ICYMI: After FDA disparages ivermectin as Covid treatment, tweeting: 'You are not a horse,' court responds: 'FDA is not a physician.'

FDA is not a physician. It has authority to inform, announce, and apprise — but not to endorse, denounce, or advise.

Appeals Court..

An appeals court has ruled that the FDA overstepped its authority in telling the public not to use ivermectin to treat Covid.

The lawsuit was filed by Dr. Mary Tally Bowden and two others. Dr. Bowden says ivermectin is safe and effective to treat Covid, and, like many doctors, prescribed it to patients. But the FDA controversialized the medicine in infamous tweets that referred to the veterinary form of ivermectin. One tweet read, "You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it.”

Dr. Bowden argued the FDA hurt her ability to treat patients and damaged her reputation. She was one of the doctors featured in our report on medical professionals who refused the first hospital to mandate Covid vaccines: Houston Methodist.

Dr. Mary Talley Bowden: "I've tested over 80,000 people for Covid, and that's what first alerted me to what was going on, because we keep track of who's vaccinated and who's not. And the patients who were vaccinated and testing positive were just as sick, if not sicker, than the ones that weren't. And eventually, I saw more vaccinated patients testing positive than unvaccinated, and that's when I really became vocal — and Methodist did not like that."

In the ivermectin case, four appeals judges pointed out the FDA omitted that there's a safe and effective human form of the medicine and ruled the FDA overstepped its authority.

In response to, “You are not a horse,” the court wrote, “FDA is not a physician. It has authority to inform, announce, and apprise — but not to endorse, denounce, or advise."

FDA could care less, they did they did the job they were told to do.

Mission accomplished.

FDA forgets ivermectin is an animal drug as well as a human drug. And, one compared to other drugs, a relatively very safe drug.

I cannot find it but I recall an ad from a Fed agency saying, “Neigh! Ivermectin is for horses not humans”.

Yes, damn them all!

It’s safe, effective and cheap. That’s why the FDA hates it.

Every single media blowhard that tried to discredit ivermectin, and hydrocloriquine for that matter (and I mean you, Neil Cavuto) should be publicly excoriated and scorned.

That alone should put the pukes who run the FDA for the Jihad Junta and the WEF out on Constitution Avenue.

The FDA and CDC had to vilify Ivermectin because it had a higher success rate against the Wuhan Virus and very few side affects than did the mRNA injection. With the laws that stated that the pharmaceutical companies could not use an untested and untried injection if there was a safe alternative, the ones like Fauci and many others could not line their pockets if the physicians were to prescribe a cheap alternative treatment for the Wuhan virus.

It probably should. I mean, FDA used to serve an actual safety purpose. Now it is just a political arm.

Why wasn’t Ivermectin included as a covered countermeasure...?

Why isn’t Congress holding hearings on THAT.

Worse than what the FDA did was its motive; absolutely nefarious.

“...You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it....”

Pygmy cannibals at the FDA. It’s why the USA is on it’s last legs. The American empire will soon collapse, and the Mexican cartels will take over. It will suck to be a Pygmy cannibal when that day comes. /spit
