FDA Now Gaslighting About Its War on Ivermectin: It was Just a 'Recommendation'

Epoch Times is reporting he U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) telling people to “stop” taking ivermectin for COVID-19 was informal and just a recommendation, government lawyers argued during a recent hearing.

“The cited statements were not directives. 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,” Isaac Belfer, one of the lawyers, told the court during the Nov. 1 hearing in federal court in Texas.

“They use informal language, that is true,” he also said, adding that, “it’s conversational but not mandatory.”

They must have forgotten when they actively tried to present Ivermectin as a “horse dewormer” as people looked to the medication to help them fight COVID:

The FDA created a webpage in 2021 titled “Why You Should Not Use Ivermectin to Treat or Prevent COVID-19” and later posted a link to the page on Twitter while writing: “You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it.” 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.”

In a separate page, the FDA said: “Q: Should I take ivermectin to prevent or treat COVID-19? A: No.”

It appears the FDA wants to maintain its authority but not the responsibility that comes with it.

Ivermectin has been shown to be astoundingly effective in prophylaxis and treatment of COVID-19.

C19IVM.org has compiled data from 93 studies pointing to its overwhelmingly positive effects.

Meanwhile, a chiropractor in St. Louis stands to face more than $500 billion in civil penalties after being accused of deceptive marketing of Covid-19 treatments.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has charged Dr. Dric Nepute, 41, and his company Quickwork with violating the Covid-19 Consumer Protection Act through his marketing of Vitamin D and zinc as a way to treat or prevent Covid-19.

Vitamin D was helpful as well:

Looks like vitamin D supplements could have save 116,000 lives in the USA during the pandemic. People who suggested this were ignored and even censored in many places. For this alone, our public "health" officials should all be fired.https://t.co/2lBw8xMmNm

“[I]f Ivermectin is what those of us who have looked at the evidence think it is … then the debate about the vaccines would be over by definition, because the vaccines that we have so far were granted emergency use authorization,” Professor Brett Weinstein told Tucker Carlson.

According to the FDA’s own definition, an EUA is “is a mechanism to facilitate the availability and use of medical countermeasures, including vaccines, during public health emergencies, such as the current COVID-19 pandemic.”
