Rep Foster of Illinois is asking about MABs in committee. He requests GAO oversight and Defense Act implementation to get manufacturing of MABs to maximum amounts. Company A’s cells, Company B’s optimization, and Company C’s manufacturing facilities. Foster says we don’t have time for politicization of this contractural processes to go forward like normal.

Dr Fauci remarked that Foster brings up a good point about MABs and they will be useful in fighting the disease. Paraphrased, “ As you know Congressman, there have been two trials this week, one outpatient for moderate patients, and one in hospital for more severe. And we’re very hopeful about these.”
