“Another blunder by the criminal, fraudulent Biden regime that will cost who knows how many lives.” Admin
While the new omicron variant of COVID-19 is spreading in the United States, cases of the previous delta variant still remain.
One doctor in Maryland said President Joe Biden seemed unaware of this fact — and that lack of knowledge will prove deadly.
Dr. Ron Elfenbein, who serves as the medical director and CEO of FirstCall Medical Center in Gambrills, Maryland, told Fox News on Wednesday that his center had been using antibody treatments made by Regeneron and Eli Lilly to treat COVID-19. These treatments were effective against the delta variant.
However, the Biden administration halted their distribution on Dec. 23, saying they were not effective against the omicron variant.
On Dec. 20, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the omicron variant made up 73.2 percent of all new cases in the United States. As such, the Biden administration apparently felt the antibody treatments would no longer be effective.
Yet this week, the CDC revised its breakdown.
For the week ending on Dec. 18, it said, the omicron variant comprised just an estimated 22.5 percent of new cases. The delta variant made up 77 percent of new cases that week, while 0.5 percent of cases were other variants.
In other words, the Biden administration halted effective treatments for the delta strain of COVID-19 while that strain was still very prominent in the United States.
As a result of the federal government’s misstep, Elfenbein said, he had to cancel monoclonal antibody infusions for about 250 people last week. In many cases, he said, the treatment was potentially life-saving.
