Re: this is not possible

I'd be interested in some actual data vs. twitter anecdata.

Even though I'd certainly give it to vaccinated individuals before the unvaccinated that probably would represent a misuse of resources.

Re: this is not possible

Trying to understand how knowledge of variants and breakthroughs isn’t after everything else a call for urgency, but instead develops into rationale for hardening the cavalier?

Maximize anecdotal evidence from insignificant datasets, use anecdotal informaton to attempt to discredit large datasets.

We're wise to your game.

You mean like using data gathered from December 2020 to June 21 to prove only the unvaxed get covid?   No, I'm guessing you don't mean that.

Re: So what ?

I'm guessing that Jackson practices in Texas (UTMB, TAMU).  As per TexasMedical Association: 

  Patients 12 years and older with mild to moderate symptoms who are at risk for severe COVID-19 disease are eligible to receive monoclonal antibody treatments provided by the federal government. 

Texas created a Therapeutics Finder Map to assist physicians in locating facilities that are distributing the treatments. Physicians must contact the institutions directly to determine availability and to arrange for any infusion. Outpatient facilities are also encouraged to register with register online to receive and administer the antibody therapies.  

Facilities will provide the treatments free of cost but can charge an administration fee. Visit the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services website for coding and billing information. 

   I'm guessing that any high-risk immono-compromised persons (cancer patients etc.) are eligible and their doctors well within their rights to request antibodies, vaccinated or not simply because the vaccine might not be effective for them.

   We're talking about 60 patients at an emergency center, not 50,000.  Context matters.  You jumping to conclusions without knowing the whole story.

Re: So what ?

Yes, i fell for Sammy's not so clever conflation (and hysterical butthurtedness) of estimated deaths/hospitalizations vs. MCA treatement.

I'm sure that breakthrough cases can be unpleasant and potentially serious  and in most places you'd be eligible for MCAtreatment.

Re: So what ?

One day you guys say covid among the vax'ed is exceptionally rare, then next you're complaining about the unwashed being in line for treatment with you. 

Can you keep your story straight please.
