Imagine if Neil Young gets a few more major artists on board, the artists have nothing to fear because they are the majority and all they have to do is stand together!

btw., Joe Rogan was a big peddler of Trump's Regeneron cure, in fact Joe claimed at one stage he used it himself, but it's been withdrawn after being found to be useless against Sars-CoV-2! This type of misinformation is peddled, mostly stuff like HCQ, Ivermectin, Regeneron as a cure by the likes of Trump and Rogan, springs from COVID naysayers confusing a useful treatment for a comorbidity with Sars-CoV-2 treatment. If you get an ancillary infection, a parasite, bacteria or some secondary virus, doctors might find them useful, but against Sars-CoV-2 alone they are useless.

Quote:The FDA announcement was expected, as both drugmakers have said for weeks that the treatments are less able to target omicron because of its mutations. In updated drug labeling released Monday, the FDA said omicron appears 1,000-fold less vulnerable to Regeneron’s drug and nearly 3,000-fold less vulnerable to Lilly’s drug.

Quote:Federal officials said the FDA decision was supported by several independent studies, including a peer-reviewed paper published in the journal Nature last month. In that study, a consortium of European researchers tested the ability of several antibody drugs to neutralize a live sample of the virus, concluding that Lilly and Regeneron’s antibodies “were inactive against omicron.”

The American Medical Association, the nation’s largest physician group, said it agreed with the FDA decision, issuing a statement that read: “Limiting the use of these treatments will help ensure patients receive the best available therapy.”

Any other result would be laughable.
