White House press sec. Jen Psaki calls Florida Gov. DeSantis' opposition to FDA decision limiting monoclonal antibody treatments found to be ineffective against omicron 'crazy,' says he is advocating for treatments 'that don't work.'

Elton John has tested positive for COVID-19, forcing him to postpone his concerts on Jan. 25 and Jan. 26 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, according to a statement from the venue.Elton John performs during the Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour at Smoothie King Center, Jan. 19, 2022, in New Orleans.

"This is wrong what they are doing, and we have many people now who are very concerned because they were going to go in and get it today or tomorrow," DeSantis said during a press conference Tuesday. Following the FDA's decision, Florida health officials announced that monoclonal antibody treatment sites would be shut down across the state. More than 2,000 appointments for the treatments were canceled statewide on Tuesday alone, according to the governor's office.

Dr DeSantis doesn’t know crap and only hurts Floridians. Where is his MD doctorate ?

So: 'Let the people of Florida die' because he can't use an ineffective treatment for COVID-19 rather than telling them to 1) Wear a mask and 2) Get vaccinated. The 2 proven methods of protection available. Let's see: 90 % chance of dieing or a headache for 2 days.. Hmmmm.

Why is he making a big deal, he doesn't support mask or the vaccine.

RonDeSantisFL so much for that fancy Ivy League education.

Because he’s a medical “expert” so much arrogance

How can people trust anything these people say anymore when they are fighting amongst themselves?

When did he go to medical school?

DeSantis close your mouth are you trying to catch flys

What part of 'found to be ineffective' does Ron DeSantis not understand?

If he’s going to practice meds, he can be sued for medical malpractice because his advice is killing people. And I bet he’s profiting in some way

The shit we have to deal with down here is tiresome.

Hey Florida, some of, if not most of ya all voted for him. So u r stuck with him until....

Hey DeSantis! You know what really does work against covid? Vaccines and masks 😷.

I am fully vaccinated and had COVID thru Christmas. I had the antibody infusions and recovered very quickly. If these wacko liberals would ask real people instead of pushing their vaccines, which are fraud, Americans could fight this easier!!

Comments are crazy..many hospitals were using the monoclonal antibodies as I know several people who had they administered. Don’t understand this FDA decision at all.

The only reason the Desantis is crying is because he owns major stock options in the company providing that treatment. Why won't anybody report on what he owns

deathsantis fight back, for your life.......

Fl needs a vaccine to protect them from him. There's already an antibody treatment widely available. It's free. It's called the vaccine. You make your own antibodies.

Goobenor rondesanitizer, whose made a career during this covid plague banning/mitigating/denying reliable plague fighting tools for use by Floridians, is pissed that his pet regeneron tool is NOT effective and not FDA approved. Ron, vaccines work.

He get a medical degree from Trump university?

They were found to be effective you hacks

Thank you. Until they can prove that the Delta is completely eradicated MAB should be dispensed

Good, let’s get the evidence on both sides into court and let it decide whether the FDA acted within its authority.

Florida, o Florida! I'm all the way in Uganda but everyday I look out for what's coming out of Florida 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Follow the money they tell you exactly who they are

He’ll probably run for the Senate! I hear the Republicans are rather fond of stupidity!🙄

DeSantis' approach to FL's COVID epicenters: Fine people, schools, & businesses for protecting against infection, hospitalization, & death. Divert federal COVID Aid from safeguards to his political campaigns. Now his monoclonal has become a version of Trump's Lysol Cocktails.

Got caught on the WRONG SIDE OF THE TRADE. LOL.

Of course, he’s defending his business interests.

Lol!

Federal funds need to be withheld from Florida.

Never let good pandemic go waste

Shouldn’t we all wait to find out what’s in their findings before we get jabbed ?

$1000 PER SECOND

Enough lol

BA2variant is in Denmark and the Netherlands. COVIDisAirborne

It's not Elton John. He was switched, beware of false idols. COVID is switches getting the black death. God CalledUp

Still the flu. Not news anymore. Thanks

2 years of vaxx and boosters that don't work just to make more variants and break through cases

She is a bold liar

I like to think that the Federal Government is above being extremely cavalier with people's health/safety just to play politics. But I know better than that. This is disgusting.

Left Lies. It works. What kind of Hate does it take for leftists to act this way

Florida is a mess

The opposition to science has its own agenda & it has nothing to do with peoples health. In fact it is about using people to cause division “among us”. These same people offer no proactive approach to anything and are only reactive to everything. Positivity requires intelligence

You all have so much why is count up every day. Good talking points

GO JEN GO!!

So now the white house spokesperson is a medical expert?

LA County Sees Drop In COVID-19 Hospitalizations, But Transmission Rate Remains HighThe winter surge of coronavirus cases seems to be tapering slightly though medical professionals caution the public to maintain precautions. We are going to look back on the past couple of years and realize that almost every policy decision on COVID was not only wrong, but caused harm. Almost everything we’ve been told was a lie. We don’t even know the full scope of the destruction gov’t has caused yet. It’s massive.
