Doctors Sue FDA For Prohibiting Ivermectin To Treat Covid-19

A group of doctors is Suing Food and Drug Administration and Department of Health and Human Services respectively for their numerous attempts to stop ivermectin treatment of Covid-19 being prescribed. The FDA tried to prevent them from prescribing the drug to plaintiffs Robert L. Apter and Mary Talley Bowden. However, they had successfully used the drug in treating coronavirus patients.

“The FDA generally cannot ban particular uses of human drugs once they are otherwise approved and admitted to the market, even if such use differs from the labeling — commonly referred to as ‘off-label’ use,” According to the lawsuit. “The FDA also cannot advise whether a patient should take an approved drug for a particular purpose.”

The FDA, however, stepped outside of its authority. “directing the public, including health professionals and patients, not to use ivermectin to treat COVID-19, even though the drug remains fully approved for human use,” The lawsuit continues. The suit seeks to have the lawsuit dismissed. “any FDA actions that direct or opine on whether ivermectin is an appropriate treatment for COVID-19, declare such actions unlawful, and issue permanent injunctive relief enjoining the FDA from further engaging in such actions.”

The plaintiffs originally filed their lawsuit in June 2022 — after the FDA and corporate media spun up the narrative that ivermectin is used as a cattle dewormer and that anyone who prescribed or took the drug as a Covid treatment was an anti-science rube — but a U.S. district court denied their claim. In February 2023 the doctors appealed the case to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. Multiple organizations have filed amicus briefs supporting the suit. America’s Frontline Doctors The Front Line Critical Care Alliance COVID-19 (FLCCC).

“This was a coordinated campaign amongst the agencies to limit the use of ivermectin,” Pierre Kory is the president and chief medical officer at the FLCCC. He spoke to The Federalist. “Multiple actions taken by the CDC and FDA, as well as the media over a two-week period were triggered by the release of data showing that there were 90,000 prescriptions being filled for ivermectin by the middle of August.”

Kory described the collusion between the FDA, CDC and corporate media in a massive disinformation campaign.

“For two weeks, all you heard was ‘horse dewormer,'” Kory stated. “And the effects were massive. Hospitals started removing it from their formularies, pharmacists stopped filling. Doctors became scared to prescribe because they didn’t want to go against the agencies and take the risks on their licenses.”

Even celebrities have used ivermectin to treat Covid-19.
