Federal Government Wants Racial Qualifications Added to COVID-19 Treatments:
Are you ready for woke death panels?
The federal government currently controls the market of monoclonal antibodies that are used to treat cases of the coronavirus and regulates the supply allocated to the states. Monoclonal antibodies are effective treatments and in some cases are literal lifesavers.
