Tennessee says vaccinated people should be last in line for antibody treatments

The ignorant TFG supporters favor monoclonal antibody treatments over vaccines The unvaccinated are all idiots who should be allowed to die in favor of the more intelligent members of society who got the vaccine Vaccinated persons will be helped by these treatments more than the ignorant unvaccinated

Unvaccinated people in Tennessee now have priority access to one of the few COVID-19 drugs shown to reduce hospitalization and death: monoclonal antibody treatment.

The state's government recommended this week that most vaccinated residents should be last in line for the treatment, which comes in the form of infusions or injections, the Tennessean reported Monday.

The drugs are designed to mimic the body's natural immune response by targeting certain coronavirus proteins and preventing them from entering our cells. The Food and Drug Administration authorized the first monoclonal antibody treatment for COVID-19 in November.

But the drugs are in short supply in Tennessee and across the US as the Delta variant continues to spread in states with low vaccination rates. In Tennessee, where just 44% of the population is fully vaccinated, COVID-19 cases still hover above 5,000 per day.
