You may remember back in September when the Biden administration cut off the supply of lifesaving monoclonal antibody treatment to states like Texas and Florida.
Supposedly, the move was designed to make distribution of the drugs more "equitable." In reality, Biden was trying to punish states that refused to get on board with his vaccine-mask-lockdown agenda and instead wanted to offer their residents a broader range of treatment options.
Now, that decision is coming home to roost.
Five urban centers in Texas announced yesterday that they have run out of the COVID antibody treatment, and they won't be able to get more for several weeks. Likewise, the Florida surgeon general slammed the Biden administration for cutting off their supply of the lifesaving treatment even as the Omicron variant surges.
"The federal government is actively preventing the effective distribution of monoclonal antibody treatments in the U.S.," Florida Surgeon General Joseph A. Ladopo. "The sudden suspension of multiple monoclonal antibody therapy treatments from distribution to Florida removes a health care provider’s ability to decide the best treatment options for their patients in this state. This shortsightedness is especially evident given that the federal government effectively prohibited states from purchasing these monoclonal antibodies and serving their populations directly."
President Joe Biden is playing politics with peoples' lives. His politically motivated policies will cause the deaths of Americans in Texas, Florida, and any other state that hasn't been able to receive the antibody treatment. As Texas Gov. Greg Abbott pointed out, this directly contradicts the president's vow to help states fight the Omicron surge.
Biden vows full federal support to help states combat COVID. But he’s not.

Biden is hoarding the anti-body therapeutic drugs & denying states independent access to that medical treatment.
Now, he has stopped providing any of that medicine to Texas. https://t.co/e0D36ulIpJ
It's time to put the federal government back in its place. Joe Biden believes that all he has to worry about is the next election, and he knows he can rely on his base of supporters to vote for him no matter what.
But a Convention of States gives us another, more powerful way to hold the president accountable.
An Article V Convention of States is called and controlled by the states and has the power to propose constitutional amendments. These amendments can limit the power, scope, and jurisdiction of the federal government and significantly limit the president's ability to act unilaterally.
With this complete package of amendments in place, the president will become what the Framers intended him to be: little more than an administrator who is tasked with enforcing only the laws passed by the peoples' representatives in Congress.
He will no longer have the power to issue executive orders or nationwide mandates. He will be forced back into his constitutional box where he will only have the authority to control those topics expressly mentioned in the Constitution (healthcare isn't in there, in case you're wondering).
