um, and also it's not FDA approved the vaccine.
Cool.
Neither is Regeneron by the way.
And if you don't know what MRN is, I'm willing to bet you don't know what a monoclonal antibody
treatment is to write eight Emmaretta is actually something you do learn about in school monoclonal
antibody treatments, not so much, but yes, Regeneron much like the COVID vaccines were
granted emergency use all three [inaudible] by the FDA.
They're not fully approved by the FDA.
They're still being, you know,
Going through the approval process, still being analyzed, still running tests on it,
to see if it's actually even effective at this point, because there's been mixed results.
So
I love to see you.
These, anti-vaxxers not saying a word about monoclonal antibody treatment, even though
all the things they're afraid of with the vaccine.
Like that's literally also happening over here, but that's just a side point.
The big point is that DeSantis is doing this to enrich his donor.
And he's trying to misdirect the public to get them mad at something that nobody even
said in the first place.
