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."
The appeals court also said that, "Even tweet-sized doses of personalized medical advice are beyond the FDA's statutory authority."

Awesome news and it should shut a few traps here on ATS. It's a small win in the big picture of massive misdeeds by politicized government agencies that went directly against medical professionals prescribed medical advice.
But hey, in this day and age, a win is a win is a win.

Several friends attest to the fact that they never got Covid due to proactively taking Ivermectin. I bought some as a preventive measure but did not end up taking it. Did not get Covid, I rely on garlic as a cure for everything except for that which itself causes as scribed in a 17th century herbal Culpeper's Complete Herbal a reply to: xuenchen
