Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) this week continued his battle with the Biden administration over the distribution of lifesaving coronavirus treatment, as U.S. health regulators opted to revoke emergency use authorization (EUA) for Regeneron and Eli Lilly monoclonal antibody treatments — a move the governor deemed an “indefensible edict” as 2,000 Floridians had their appointments for such treatment canceled.
