The FDA’s argument is that the plaintiffs haven’t suffered injuries traceable to the FDA, but the doctors state they have suffered economic harm, reputational harm, and increased exposure to malpractice liability and forced or untimely resignations due to the FDA’s actions.
Sadly, this is becoming the MO of our government. I’m sure these doctors are mostly motivated by the illness and death they experienced with their patients due to being handcuffed from utilizing a safe, cheap, and effective medicine for COVID which could have saved lives.
While the FDA has power to authorize or approve drugs for a specific use, doctors are free to prescribe cleared drugs for other “off-label” purposes. Of course “off-label” prescribing of ivermectin was censored and prohibited not only by the FDA but by the AMA and other professional medical groups. Pharmacists wouldn’t even fill prescriptions for it. This is far bigger problem than just the FDA and each of these groups need to be overhauled to limit their power over doctors.
If they get away with it for ivermectin, it could be anything in the future.
Lastly, it must be celebrated widely and loudly that finally a doctor, at great personal cost, was willing to go the distance against our corrupt government and was exonerated.
This poor doctor’s crime? He advised for time-tested, safe, and inexpensive vitamins & natural remedies for COVID.
Our corrupt and inept government sued him for $508 BILLION dollars.
The case drug on for over 3 stressful years and he was debanked by 5 banks. Insurance companies dropped his patient’s ability to use insurance while under his care.
Knowing they couldn’t win the case, the FTC offered him money in a settlement that would have come with a gag order where he couldn’t discuss the case. He refused their bribes and is now speaking out on how the government bankrupts dissenters.
No, the ivermectin case can not be dismissed. There’s too much at stake.
