                   POTENTIAL TREATMENTS FOR COVID-19

  (Mr. GROTHMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. GROTHMAN. Madam Speaker, it was a very disappointing recess. I 
knew at least three more people who passed away because of the COVID.
  For that reason, I was very disappointed in President Biden's 
comments earlier today on television, in that I think he could have 
brought up things that would have prevented some of these unnecessary 
deaths.
  First of all, President Trump's COVID was cured by monoclonal 
antibodies 16 months ago. Nevertheless, in my district, we have a 
shortage of monoclonal antibodies. I have doctors or clinics calling me 
wondering where they are. It is a good question.
  They were available for the President of the United States 16 months 
ago. But, for some reason, President Biden and his team have shortages 
of monoclonal antibodies in my district that I am convinced would have 
saved some of these lives.
  The next thing I will point out is that my doctors tell me that 
people are better off if they are taking vitamin D, vitamin C, zinc, 
quercetin. All these things would save people's lives if they were 
taking them up front before they got the virus.
  But again, President Biden gives a big speech. No comments on this; 
just let people die.
