Doctors are speaking out against a new law that arguably paves the way for the FDA to prohibit treatments for purposes it hasn't expressly authorized, going far beyond highly politicized subjects such as treating COVID-19 with ivermectin.
The authority to ban off-label uses was buried on page 3,542 of the 4,155-page omnibus appropriations bill signed into law at year's end, though it's specifically applied to "banned devices."
The FDA requested this "very unprecedented" update after a string of court losses, Endpoints News senior editor Zachary Brennan told WBUR earlier this month, while cautioning that it's not clear whether the agency could broadly interpret "devices" to cover drug treatments.
Law firm Morrison Foerster specifically credited the revision to a 2021 ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit that prohibited the FDA from banning "individual intended usages of an otherwise legally marketed device," in that case "electrical stimulation devices used to treat aggressive or self-injurious behavior."
Some physicians aren't trusting the FDA to restrain itself. "FDA lobbyists got congress [sic] to grant the agency (not practicing doctors) the power to ban some uses of medications," Johns Hopkins medical professor and National Academy of Medicine member Marty Makary tweeted Tuesday.
"That's truly arrogant to think that the federal government is the one and only one who knows better than the physicians at the state boards of medicine about what good medicine is or what it isn't," medical device and drug regulatory lawyer Brad Thompson told WBUR.

LOL...Who knew there'd be consequences for passing a bill WITHOUT reading it.
Cheaper at Tractor Supply.
Don’t ask how I know...
What’s the point in going to school for so many years to get a medical degree if you are just going to do whatever the FDA tells you?
“Is ivermectin something that could be sold over the counter?”
It is for animal use. Which is the same exact formula as for human use. Just not in conveniently premeasured doses.
“This effort extended to even the simplest and most widely used vitamins like C and D.”
Hmm, maybe when people need to get a prescription to buy a bag of oranges, they’ll finally be fed up enough to rid themselves of this irksome bureaucracy.
“For years FDA has wanted the power to ‘drug-i-fy’ vitamins. This effort extended to even the simplest and most widely used vitamins like C and D.”
If scurvy wasn’t a well-understood disease and was discovered today, the FDA would ban vitamin C, Jimmy Kimmel would mock advocates for using vitamin C to treat it, and Pfizer would announce a vaccine to prevent it. The uniparty would fund the vaccine and mandate it. Talks of scurvy being related to vitamin C deficiency would be considered disinformation and could get you banned, demonetized, and fired.
EPA banned pellet rat poison and the most effective types of poison last year.
Thanks, Twotone.
*PING* to the rest of you. Yikes!
Sod off, Swampy.
ANY bill or regulation 4,155 pages long is full of corruption. What are we citizens to do?
Why, to maintain one's bought-off status as a sheepskin recipient entitled to $100/hour+ for services rendered, of course! In such a circumstance, defending oneself against malpractice will likely become a more likely successful outcome and malpractice insurance is likely to be less expensive.
The FDA, at the urging of Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla, et al, saw to it this ridiculous idea made it into law. Why? Because Bourla, et al realized how much money they were losing because folks, me included, were taking IVM and/or HCQ instead of risking their lives with the bioweapon clot shots.
MEGA Bump and Amen!

Big Pharm and Congress are doubling down on restricting Ivermectin, a proven cure for Covid, even as Ivermectin using physicians are suing the FDA for restricting IVM previously.

Now there is another cure for spike protein causing clots in recently vaxed individuals, “ Nattokinase,” an inexpensive over the counter enzyme which rids the body of spike protein.AVAILABLE AT AMAZON.].Will the FDA ban that as well?
