FDA Says No Change in Policy Regarding Foreign Ivermectin Seizures: Not working in Tandem with US Post Office to Target Foreign Shipments of Ivermectin
Epoch Times ^ | 01/05/2022 | Allan Stein

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says it is not working in tandem with the U.S. Postal Service to specifically target foreign shipments of ivermectin despite two recent seizures of the drug.

On Oct. 4, 2021, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers working at the international mail facility at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport seized a shipment of 41 fake COVID-19 vaccination cards, and another shipment that contained ivermectin tablets.

A second package from Mexico contained 32 more ivermectin tablets and 40 hydroxychloroquine pills.

“While x-raying a package from China, officers noticed some discrepancies. The package said it contained decorative beads, but when officers inspected the parcel, they found 1 bottle containing 100 tablets of Ivermectin,” the CBP said in an Oct. 5, 2021, statement.

"The FDA requested these items be seized for violating FDA regulations. The pills were turned over to the FDA Office of Criminal Investigation for further investigation. The shipments were headed to Atlanta and St. Louis Park, Minnesota, respectively.”

"These shipments are concerning. These were seized in just one night and you have to wonder if this trend will continue,” said Shane Campbell, area port director for Chicago, in the statement. “Our officers are ready and will stop this threat before it can reach the public.”

Well, if it said it was ‘Bead’s’, I can see why it got taken.

What would they have done if it was the correct label ?

the FDA maliciously made poisons into “vitamins”
so some there could get lambos.

Murder they have done.
Genocide is ongoing.
No accountability yet for them.
GITMO they ALL deserve.

I know someone that received 10 packs of 10 3 mg tablets from India on Monday in their mailbox. Hope I got the pronoun correct.

Never believe anything in politics until it has been officially denied.

“Threat” from a drug that should have been OTC two decades ago, and is in much of the world.

Meanwhile tons of cocaine, fentanyl, and heroin flow across our southern border with the invitation of the Biden administration. But plenty of resources to catch 100 ivermectin pills from China.

“…you have to wonder if this trend will continue. Our officers are ready and will stop this threat before it can reach the public.” — Shane Campbell, area port director for Chicago

Shane is such a dope. “Will it continue?” You’ve got to be kidding me. Can he honestly that stupid? I refer Shane to the results of the 18th Amendment. What does he think will happen when the government bans something?

What “threat”? This is yet another government proclamation of a threat like “white nationalists.”

So the Feds are targeting HCQ and ivermectin?
No wonder so much fentanyl is getting in the country!

I got 4 packs of Ivermectin in between Christmas and New Years. I placed an order in India and 2 to 3 weeks later the package arrived courtesy of the USPS. I am holding on to them just in case I or my wife need them later. I the meantime, I am taking Quercetin, Zinc, Vitamin C and D.
