FDA explicitly recognizes that doctors do have the authority to prescribe ivermectin to treat COVID

Department of Justice lawyer representing the FDA

Circuit Judge Jennifer Walker Elrod

Ashley Cheung Honold

During oral arguments on Aug. 8, 2023 in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit.

https://covid19.onedaymd.com/2023/08/doctors-can-prescribe-ivermectin-for.html

“FDA is clearly acknowledging that doctors have the authority to prescribe human ivermectin to treat COVID.

So they are not interfering with the authority of doctors to prescribe drugs or to practice medicine,”

      the “fact check” doesn’t fit this video

      The presenter describes statements done in court hearings, and points at the disingenuous statements by FDA.

      So now that court has established that FDA didn’t “prohibit” the use of ivermectin for treatment of covid19,

      • Then who started the witch-hunt (while it wasn’t prohibited)?!
      • Who filed lawsuits against doctors who did use ivermectin (while it wasn’t prohibited)?
      • Where did all this media-bashing come from. e.g. Who started the mis-use of the horse-paste story (while it wasn’t prohibited)?
      • Who ensured that ivermectin was confiscated at customs (while it wasn’t prohibited)?
      • etc. etc. ?
      • Why were FACT CHECKERS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND for the above issues?!

        You didn’t post a video?

        What “witch hunt”?

        Suing doctors - literally the only source I can find on doctors being sued for prescribing Ivermectin

        What media bashing?

        It seems the confiscations at customs were due to shipments from china labelled as “decorative beads”

        No one is stopping you from taking ivermectin or stopping your doctor prescribing it to you.

        it wont do shit for covid though.

            If you actually read the orders and reasons as to why these people were suspended, it goes far beyond just prescribing ivermectin.

            ed. Its funny how youre clearly “against the narrative” and believe theres some nefarious conspiracy theory going on. But then just eat up the “alternative narrative” without actually going into the details. You really are just consuming alternative headlines and narratives without critical thought

              well, i’ve been denied many things over those years because i didn’t get the jab, while seeing our ministers flat out lying (because i knew which Pfizer phase 2/3 trials for pregnant women >18jr were still ongoing at the time).

              And the whole Covid-era was abruptly stopped when Ukraine came, and suddenly nothing about corona?! wtf. who are we kidding.

              Oh… and media calling Bill Gates a philanthropist. What a joke.

              So yes, i’m against the narrative, because it’s been well organized and censored.

              The bashing of HCQ was started of by a fraud piece. The Lancet published that study which made all media go crazy, making all doctors using HCQ out for a quacks and losing/risking their license. Only a few weeks later Lancet retracted that peer reviewed paper of Surgisphere, because “HCQ quacks” looked at the actual data and realized it couldn’t be proper and asked Lancet to audit it. i.e. so much for the mainstream “fact checkers”.

              Similar happened with Ivermectin. (my brother has a strong case for the efficacy of ivermectin with covid19. More on IVM at http://www.flccc.net )

              They’re making sure to crack down on any alternative, because otherwise the EUA/CMA license can’t be approved for the covid19 gene therapy injections.

              And if that’s not all, quite a few instructions went against normal conduct, like;

              • denying lung patients antibiotics and insisting on laying them still, which are both anti-standard practice, as i heard a lung nurse vent.
              • pushing a new medicine Remdesivir while having questionable study outcome.
              • insisting you stay at home and do nothing other than taking Aspirin, thus getting sicker, and when sick enough and getting pneumonia(which is the deadly stage) you go to the hospital possibly on a ventilator.
              • like a HCQ study being setup, ignoring results from the field regarding efficacy increasing combinations & dosage, ignoring suggestions by peers. One study even used toxic dosage, while HCQ safety profile is known for 50 years already.
              • Dutch government pretending the covid-measures(lockdowns etc) were legal while they weren’t. It hadn’t even passed the 1st chamber.

              But let’s not mention the excess mortality going on in some countries, not since covid19, but since the jabs… Media etc is silent for some reason. And in case heart/stroke mortality is reported, they’re making people believe it’s because of warmth🤦‍♂️

              What worries me; The next wave the WHO has everything in place legal wise, and Dutch govt even signed(like many WHO affiliates) to follow WHO mandates(sidestepping our government) whenever WHO calls a self-proclaimed pandemic… And without the mrna-jab(s) you increasingly will be excluded, there’s multiple bodies steering in that direction.

          Oh indeed! i added an url and an image, but the url was overwritten🙈 i updated the post.

          What witch hunt?

          e.g. in Netherlands; “IGJ” instituted the witch-hunt literally asking pharmacy to snitch on doctors. https://www.igj.nl/actueel/nieuws/2021/03/25/boete-voor-artsen-die-hydroxychloroquine-of-ivermectine-voorschrijven-tegen-corona

          What media basing?

          Didn’t you pick up on the horsepaste issue? And all the censorship on anyone mentioning ivermectin on youtube, facebook, linkedin etc?

          It seems the confiscations at customs were due to shipments from china labelled as “decorative beads”

          Actually, in Netherlands customs, started to confiscate all ivermectin people took with them at the same time that IGJ started.

              The Dutch part i know from close by.

              FDA(US), EMA(EU) do exactly the same regarding covid19 treatments. Where EUA-license was granted to the new injections by FDA, the EMA granted the CMA-license. EUA and CMA are essentially the same. Those licenses were only allowed if nothing else was a viable option. fyi; Many have speculated this being the reason for the crackdown on anything remotely effective( i.e. CQ, HCQ, IVM )

                The post is about the FDA. The fact check reply is about the FDA.

                Whatever the Netherlands is doing is irrelevant to the FDA and vice versa.

                  Except for the fact that EMA and FDA both follow exactly the same covid19 narrative

          I guess the censorship and such tactics did wonders. (You really haven’t noticed?) Looking at the downvotes, people really are ignorant of that fact🤔

          it wont do shit for covid though.

          Depends who you listen to. I know multiple including my brother, whose outcome changed drastically within 4 days(after 10 days bed ridden) Have you seen http://flccc.net ?

          i found a mainstream article, showing that there was indeed a ban (implying; Any doctor who would use it, had a problem) https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/may/05/ivermectin-ban-ended-by-australian-regulator-amid-warning-it-should-not-be-used-as-covid-treatment
