BUCK: Open Line Friday. Jordan in Nashville, Tennessee, Clay’s home state.

CLAY: Great town!

BUCK: What’s up?

CALLER: I just wanted to call to kind of talk about and bring attention to the difficulties of procuring alternate covid treatments, even though I live in a red state, under Biden’s administration. My husband currently has covid, and we were legitimately prescribed ivermectin, and we have not been able to find a pharmacy to sell it.

We called dozens. (chuckles) We tried different states. And people just laugh at us when we call. No one will fill it. And then my husband was on the list for monoclonal antibodies. He has mild asthma. And when the Biden administration took over distribution, they cut my state’s availability.

And they said my husband didn’t have a severe enough case with the limited numbers of antibodies available to receive treatment. So we had to press even harder than the normal person should have to do to try to find treatment for covid.

CLAY: Well, we hope your husband is gonna be okay, Jordan. And I think what you’re reflecting is the incredible pathway that the Biden administration has found itself on where they initially were saying of anyone who wanted to get treatment, for instance, with monoclonal antibodies, that it didn’t work and that it was junk science.

And now it’s working so well that they are restricting the distribution of those monoclonal antibodies to states like Florida and other red states that right now are dealing with a surge. And that surge, Buck, it’s moving to the Midwest; it’s gonna move to the Northeast. That’s what the data reflects is gonna happen.

BUCK: Thank you so much, Jordan. And, you know, as one former ivermectin user who had covid, I gotta tell you, I can appreciate how frustrated I would have been if I was told, “Oh, yeah, no. That MD that you’ve known for years and years and years who says it’s worth a shot, it’s not gonna hurt you? We’re not gonna fulfill his prescription even though it’s totally lawful because we, the pharmacy industry…” I mean, the whole thing has just gotten crazy.
