Monoclonal antibodies were 'doing nothing' against omicron. That's why FDA pulled its authorization.

Will someone please send Florida GOP Governor Ron DeSantis the memo?

I'm tired of his constant baby-whing about the FDA pulling its monoclonal antibodies authorization.
 
Except Omicron isn't the ONLY Covid out there.
 
Look, if the narrative you want to promote is that vaccines are the ONLY accepted agent that can be used to fight Covid then, as a government you HAVE to do this kind of thing. Unless the people know that if they refuse to get vaccinated you're going to cut off their jobs AND any other health care measures they'll never get vaccinated. The ends justify the means and if the boot of government control isn't being effective then government MUST press harder. If we allow people to do what they want and take what they want then we can never have freedom again and the authoritarians will take over. Total control is the ONLY way to preserve freedom.

Apparently, the vaccine isn't doing anything against Omicron either. Any chance the FDA pulls authorization from that one?

Josh darn it if a state wants to use thalidomide as a morning sickness remedy they should be allowed to regardless of what the FDA says

Actually, it's the doctors who want to use monoclonal antibodies. The state just wants to help them.

And you can push your hyperbole at a useful idiot. I'm not one of them.

You are dismissed.

Okay since you claim you know the deal, explain why mRNA vaccines with their spike proteins differentiate themselves from actually getting the virus with spike proteins!

Not at all. Where do you get this information?

He's probably referring to my original post which was entirely tongue and cheek. The vaccine is a therapeutic much like monoclonal antibodies. Neither will keep you from catching the virus but may help lessen symptoms.

Dang and I thought he was a scientific guru who could tell me the difference between spike proteins in an mRNA vaccine v the virus itself, since the anti vaccine guys are mentioning this point without elaborating.
