Three doctors filed a federal lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Food and Drug Administration over the agencies’ unlawful attempts to block the use of ivermectin in treating COVID-19.
“The plaintiffs are Drs. Paul Marik, Mary Bowden, and Robert Apter. They say they were professionally harmed by the FDA’s statements, including being terminated over efforts to prescribe ivermectin to patients.
Dr. Marik has noted that a number of studies support using ivermectin against COVID-19, as the FDA itself has acknowledged. Some other studies show little to no effect.
Federal law enables the FDA to provide information, such as reports of adverse reactions to drugs, but not medical advice, Mr. Kelson said.
Judges indicated they agree that the FDA lacks the power to give medical advice; Judge Clement said, ‘You’re not authorized to give medical advice’.
But Ms. Honold said the government ‘isn’t conceding that in this case’. She also argued that Congress has empowered the FDA to protect public health and make sure regulated products are safe and effective, giving it the ‘inherent authority to further its mission by communicating information to the public about safe uses of drugs’. A ruling in favor of the doctors would prevent the FDA from reporting on consumers suffering after cooking chicken with NyQuil or that opioid addiction is a problem, she claimed.
Mr. Kelson said that wasn’t accurate. ‘It’s when they step beyond that [and] start telling people how they should or should not be using approved drugs’, he said.
Ms. Honold also said that the courts can’t hold agencies accountable when they provide false or misleading information: ‘The FDA is politically accountable, just like all other executive agencies’”. -Zachary Stieber, Epoch Times

The Food and Drug Administration not only lied about the inefficacy and dangers of Ivermectin, but it also overstepped its legal authority.
In any event, the fact that the mRNA vaccines and boosters were totally “FDA-approved” was more a harbinger of doom than a supposed seal of approval.
