Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: REGN) today announced that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Department of Defense (DOD) will purchase additional supply of the casirivimab and imdevimab antibody cocktail for use in non-hospitalized COVID-19 patients to meet the federal government's Operation Warp Speed goals. The government has said it will provide these doses at no cost to patients, though healthcare facilities may charge fees related to administration.

Under the new agreement, the government will purchase all finished doses of the casirivimab and imdevimab antibody cocktail delivered by June 30, 2021, up to 1.25 million doses. Under a previous agreement, Regeneron is already supplying doses to treat approximately 300,000 people, bringing the total potential purchase to over 1.5 million doses.

Interestingly enough, Abbott and DeSantis may not be in agreement with the CDC, but they are in agreement with a good number of health departments from the rest of the western world. As highlighted by Fox News, many developed countries have come to the same conclusion as Abbott and DeSantis in that it’s unnecessary to mask children, if not irresponsible to do so:

The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, an agency of the European Union, does not recommend masks for children 6 and under in any setting or for children 12 and under in a classroom setting. In the Republic of Ireland, children ages 13 and younger are only advised to wear a mask if they attend middle school. In Sweden, children have never been told to wear masks in school.

In Iceland, children ages 15 and younger are exempt from mask requirements. In Norway, schoolchildren 7 and younger are not required to wear masks. When it comes to the U.K., which is reporting a similar COVID-19 surge as the U.S., public health officials in England and Wales are no longer recommending masks in classrooms starting this September. In Scotland, children 12 and under are no longer required to wear face coverings in public places. And officials in Northern Ireland have indicated they plan to drop masking requirements in schools this fall.

In New Zealand, masks are not recommended in schools or for children younger than 6 in any public setting, but children or teachers who wish to wear them “may do so if they want to” and “should not be criticized for doing so,” the country’s Ministry for Education website currently states.

The perp was released on his own recognizance. He was a felon found in the possession of a gun, meth, xanax, loads of stolen mail that can be used for identity theft, a bunch of credit cards in different names, and multiple fake IDs. And yet he walks on OR. No bail. Gun possession by a felon is itself a felony in CA. Did they even investigate whether the credit cards had been used for theft?

I'm sure his hearing date is well after the election. //

So far we have in the Sept 14 Calif Governor Newsom Recall:

1. Stolen ballots found by police - 300 count so far
2. Video surveillance shows stealing ballots from bank of apartment mail boxes
3. Punch holes on ballot envelopes expose whether a yes on recall vote was cast
4. Flimsy see through ballot security envelopes can reveal other ballot markings
5. Jovan Pulizer showing a cheap flashlight against the envelope exposes the vote

Sure glad the operating consensus is ....no widespread fraud, baseless accusations of fraud, and charges of treason for even bringing this topic up.

Most secure election ever -- any complaints mean you are trying to suppress the vote.

far too many Republicans are content to sit behind their Maginot Line of judicial appointments and constitutional arguments, believing that the next war will be like the last. Meanwhile, Biden and his leftwing cohorts have realized that they can just go around those defenses by manipulating private businesses into doing what they want. Whether we are talking about vaccine mandates or Critical Race Theory, the strategy is the same.

Things can’t stop at just fighting the government. Every legal tool available, from lawsuits to boycotts to executive orders, must be wielded by state-level Republicans to stop this onslaught because once the door is opened on this stuff, it will never be closed. Big corporations are not your friend. Treat them accordingly.

We are at the precipice when it comes to individual rights in this country. Are Republican politicians content to watch the freedom of their constituents melt away under a misguided facade of libertarianism or do they engage on all fronts? Unfortunately, I don’t have an answer to that question.
