From my posts about this to the Shoutbox:
The background to that NY racist policy is the LIEden Kovid Krew F-Up I linked above, (this thread's OP link).
The Eli Lilly and Regeneron mabs, SUPPOSEDLY, are ineffective against Omicron, and the Feds stopped distributing it when they got the stat that Omicron was 73.2% of Covid cases. I'm skeptical of this, but will look over Eli Lilly's and Regeneron's Press Releases webpages.
After God knows how many hundreds or thousands of people nationwide who had Covid were refused the treatments, because the Feds withheld the meds, the real numbers came it at 22.5% Omicron cases.
Those hundreds or (more probably) thousands could not receive effective mab treatments because LIEden's Krew micromanaged the supply wrongly using bogus data.
As for Pfizer's Paxlovid and Merck's Molnupiravir, LIEden's Kovid Krew chose not to do what Trump's OWS did, pre-order when test data started showing they were looking effective. I suspect LIEden's Kovid Krew also failed to order sotrovimab in significant quantity and in a timely way.
When Pfizer's and Moderna's vaccines were authorized, the companies had millions of doses ready to ship. Not so, Paxlovid and Molnupiravir. Trump's OWS also contracted for things necessary for the coming large scale vaccination program - syringes & needles, alcohol wipses, gauze pads, etc..
Failing to plan is planning to fail. LIEden's Krew's failure to plan probably cost scores of lives that shouldn't have been, and possibly hundreds of hospitalizations that should have been necessary.
Don't look for BMM and the rest of the Alphabet-Soupers or the WashPost-NYT Biden-Beholden Info-Guardians to cover (beyond de-fanged token mention) or investigate this LIEden Kovid Krew F-Up.
