the opening of a new monoclonal antibody treatment site in Merritt Island.

Again, this isn't intended as criticism, per se. These infusion centers are going to help a lot of COVID patients, while simultaneously helping ease the burden on Florida's overburdened hospitals.

MaddowBlog Monoclonal antibodies just help to relieve the symptoms of Covid 19, so you don't end up in the hospital. The antibodies are short lived and do not give protection against getting sick again...vaccinate!

MaddowBlog Offer RonDeSantisFL stock in mask and vaccine companies if you want him to promote them. Personal gain is the only thing Republicans understand and care about.
