Remember Ivermectin for Covid-19? The FDA Wants You to Forget It Told 'Y'all' to Stop Taking Horse Dewormer
PJ Media ^ | 11/22/2022 | Stacey Lennox

In June, three doctors filed a lawsuit against the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for interfering with using ivermectin to treat COVID-19. All three were disciplined for prescribing human-grade ivermectin to treat patients. The attorney for the physicians, Boyden Gray, asserted the FDA’s actions regarding ivermectin went against well-established law and practice regarding the off-label use of FDA-approved drugs.

When the suit was filed, Gray told the Epoch Times, “Congress recognized the importance of letting doctors be doctors and expressly prohibited the FDA from interfering with the practice of medicine.” He continued, “That is exactly what the FDA has done repeatedly throughout this pandemic, assuming authority it doesn’t have and trying to insert itself in the medical decisions of Americans everywhere.”

In a hearing on November 1, the FDA’s lawyers argued, “The cited statements were not directives. They were not mandatory. They were recommendations. They said what parties should do. They said, for example, why you should not take ivermectin to treat COVID-19. They did not say you may not do it, you must not do it. They did not say it’s prohibited or it’s unlawful. They also did not say that doctors may not prescribe ivermectin.”

That’s some pretty innovative hair-splitting. It is almost as if the FDA doesn’t know that in a medical system full of attorneys, statements like this would not chill the use of a drug:

You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y'all. Stop it.

The attached article even says, “The FDA has not authorized or approved ivermectin for use in preventing or treating COVID-19 in humans or animals.

Ivermectin is approved for human use to treat infections caused by some parasitic worms and head lice and skin conditions like rosacea.” The sentence implies to those who do not know better that the FDA must approve a medication for a specific use.

BTW, if the FDA wants to play this game, someone should ask if it has “approved” the use of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists in young adults in cases of gender dysphoria. To be clear, the agency has not. Some of the reported side effects that bear investigation with these drugs are infertility, lifelong sexual dysfunction, and cardiac issues. Yet a search of the FDA’s Twitter profile does not contain a tweet saying, “You aren’t a dude, and no medication is going to change that.”

Also, once common and affordable Ivermectin can scarcely be found in agricultural supply and is astronomically priced.

Forget about finding human pills.

The AMA certainly thought the CDC was ruling against ivermectin.

WASHINGTON, DC – The American Medical Association (AMA), American Pharmacists Association (APhA), and American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) strongly oppose the ordering, prescribing, or dispensing of ivermectin to prevent or treat COVID-19 outside of a clinical trial.
...

...The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the FDA have issued advisories indicating that ivermectin is not authorized or approved for the prevention or treatment of COVID-19. The National Institutes of Health, World Health Organization, and Merck (the manufacturer of the drug) all state there is insufficient evidence to support the use of ivermectin to treat COVID-19. The Infectious Diseases Society of America Guidelines on the Treatment and Management of Patients with COVID-19 also recommend against the use of ivermectin outside of a clinical trial...

Use of ivermectin for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19 has been demonstrated to be harmful to patients. Calls to poison control centers due to ivermectin ingestion have increased five-fold from their pre-pandemic baseline. A recent CDC Health Alert Network Advisory (PDF) recommends that health care professionals should counsel patients against use of ivermectin as a treatment for COVID-19, including emphasizing the potentially toxic effects of this drug, including “nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Overdoses are associated with hypotension and neurologic effects such as decreased consciousness, confusion, hallucinations, seizures, coma, and death.”

(The part about poison-control call centers proven false long ago.)

It’s not the “FDA”. The individuals who made the decisions and approved the messages all have names.

After the doctor I had been using for several years retired I went to see his replacement. When I asked if she would consider prescribing Ivemectin, she practically recoiled in horror to be in a closed room with such a heretic as I.

That was our first and last time she would see me.

Correct. Saying "the FDA said" or "the FBI said" or any other agency "said" is a smokescreen hiding the individuals who made the decision. The public has no idea if these individuals might have less-than-honest reasons (or in some cases personal financial motives) for making these pronouncements.

The most egregious example of this is the constantly-used "The White House said today ..." WHO in "The White House"?

We can probably safely say it's not Joe Biden.

When I took ivermectin to cure my covid, I also noticed that my skin condition cleared up. I did get another doctor to prescribe it for the skin deal but my wonderful insurance company, Aetna refused to fill it.

I found a doctor that did prescribe it during the pandemic and still prescribes it for covid, post-covid, and vaccine recovery (with good results)

She is my (and my husband’s) new family doc.

I first got the horse version - first at Amazon and then at feed stores. Also got a couple of orders through Push Health who then sent a prescription to Honeybee.
One order I got from India and they only took e-checks. Something weird happened with the e-check and then I discovered someone used my account to pay a 2k Capital One bill for a person in Africa. I tried to get my bank to stop it from going through but instead they gave me my money back and I had to get a new account.

Recent Pfizer television commericials concering COVID state that if one falls in the category of having an underlying condition and is diagnosed with COVID, should go see their doctor or urgent care for an oral treatment. They do not state what the oral treatment is. Does anyone know?
