FNC's Dr. Siegel: 'The Biden Administration Needed to Extend Operation Warp Speed to Therapeutics,' Focus Has Been Solely on Vax

On Friday’s “Fox News Live,” Fox News Medical Contributor and Clinical Professor at NYU Grossman School of Medicine Dr. Marc Siegel stated that “there’s been such a narrow, laser focus on” vaccines and booster shots, and “The Biden administration needed to extend Operation Warp Speed to therapeutics, absolutely.”

Siegel said, [relevant remarks begin around 2:30] “I’m a huge proponent of the vaccine, and I’m a huge proponent of the booster shot. But even the booster shot is not that available right now, Anita, you can’t even get that in the pharmacy. So, you’re absolutely right, there’s been such a narrow, laser focus on that, not enough on therapeutics.

“And to be totally fair, when I interviewed former President Trump last year in July in the White House, he said, very excited about therapeutics, that was part of Operation Warp Speed. They needed to extend that to this. The Biden administration needed to extend Operation Warp Speed to therapeutics, absolutely.”
