COVID-19: FDA Gets Bitch-Slapped By Appeals Court for Statements on Ivermectin

From The Tennessee Star:

Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, Dr. Paul E. Marik and Dr. Robert L. Apter sued the FDA in June of 2022, asking the court to: “Hold unlawful and set aside any FDA actions directing or opining on whether ivermectin should be used for certain off-label purposes, including treatment of COVID-19.”

“After nearly two years and a resounding rebuke by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, the FDA has agreed to remove its misleading social media posts and consumer directives regarding ivermectin and Covid-19,” said Bowden.

The Appeals Court had written in its decision: “The FDA is not a physician. It has authority to inform, announce, and apprise—but not to endorse, denounce, or advise.”


That last line is beautifully written.

    The wheels of justice turn slowly, but grind exceedingly fine – so slowly in this case that people died but I really doubt anybody at the FDA will get even a flea in their ear
