I would like to see proof of this assertion. There were plenty of controlled studies at the time, mainly in India and Australia, to show that ivermectin was an effective treatment and is why some doctors prescribed it. I have seen no evidence to suggest this was a profit-making move.
If the case against the FDA ultimately prevails, the agency’s ability to protect the public and support evidence-based medicine could be eroded.”
And that is exactly what should happen. Dr. Fauci and others caused the death of thousands of patients who might have lived had they received the drug. Instead, the FDA crawled into bed with Big Pharma for their own vaccines.
As Milton Friedman once said, the FDA has killed more people than it's saved by preventing drugs from coming on the market in a timely fashion, a knee jerk reaction to their Thalidomide debacle.
“some hoping to cash it on the ivermectin craze”
I have horses. My Ivermectin was bought at $7/tube. Don’t know if it helped when I finally caught COVID in 2022, but it sure didn’t hurt!
No “profit motive” with $7 tubes of medicine...
