Outrageous! FDA Backtracks During Trial and Now Claims ‘Not Taking Ivermectin for COVID-19’ was Merely a Recommendation

In December 2021, the FDA warned Americans not to use Ivermectin  that “is intended for animals” to treat or prevent COVID-19.

This was a very controversial statement at the time since the FDA pushed the drug on African migrants back in 2015 and the drug was praised in several scientific journals.

There have been over 93 scientific studies on Ivermectin that showed significant benefits in treating COVID-19 in its early stages.  The science is undeniable.

Despite this the US government condemned its use for COVID-19.

Fast forward to today…

During a recent hearing, government lawyers argued that the  Food and Drug Administration (FDA) was only giving advice and it was not mandatory when it told people to “stop” taking Ivermectin for COVID-19.

The Nov. 1 hearing in federal court in Texas was for a complaint made by three doctors who claim the FDA’s statements on ivermectin, an anti-parasitic that has shown positive benefits in some trials against COVID-19, violated their constitutional right to practice medicine, Epoch Times reported.

“The cited statements were not directives,” said Isaac Belfer, one of the lawyers. “They were not mandatory. They were recommendations. They said what parties should do. They said, for example, why you should not take ivermectin to treat COVID-19. They did not say you may not do it, you must not do it. They did not say it’s prohibited or it’s unlawful. They also did not say that doctors may not prescribe ivermectin.”

“They use informal language, that is true… It’s conversational but not mandatory,” he continued.

The FDA has approved Ivermectin for use in other vector-borne diseases, but not for COVID-19. The Food and Drug Administration warned the public via its Twitter account that Ivermectin is only safe for use in horses but not for human intake against Covid-19.

“You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it,” the caption reads.

A second post stated: “Hold your horses, y’all. Ivermectin may be trending, but it still isn’t authorized or approved to treat COVID-19.”

The lawsuit claims that FDA actions violated the law by interfering with the doctors’ ability to practice medicine and used the wonder drug “Ivermectin” against Covid-19.

It asked the court to declare the FDA’s actions unlawful and prevent the agency from issuing directives or opinions on the use of ivermectin to treat COVID-19.

The three plaintiffs in the case are Dr. Paul Marik of Virginia, Dr. Mary Bowden of Texas, and Dr. Robert Apter of Arizona.

“Can you understand the toll that that takes that I have young patients – young patients in the 30s and 40s, who I had to watch die – while the hospital prevented me from giving them the treatment I thought was in their best interest,” says Dr. Marik in 2021.

Houston Methodist health officials began investigating and suspended Dr. Mary Bowden last year for spreading “dangerous misinformation” about Covid-19 and promoting the efficacy of ivermectin, all because of FDA’s opinion.

The Nobel prize-winning, anti-parasitic drug, which has been deployed against some of the world’s most devastating tropical diseases, is far safer than the potentially lethal, experimental Covid vaccines, the Texas doctor argued.

Dr. Meryl Nass, a Maine doctor with more than 40 years of experience cannot practice after her medical license was suspended for ‘spreading Covid misinformation’ and treating Covid patients with Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine.

Dr. Meryl Nass was also ordered to undergo a neuropsychological evaluation because of her action, all because of FDA’s opinion on Ivermectin and HCQ.

Ivermectin was first identified in the 1970s during a veterinary drug screening project at Merck Pharmaceuticals and has been used since then without any adverse events.

For almost three years, The Gateway Pundit has been reporting about the efficacy of Ivermectin and HCQ in treating COVID-19.

There have now been 187 ivermectin COVID-19 studies, 138 peer-reviewed, and 93 comparing treatment and control groups that show a 62% improvement for early treatment in COVID patients. Ivermectin was adopted for early treatment in all or part of 22 countries (39 including non-government medical organizations).

A citywide prevention program using ivermectin as prophylaxis for COVID-19 was implemented in Itajaí, a southern city in Brazil in the state of Santa Catarina between July 2020 and December 2020.

According to this comprehensive study, the regular use of ivermectin as a prophylactic agent was associated with significantly reduced COVID-19 infection, hospitalization, and death rates. The ivermectin non-users were two times more likely to die of COVID-19 than ivermectin users in the overall population analysis.

Earlier this year, Project Veritas released never before seen military documents regarding the origins of Covid-19, gain-of-function research, vaccines, potential treatments, and the government’s effort to conceal everything.

The documents contained evidence that Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine were effective in treating the coronavirus. This information was hidden from the American public.

Hal Turner Show reported:

Documents stored on a TOP SECRET folder on the computers of the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) prove that the medicines Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine and Interferon were PROVEN “Curative” of COVID-19 in April, 2020 – the cures were buried as “Top Secret.”

The revelation of these documents, sneakily stored in a TOP SECRET folder on government computers prove that the federal government of the United States KNEW in April, 2020, the entire “COVID-19 Pandemic” was completely curable through the use of these common medications.

Here are excerpts.

Heads should roll over this disclosure.
