Biden, September 9, 2021:
"Tonight, I’m announcing we will increase the average pace of shipment across the country of free monoclonal antibody treatments by another 50 percent."
INCREASE.
Less than a week later he CUT allocations to southern states by 50%.

The Biden COVID plan posted on the White House website on September 9 is even more clear. Said the 50% increase would be *in September*. It's still there!

There is no shortage. Regeneron's most recent public statement was that supply would be ample through the end of the year.
The "equity" claim the White House is making is expressly *temporal* equity. Deny sick people in the south now to stockpile for the north in the winter.
