DeSantis opens new battle with Biden over Covid treatments
TALLAHASSEE — Gov. Ron DeSantis has picked a new fight with the Biden administration over Covid treatments.
DeSantis shut down the five state administration sites he opened last week after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Monday cut Florida’s weekly allotment of monoclonal antibody cocktails. DeSantis fired back at the Biden administration for pulling the medicines, claiming the federal government withdrew the treatments without evidence.
“Without a shred of clinical data to support this action, Biden has forced trained medical professionals to choose between treating their patients or breaking the law,” DeSantis said in a statement late Monday night. “This indefensible edict takes treatment out of the hands of medical professionals and will cost some Americans their lives.”
DeSantis’ criticism came after the FDA stated that two monoclonal treatments, each made by Regeneron and Eli Lilly, are not effective against the Omicron variant, which is responsible for the vast majority of infections in the U.S. Federal officials would rather save those doses for use on other variants.

Dr. DeSantis feels he knows more than the FDA.
