FDA Settles Lawsuit over Ivermectin Social Media Posts

The FDA has agreed to delete and never republish several social-media posts suggesting that ivermectin, a drug that some doctors used to treat COVID-19, is for animals and not humans.

While the FDA still does not approve of using ivermectin to treat COVID, it settled Thursday a lawsuit brought by three doctors who sued it, as well as the Department of Health and Human Services and its secretary, Xavier Becerra, and FDA secretary Robert Califf. All parties have settled.

The lawsuit, filed on June 2, 2022, was brought by doctors Mary Talley Bowden, Paul Marik and Robert Apter, each of whom claimed the FDA was interfering with their ability to practice medicine.

The case was initially dismissed on the grounds the FDA had "sovereign immunity," though a U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit reversed the lower court's decision saying that the "FDA is not a physician."

Remember when Ivermectin won a Nobel Prize and had decades of data showing its safety and effectiveness, and then the FDA called it a “horse drug” during Covid b/c its Big Pharma vax sponsors told it to?

Well a Federal court just ruled the FDA broke the law & needs to delete its… https://t.co/q5DKjN3q4T— DC_Draino (@DC_Draino) March 22, 2024

ransomnote: I remember posting an article about a national pharmacists regulatory agency threatening all pharmacists that if any of them actually filled a prescription for Ivermectin, they would be investigated for their questionable lack of professionalism. A few months ago a FReeper was presecribed Ivermectin but the doctor never would actually send the prescription to the pharmacy and when pressed, became increasingly irritated until sent a prescription for Paxlovid to the pharmacy instead. You can be told you may have Ivermectin; you cannot actually have it.

The government is still exerting pressure on the medical system to prevent the distribution of Ivermectin, it's just that now they are hiding it better.

Ivermectin is approved to treat rosacea and other human conditions.

How many people died because you couldn’t get this drug...even thought hat’s what your doctor wanted to give you.

The lawsuit, filed on June 2, 2022, was brought by doctors Mary Talley Bowden...

Mary Talley Bowden has been a lioness fighting for her patients. She treated thousands of COVID patients and not one of them died.

That is not the case for COVID patients treated by Houston Methodist Hospital.

Methodist Hospital very publicly smeared her and revoked her privileges for spreading "disinformation" about Ivermectin. She is suing them. I hope she winds up owning them.

Ivermectin absolutely saved my life and gave me some relief and hope. When I was taken to the hospital in really bad shape, I told the head Covid doctor that ivermectin helped me temporarily, he was glad I took it.

We were told by these organizations that Ivermectin was off-label use for covid, therefore not allowed. Yet Lupron is used off-label to block puberty and the same organizations push it.

[dadfly]

the FDA lied and many souls died.

[ConservativeMind]

The FDA is a rogue agency, especially saying they had immunity to lie and coerce doctors and patients, for any reason, around COVID therapies.

The government needs major downsizing, like Argentina’s recent reduction, times 50.

The body dies but the soul lives forever.

Doctors and nurses were all hopped up on Ivermectin and Hydroxychloriquine, throughout the plandemic.

They may be dumb but they’re not stupid.

[showme_the_Glory]

The wanted people to die from remdesivir instead.

[one guy in new jersey]

Off label use for prescriptions is just as legitimate as on-label use!

Always has been. As long as the drug is approved by the FDA, doctors are free to prescribe it for whatever in their professional medical opinion it serves to help a patient.

Ivermectin, ‘Wonder drug’ from Japan: the human use perspective Feb. 10, 2011 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Discovered in the late-1970s, the pioneering drug ivermectin, a dihydro derivative of avermectin—originating solely from a single microorganism isolated at the Kitasato Intitute, Tokyo, Japan from Japanese soil—has had an immeasurably beneficial impact in improving the lives and welfare of billions of people throughout the world.

(snip)

There are few drugs that can seriously lay claim to the title of ‘Wonder drug’, penicillin and aspirin being two that have perhaps had greatest beneficial impact on the health and wellbeing of Mankind. But ivermectin can also be considered alongside those worthy contenders, based on its versatility, safety and the beneficial impact that it has had, and continues to have, worldwide—especially on hundreds of millions of the world’s poorest people.

True!!!

remdesivir=grimdeathisnear

Crime against humanity.

I’m not saying that I used Ivermectin to treat my COVID. What I **AM** saying, though, is that I can now add two numbers by stomping my hooves.

[dadfly]

chuckle. well, i was using the poetic form of ‘soul’ meaning mortal men and women. you raise an interesting point though. perhaps you’re right about the soul surviving even to hell—even apart from the spirit.

I remember in my youth my dentist prescribed tetracycline to treat an invasive gum disease. I took it for a year and it did wonders for my gums as well a my acne.

[the_Watchman]

My current GP never took the vaccine. He still takes Ivermectin twice a week since he is exposed to all types of sick people. He also has to get his prescription from a compounding pharmacy.
