FLORIDA: Gov. DeSantis introduces Evusheld a new monoclonal antibody product for pre-exposure prevention of COVID-19
Florida’s Governor Ron DeSantis is doing everything in his power to offer the residents of the sunshine state options to prevent, cure and fight the Covid virus.
Governor DeSantis’ newest effort include Evusheld. Evusheld is a combination of 2 monoclonal antibodies which are SARS-COV-2 spike protein-directed attachment inhibitors.
Watch:
In the below Tweet Governor DeSantis wrote, “It is authorized specifically for individuals who are immunocompromised or have a history of severe reactions to vaccines.”
According to the Evusheld website:
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for the emergency use of the unapproved product EVUSHELDTM (tixagevimab co-packaged with cilgavimab) for the pre-exposure prophylaxis of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in adults and pediatric individuals (12 years of age and older weighing at least 40 kg):
- Who are not currently infected with SARS-CoV-2 and who have not had a known recent exposure to an individual infected with SARS-CoV-2 and
- Who have moderate to severe immune compromise due to a medical condition or receipt of immunosuppressive medications or treatments and may not mount an adequate immune response to COVID-19 vaccination or
- For whom vaccination with any available COVID-19 vaccine, according to the approved or authorized schedule, is not recommended due to a history of severe adverse reaction (e.g., severe allergic reaction) to a COVID-19 vaccine(s) and/or COVID-19 vaccine component(s).
EVUSHELD has been authorized by FDA for the emergency use described above. EVUSHELD is not FDA-approved for any use, including use for pre-exposure prophylaxis of COVID-19.
EVUSHELD is authorized only for the duration of the declaration that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of the emergency use of EVUSHELD under section 564(b)(1) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 360bbb-3(b)(1), unless the authorization is terminated or revoked sooner.

Interesting details and Desantis does the job.
But for FS, why is he not pushing the use of Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine? Now been porven to work in Africa, Japan, Brazil and many other countries in preventing people from hospitalisation and also as a prophylactic.
To me seems far cheaper and far easier. And stuff the FDA and their ridiculous rules on Ivermectin and HCQ.
Cliff,
Thanks for reading and commenting. Governor DeSantis is also giving Floridians access to both Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine as well. Evusheld is just another arrow in the quiver to combat this virus.
Forget Trump. America needs DeSantis for President!!! We can not afford to waste any more time on Trump. We are losing our nation right now as we speak. Running out of time.
Trump is the answer. I would support a Trump-DeSantis ticket in 2024. With this ticket we can save America.
you can’t be that stupid.
Please explain. Are you not in favor of using any and all methods to insure those infected are cured?
Where is there access to Ivermectin & Hydroxychloroquine? Pharmacies say they are not allowed to dispense them.
As we understand it The 6 largest pharmacies with locations in Florida (CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Humana, Publix, and Costco) and 2 mail-order pharmacy companies (Cigna-Express Scripts and Optum Rx by UnitedHealth).
