A true hero. Give him a medal. Prosecute the prosecutors and all those involved in lawfare.

Ron Elfenbein's avatar

Thank you very much for sharing and saying that Marco. This has been by far the most difficult thing I've ever had to deal with in my entire life, having your own government, persecute you and come after you and try to destroy you. It's just unconscionable what they did. Thank you.

Marco's avatar

Ron you deserve all the credit. I just hope that the publicity reaches the Trump DOJ and they drop all charges with a sincere apology...and compensation for all that this terrible episode has cost you, at least financially.

I had COVID-19 in December of 2020. 105 fever, 90% O2, 10 of a Headache and major weakness. I was given the monoclonal 4 hour infusion at Holy Cross Hospital in Fort Lauderdale and within 5 hours, my fever dropped to 100, my HA dropped to a 3 and I felt energized. I felt almost normal in a day after the infusion. It was the best antiviral I ever took. My brother died in January 2021 from COVID HE HAD SINCE OCTOBER 2020.

Robert M Easton Jr OD FAAO's avatar

BTW, my brother did not have access to the monoclonal AB infusion in October of 2020 at Mary Washington Hospital in Virginia. He was on a ventilator 18 days, had 60% O2 and coded when he was dismissed to a rehab center after 90 days in ICU. The rehab center was not attentive and had no idea how to care for a COVID patient. My brother survived COVID but died by mismanagement. Very tragic to my mom and my family.

Ron Elfenbein's avatar

Thank you for sharing. That is a very sad and tragic story and I'm very sorry to hear it. I'm glad you got better. The monoclonal really were miraculous and were the cure for Covid. How they could keep that cure from the population just mystifies me and makes me so angry. And then the fact that they tried to destroy me for saying something is just icing on the cake. These are some evil people were talking about. Again, I'm very sorry about your brother. I wish I could have helped him.

Ron Elfenbein's avatar

And I really

Mean that. I see it might sound "wrong" but I truly meant it. Myself or anyone else giving that lifesaving medicine.... your brother's story is not unique unfortunately and it is UNCONSCIONABLE that it happened...to him and others. Makes me so angry!!! That's what got me in trouble.... speaking out and speaking truth to power. Again, I'm very sorry for your tragic loss

If you need a S Florida advocate, count me in. Gov DeSantis believed in the monoclonal infusion so much he set up infusion centers around the state. BIDEN CLOSED THEM DOWN!

Ron Elfenbein's avatar

I know. Check out my stuff on X. I've been on Dr Drew, Diamond and Silk , Ann Vandersteel, etc.... hollering about PRECISELY that for months.... these evil people took Florida's supply away when there was a major outbreak in Florida basically consigning lots of people to die, or be hospitalized.... people who were sick and old and needed the monoclonal but could not get them. Thank God that Ron DeSantis used, taxpayer funds and went out and purchased it on his own and did what he needed to do despite the federal government. But what they did is completely unconscionable and in defensible. It's disgusting and evil and sick.

Lori's avatar

DeSantis rocks!

Tee Rigodanzo's avatar

Robert, I'm sorry for the loss of your brother. Ron, I'm sorry for whatever persecution you suffered from speaking out.

I had Covid FEB, 2020 which took 2 weeks for me to recover On My Own. Also I Did Not Lock Down.

Please consider signing this resolution - keeping in mind that this was a Global SCAM - https://covidjustice.org/

Lori's avatar

Yes, DeSantis had them all over. I remember seeing lines all over waiting for the infusions at local parks. And then they were gone bc of evil Biden.

Cia Parker's avatar

What got you in trouble was fraudulently billing insurance companies millions of dollars. It's all out there in gory detail - which I'll fill in later, if you haven't blocked me by then.

Lori's avatar

You again. Need Porn Always handle. Could you be more gross and to think you have a daughter. We don't want to hear anything from you. You are evil and despicable. Karma is coming for you.

The Hippocratic Oath, "First do no harm", is an Oath that should be a felony if proven to be disregarded.

Lori's avatar

Dr. Ron, you had to speak up and out because that is the kind of doctor you are. You put your patients first and you are not only a hero but a warrior for good. Think of the lives you saved and kept families intact. That is priceless. Blessings to you always.

Ron Elfenbein's avatar

Wow thank you Lori!!!

Christine's avatar

so,so sorry you and your family had to go through this. So many died on the ventilators and so many died because wholistic methods and other treatments were denied even when obviously healing people.And the Dr.'s right to prescribe what he or she felt was right was also denied.Covid was a travesty that never should have happened.

No words for this kind of loss. Your dearest Mom lost her son which is devastating.

Please give your mother a hug from me. I can't imagine her agony.

Root Causes's avatar

That's great that you did well. This prosecution had nothing to do with treatment, monoclonal antibodies or otherwise - never raised as a defense. Never mentioned until the last few months. It was upcoding and overbilling for thousands of patients that simply passed through for rapid nasal antigen test in 2020 and 2021. Please read about it.

Please read about the actual prosecution

Lori's avatar

I am so happy to hear you recovered and so quickly. My heart hurts that you lost your brother. A sadness and void that will always be there. Please take good care of yourself.

Holy Cross is a very good hospital.

Anyone who challenged or ignored the official narrative, which was 99% lies, was attacked, persecuted, decredentialed, fired, and/or prosecuted.

Kathryn Hamblin's avatar

My sister died in December of 2020, not because of covid, but because a ventilator was used when she had difficulty breathing. Later, from other sources, I read that doctors were paid around $300 if they would use ventilators on patients.

I wondered if that was indiscriminately used by greedy doctors instead of treating patients more appropriately. This was in Bakersfield, California, and at the time, travel was restricted, motels were unavailable, patient visits were denied, and I could not go 800 miles from Northern CA to advocate for my sister under those conditions.

I am so sorry for all those that lost loved ones to fraudulent practices. Certainly, hero doctors who tried their best to do the right thing should not be prosecuted and, instead, should be commended for their heroics.

Alfalfa's avatar

Greedy Dr. Elfenbein ran COVID testing drive thtoughs and walk through at BWI airport and overbilled thousands - $350 each for the stick in the nose test. O er ten million dollars.

That's why he was prosecuted.

Ron Elfenbein's avatar

Thank you for saying this. It is so true and so unfortunate but as my teenage daughters would say "facts".... you are spot on

Root Causes's avatar

Folks here rant about waste, FRAUD and ABUSE.

Elfenbein committed massive fraud, to the tune of ~$15M - Billing insurers for 1000s of evaluation and management visits that never occurred.

Thousands of people that drive-through his clinics for rapid antigen tests for return to work, travel, etc. were billed for High Complexity Evaluation and Management visits. He instructed his staff to do this.

His case has nothing to do with "monoclonal antibodies" or treatment choices.

Angela's avatar

Where are your receipts? The good doctor said they never even asked him about his billing practices, so what makes you so sure about this?

I tend to believe this doctor & not the Biden DOJ. Hopefully, the Trump DOJ will make this all go away. It's all total nonsense all because of what TDS does to the leftists who can't stand the fact that on most occasions, Trump is absolutely correct.

Root Causes's avatar

If he said that, he thinks he can treat this community like complete idiots. Not only were the case and trial ONLY about billing, but monoclonal antibodies were never mentioned - treatment was never mentioned - by prosecution or defense, or any of the wide media coverage - until fairly recently. He was charged in 2022 and has been in and out of court since.

https://www.ca4.uscourts.gov/opinions/244048.P.pdf

He was so fine with the CDC/NIH COVID official line - so much so that he milked it for millions of dollars - convincing the state of Maryland to let his employees run rapid testing facilities at BWI International Airport in 2020 and 2021. So that they could overbill thousands of people.

Does that sound like a covid contrarian or "skeptic?"

Mary Makary's avatar

He got swept up in the first round of prosecutions for large scale COVID-related healthcare fraud Would you believe ANYTHING you were shown, unless it came directly from one of your few accepted truth-tellers?Any evidence against someone you're already considering a hero will be reinterpreted as proof that the person is being "censored" or "persecuted."

I could link you to court documents and transcripts, to local and national news coverage, to press releases by Maryland.

Root Causes's avatar

The jury convicted Elfenbein of five counts of health care insurance fraud.

Ron Elfenbein ... owner and the medical director of First Call Medical Center and Chesapeake ERgent Care ... operated multiple drive-through COVID-19 testing sites in Anne Arundel and Prince George’s counties. Elfenbein instructed the employees ... that, in addition to billing for COVID-19 tests, the employees were to bill for high-level evaluation and management visits. In reality, these visits were not provided to patients as represented. Rather, Elfenbein instructed his employees that the patients were “there for one reason only – to be tested,” that it was “simple and straightforward,” and that the providers were “not there to solve complex medical issues.”

Elfenbein ordered these high-level visits to be billed for all patients, including those who were asymptomatic, who were getting tested for COVID-19 for their employment requirements, and who were being tested for COVID-19 so that they could travel. Elfenbein, through Drs ERgent Care, caused the submission of millions of dollars in claims to Medicare and a commercial insurer for tens of thousands of high-level visits that were not provided as represented and were ineligible for reimbursement.

Letsrock's avatar

That's called LAWFARE.

Cia Parker's avatar

You are called HILARIOUS

Root Causes's avatar

How does that address the fact that he instructed employees at his urgent care facilities to code every drive-through nose-swab test as a complex medical visit? His fraud cost government and private insurers and patients over ten million dollars - in 2020 and 2021. Nothing to do with treating patients or with monoclonal antibodies.

john galt's avatar

Too many corrupt officials in the DOJ during the Biden obscenity, which I hope have left or been removed from a good house-cleaning. If not, we are all threatened by their totally woke and corrupt ideology that would be more properly operating in one of the authoritarian countries they mimic.

Ron Elfenbein's avatar

Yes 1000%. Thank you for sharing.

Alfalfa's avatar

How is this guy who ran a huge fraud operation a "COVID HERO!" MTB has recently been working hard to martyrize this urgent care clinic owner. He defrauded insurers, including Medicare and Medicaid of millions and millions of dollars.

https://southernmarylandchronicle.com/2022/04/22/aaco-doctor-indicted-in-covid-19-fraud-scheme/

He billed insurers (including government) $350 complex medical visit X thousands per week - When all they did was quick nasal swab testing - Same as the home tests which weren't available then. People needed negative results for work or travel.

Elfenbein weaved the monoclonal antibody narrative into his resurrection efforts long after both trials. He was prosecuted in 2022 for major covid-related fraud, billing millions for services never performed. He was prosecuted for that. You can read through court documents and see NOT A WORD about MONOCLONAL antibodies as recently as July 2025;

The monoclonal antibody stuff sounds like just another hack for money.

What animals do these come from? Are they fro people?

The covid shots are not vaccines and therefore the manufacturers/profiteers deserve no liability protection.

Ron Elfenbein's avatar

The monoclonal antibodies are a technology that have been around for YEARS and used for many purposes. In COVID they CURED people-and fast.... All I know is is they worked like nothing I have seen before or since. They put the EUA for the vaccines in DIRECT risk of being revoked which is why they had to be pulled....

Mourning Warbler's avatar

How do you know they cured people? Where do these cells come from?

Ron Elfenbein's avatar

They are NOT cells. They are SINGULAR copies of 1 antibody-they are proteins…copied a gazillion times. ONE antibody ….and I can read the data AND I witnessed it TIME AND TIME again first hand. They worked. they cured people. People were sick…they got infused and often times WHILE the infusion was going in they felt better, usually within a few hours. I have NEVER seen anything like it in my career…. It was truly remarkable

Mourning Warbler's avatar

Glad you saw them get well. Are the monoclonal antibodies from a single rat white blood cell line?

Ron Elfenbein's avatar

Actually they used Chinese hamster ovaries.... for whatever reason that is the cell line of choice to produce mass quantities of antibodies...

Mourning Warbler's avatar

I wonder why doctors don't respect the human immune system? Instead of pounding patients with antibiotics and antivirals, and instead of administering weird stuff from unclean animals, they could cultivate what God put there. They could try to restore the microbiome they have so profitably destroyed. Maybe there could be a rebirth of medicine and agriculture.

DeeDeeGM's avatar

I don’t know if I’ll EVER stop being furious over COVID. All the friends that I tried to tell - do you think one of them has been simply honest enough to say, “you know, you were right. I fell for it”? No. Not one. If the people I KNOW won’t admit they were duped and should have seen through it? Certainly not a soul in government or the bureaucracy that rules us will! I want someone to answer for it! I better go drink some coffee and calm down.

Tee Rigodanzo's avatar

And we should never stop being angry about it! Some called it The Great Pandemic . . . truly it was The Great AWAKENING. Yes, it has taken far too long for justice of the Global Evil which perpetrated this PLANDEMIC.

Margretta Chase's avatar

God forbid a doctor actually helped a patient heal! Especially during a planned depopulation “epidemic”. A license to “practice” medicine is not to heal, but to scam, cheat, lie and steal according to the inhuman Big Pharma Drug Cartel and Insurance Mafia greed squad. May they get a taste of their own “medicine”. Big Pharma promotes Dealing, not healing.

Angela's avatar

I understand that the Hippocratic oath is no longer necessary for doctors to take upon graduation. That alone should make one worry especially in Canada. There's nothing stopping them from going whole hog on MAiD. After all, it's one way to get rid of people who are a burden on the system isn't it? Canada is turning out to be an evil country with evil leadership.

Margretta Chase's avatar

Just like the sick, sick, evil USA medical genocide for profit leadership.

Sheila Bice's avatar

Thank you so much for this important information. The public needs to know this. Doctors treated wrongly for saving lives the right way need to be honored and their stories told. I know of another doctor who was treating patients differently than the protocol and she saved lives doing what she knew worked. She was also treated very wrongly and needs to be apologized to and things made right. At the time I learned of how she was treated, those with power were trying to take away her MD certification.

I had an uncle who was hospitalized with Covid and died. His son, my cousin, was hospitalized for a long time and almost didn’t make it. Once he was released from the hospital he was unable to work for many months as he was seeing a doctor in a city who helped him recover from Long Covid, and he was finally able to work again.

john galt's avatar

Tell her to get an excellent trial attorney to go after her prosecutors. Difficult to take on these petty tyrants, but worth it if she has the perseverance to stick until the end. Of course, if you are talking about Minnesota, where the law is a sick leftist joke, better to let it go, and perhaps preferable to move to a non-leftist state.

Ron Elfenbein's avatar

Yes it's awful.... they try to DESTROY anyone they don't like.... evil people indeed

It's also time to pull these covid shots from the market!

Mary DeMaranville's avatar

Yes it IS time to acquit him!!!

Supplementer's avatar

Truth please, Dr. Elfenbein. Starting with, Judge James K Bredar isn't "the chief judge of Maryland," he is a Senior District Court judge for District of Maryland.

And your case has nothing to do with monoclonal antibodies. You massively overbilled thousands for simple rapid covid swabs at drive-throughs and and airport. How many millions did you pocket?

A federal jury convicted you on all charges. Judge Bredar tossed that, for reasons related to the finer points of coding/billing - nothing related to MAB.

https://www.ca4.uscourts.gov/opinions/244048.P.pdf

And they didn't "go after you" because of anything to do with treatment or management of patients; Your defense never tried to make that case.

You were not any type of contrarian, at all. "WHERE Elfenbein SAW OPPORTUNITY, a FEDERAL GRAND JURY SAW FRAUD."

Should I keep going? Have you blocked me yet?

Ron Elfenbein's avatar

Thank you. I appreciate that. The crazy part is I was already acquitted by the chief judge of Maryland and then the Biden DOJ decided to come after me yet again. But thank you for your very kind comment.

From the inconsistency of words and behaviors in this current Govt., we know Trump and Company are just as corrupt and aligned with the Monarchist 'Black Nobility' as Frontman, OBiden and Crew. Corrupt OBiden was the 3rd Obastard Administration and openly corrupted as implemented by an unelected Communist Politburo calling itself 'Democrat'.

Were Trump and Company as transparent and honest as they appeared and sounded to be during the campaign, this B.S. prosecution of a good man and physician would already have been finished. The Bio-Nanoweapon Injection Technology would be commonly exposed to be what it actually is instead of propagandized as 'VACCINES' and it would be banned. The technology now polluting all I.V Drugs and Injectable Substances as as well as all forms of Geo-Engineering actually poisoning the atmosphere would be KAPUT with full exposure to the world's population.

The CRIMINALS AGAINST ALL LIFE ON EARTH would be arrested, held, tried with a sentence of all wealth from all family removed and redistributed to 'the people' before Capital Punishment held in public and televised on International T.V in an endless loop.

We speak of the murder of tens of thousands of Iranians in the street and utterly dismiss the MURDER OF MILLIONS by the 'Black Nobility' over the last 150 years with all their slave Minions now installed to saturation in all the world's institutions.

Complete Crock of B.S.

Time to prosecute Bill Gates Albert Bourla and the NIH — time to indict Anthony FAUCIFRAUD and time to sue every hospital; their directors and board of directors and faculty who knowingly participated in this COVID GENOCIDE. When will we see accountability? Forget justice she’s now not only blind she’s DEAF AND DUMB. When will POTUS instruct SCOTUS to ACT?

Angela's avatar

I firmly believe that the monoclonal was pulled because Trump told everyone how it helped him. THAT made it a "bad" medicine. I was astonished when al this happened knowing there was an alternative, but it wasn't available to anyone. The men who put this in motion, like Biden, should be charged with fraud, murder & anything else they can be charged with b'cuz they're responsible for millions of deaths world-wide. If they think it's just terrorists that are monsters, they need to look in the mirror!! They are just as guilty!!
