Ben Carson says heโs โout of the woodsโ after battling COVID-19
STERLING, Va. โ Housing Secretary Ben Carson is crediting unapproved, experimental treatments with saving his life after he became โdesperately illโ following his infection with the coronavirus. There is no medical evidence that the treatments Carson cited worked. A retired neurosurgeon, Carson said Friday that he believes he's now โout of the woods." Trump received the Regeneron treatment through a โcompassionate useโ exemption, a recognition of the above-and-beyond standard of care he receives as president. In his statement, Carson acknowledged having access to a level of medical care that is unavailable to most Americans.
