Joe Biden and Ron DeSantis trade barbs as Florida's monoclonal antibodies restricted
Interesting conversation to be had on this one.
...and this is another one where I feel that both sides may have some explaining to do.
To the Democrat side:
If "human healthcare is a right, regardless of poor decisions" is a virtue, should certain life saving treatments be throttled, even if a state's current situation is the result of their own poor decisions?
To the Republican side:
If fiscal responsibility and
people should have to live with the consequences of their own poor decisions, and
If you want to make bad decisions, then go ahead, but I shouldn't have to pay for that are cornerstones of the conservative thought process, should federal resources (which everyone has to pay for) be subsidized for contingency plans for states where they're actively rejecting mitigation measures?
It seems to me that people on both sides are wanting to have it both ways on this one.
If one really believes "healthcare is a human right, no matter how poor their decision making is", then nobody should object to using federal resources to treat a person, even if that person did something stupid like trying to use Ivermectin instead of a free effective and safe vaccine.
If one really believes "everyone else shouldn't have to pay for your bad decisions, you live with the decision you make", then they shouldn't object to the restriction of Regeneron to states like Florida and Texas, where, the increased demand for such treatments is directly the result of people making poor choices with regards to virus mitigation and rejecting the vaccine in favor of quack treatments (or nothing at all).
