ICYMI: After FDA disparages ivermectin as Covid treatment, tweeting: 'You are not a horse,' court responds: 'FDA is not a physician.'

FDA is not a physician. It has authority to inform, announce, and apprise — but not to endorse, denounce, or advise.

Appeals Court..

An appeals court has ruled that the FDA overstepped its authority in telling the public not to use ivermectin to treat Covid.

The lawsuit was filed by Dr. Mary Tally Bowden and two others. Dr. Bowden says ivermectin is safe and effective to treat Covid, and, like many doctors, prescribed it to patients. But the FDA controversialized the medicine in infamous tweets that referred to the veterinary form of ivermectin. One tweet read, "You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it.”

Dr. Bowden argued the FDA hurt her ability to treat patients and damaged her reputation. She was one of the doctors featured in our report on medical professionals who refused the first hospital to mandate Covid vaccines: Houston Methodist.

Dr. Mary Talley Bowden: "I've tested over 80,000 people for Covid, and that's what first alerted me to what was going on, because we keep track of who's vaccinated and who's not. And the patients who were vaccinated and testing positive were just as sick, if not sicker, than the ones that weren't. And eventually, I saw more vaccinated patients testing positive than unvaccinated, and that's when I really became vocal — and Methodist did not like that."

In the ivermectin case, four appeals judges pointed out the FDA omitted that there's a safe and effective human form of the medicine and ruled the FDA overstepped its authority.

In response to, “You are not a horse,” the court wrote, “FDA is not a physician. It has authority to inform, announce, and apprise — but not to endorse, denounce, or advise."

When a government turns on its citizens and steals their freedom and prosperity it is owed zero allegiance.

What Houston Methodist did to the good Dr Mary Bowden, is truly criminal.

I wish she could sue the ever loving socks off of them.

Ivermectin is a drug developed for humans and later also used in livestock.

This is very good!

Judge Don Willett serves on the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, the country's most conservative appeals court.

This may turn out well for the plaintiffs AND all those who were "run out of town" and lost their jobs.

The FDA, CDC, Surgeon General were all on the take. The only reason they all endorsed wearing masks was because the stink of corruption from their agencies was overpowering and they wished the public not to notice.

The FDA might want to consult the NIH the next time they think about giving medical advise.

Ivermectin, ‘Wonder drug’ from Japan: the human use perspective Feb. 10, 2011 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Discovered in the late-1970s, the pioneering drug ivermectin, a dihydro derivative of avermectin—originating solely from a single microorganism isolated at the Kitasato Intitute, Tokyo, Japan from Japanese soil—has had an immeasurably beneficial impact in improving the lives and welfare of billions of people throughout the world.

(snip)

There are few drugs that can seriously lay claim to the title of ‘Wonder drug’, penicillin and aspirin being two that have perhaps had greatest beneficial impact on the health and wellbeing of Mankind. But ivermectin can also be considered alongside those worthy contenders, based on its versatility, safety and the beneficial impact that it has had, and continues to have, worldwide—especially on hundreds of millions of the world’s poorest people.

fda had to demonize any alternative therapy for covid

otherwise an EUA for a vaccine could not happen

the fda was working for pfizer

they were protecting the EUA

so pfizer could have a big payday
