I wonder if this somewhat reflects an over abundance of vaccines now available in the US, something I guessed would happen a few months back.

New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has announced a nationwide lockdown after the country confirmed one coronavirus case.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbot has tested positive.

Per HuffPo, he quickly got the Regeneron antibody treatment.  From the same source, he has told friends that he has had a 3rd shot.

He and the Oklahoma governor are neck-and-neck.

Are COVID Hospitalizations High Where You Live? Look Up Your Hospital : Shots - Health News : NPR

Not a good look, but I had a notion the case numbers were resulting in fewer hospitalizations.

 No - don’t you know longhorn.   CW is inferring he got it due to his political affiliation. He is abandoning his theory that everyone should get vaccinated.  I guess he figures if you’re not a Democrat then not only should you get vaccinated but you must avoid getting the virus at all costs and if you don’t it’s clearly due to your lack of education and information.

but then he turns around and quotes one of the most liberal rags out there, the Huffington TP.

Yes, he did.

So--I wonder--why did he take the Regeneron treatment?
And why did he take the 3rd shot, to which he is not entitled.

Guys like him, in both parties, illustrate what's wrong with our politics.
And, as I posted earlier, my governor is right there with him.

You don't mind politics, HB.  You don't get upset hearing praise for Ron De Santis or scatalogical denunciations of the Michigan governor or praise for the former president.
You just mind politics that are not in line with yours.

I don't know about being "entitled" to a 3rd shot or not, when it's the current CDC and FDA guidance.

As for the Regeneron, this is what the FDA says about it in their authorization for public use:

https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/coronavirus-covid-19-update-fda-authorizes-monoclonal-antibodies-treatment-covid-19

Quote
Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued an emergency use authorization (EUA) for casirivimab and imdevimab to be administered together for the treatment of mild to moderate COVID-19 in adults and pediatric patients (12 years of age or older weighing at least 40 kilograms [about 88 pounds]) with positive results of direct SARS-CoV-2 viral testing and who are at high risk for progressing to severe COVID-19. This includes those who are 65 years of age or older or who have certain chronic medical conditions.

Abbott is 63, and due to his paralysis is likely to have multiple chronic underlying medical conditions.

The entire purpose of the Regeneron is to prevent mild cases from becoming major ones, so I'm really not following your logic there, at all.  Seems like you're standing up a straw man in an attempt to make a political point.

And if so, please do it on some other thread.  "In other news" is the defacto politics thread around here.

Why would he not take Regeneron if it’s shown to be effective in preventing the development of symptoms?

what did he do that falls under the category of do as I say not as I do? Can you name one thing?

It’s not like he’s Rashid Talib or Cory cook or Kamala Harris or Nancy Pelosi or Obama or Joe Biden or Laurie Lightfoot or Cuomo or Whitmer, those we have been busted multiple times breaking the rules they impose on others

I'm not well versed on Regeneron, but is it available for the general public to use?  What types of red tape would need to be cut through for a normal person to get it?

Completely false. I don’t come into this thread wanting to see politics. There is another thread for that. But certain posters, and you are clearly one of them simply cannot have a conversation about these topics without it being completely political.

To me, that is the real definition of a online troll. I actually have a great deal of respect for you CW but lately your posts have been so political so if you’re going to throw it out there you have to expect counter opinions to be heard.
