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 was developed by Merck for human river blindness.

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.

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.

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?

Ivermectin doesn’t do anything for people regarding covid.

I don’t know why people have such an obsession in favor or against it. If someone wants to take it, I think that’s a waste of money. But I think people should be able to waste the money if they so choose.

What is this guy talking about? People had to go to court to get the drug for their dying loved ones being murdered in hospitals.

You still cannot buy Ivermectin over the counter or doctors prescription in many places like California and Minnesota.
If a doctor talks about it they can lose their medical license. How many people have been killed because of this?

So what exactly was the process by which the pharmacy chains stopped dispensing it for such — and the state medical associations moved to take the licenses of doctors who prescribed it?

Presumably they were careful to split legal hairs when they initiated this fascist enforcement of their otherwise (and presumably still) illegal acts.
