COVID UPDATE: 8.19.23 - FDA says Ivermectin ban was just a joke

FDA says Ivermectin ban was just a joke - Bill Wilson – www.dailyjot.com After the possibility of thousands of lives that could have been saved by treating COVID with Ivermectin and hundreds of doctors whose licenses were revoked or practices harmedby the Food and Drug Administration’s ban on such treatment, the FDA is now saying it didn’t prohibit anyone from being treated by the drug, describing its statements as “merely quips.” Maybe it’s all fun and word games with the FDA, but to the millions ofpeople who were affected by their statements that Ivermectin was not approved for COVID treatment, it was a game of life or death. The FDA approved the experimental mRNA shots with full knowledge of the deadly side-affects, but now it’s saying it never bannedthe use of Ivermectin. The Epoch Times reports that Department of Justice lawyer representing the FDA, Ashley Cheung Honold, during oral arguments on August 8 in the US Court of Appeals for the5th Circuit, said, “FDA explicitly recognizes that doctors do have the authority to prescribe ivermectin to treat COVID.” But that’s not what FDA’s website says. The FDA has on its website the following statement, “The FDA has not authorized or approved ivermectinfor use in preventing or treating COVID-19 in humans or animals.” Indeed, on August 21, 2021, FDA wrote on X (formerly Twitter), You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it.” The post linked to a page with reasons why FDA does not approveIvermectin for COVID treatment. Remember that? Now after a lawsuit by frontline doctors who were harmed by the FDA’s stance against Ivermectin, the FDA is saying that it didn’t really mean that Ivermectin couldn’t be usedto treat COVID. Honald said, “In some contexts, those words could be construed as a command. But in this context, where FDA was simply using these words in the context of a quippy tweet meant to share its informational article, those statements do not riseto the level of a command…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.” That’s not how the media construed the comments at the time. In fact, anyone considering Ivermectin as a COVID treatment was ridiculed, persecuted, and many doctors were prohibitedfrom using the life-saving drug to treat COVID. Now FDA is passing its actions off in court as “quippy.” It’s not quippy. It’s not funny. FDA misled people to get them to take an experimental drug with deadly side-affects that were reported by the drug companiesin documents submitted for FDA approval. Jeremiah 7:8 says, “Behold, you trust in deceptive words to no avail.” And in this case many did and many suffered for it. The fact of the matter is that we cannot trust this government. Our trust must be in Christalone.

We are talking about a corruption that is beyond the capacity of many Americans to comprehend. The FDA, Fauci, the CDC, Biden, the entire U.S. medical system and the corporate media mind-controlled millions of Americans into believing that using the well-known anti-microbialdrug Ivermectin was a laughingstock perpetuated by quacks and conspiracy theorists. They kicked to the curb any physician who sought to prescribe Ivermectin to his or her patients infected with Covid. Despite the fact that Ivermectin has been FDA-approvedfor use in humans for decades, this same deep-state apparatus made it sound like Ivermectin was just a �horse drug� that stupid people were dangerously ingesting in a failed attempt to ward off Covid. They mocked and derided us. Telling us we were using �horse paste� that was meant solely for livestock, when it was a known fact that Ivermectin, while used to protect equinesand bovines from various viral infections, is just as effective in humans. Now comes the bombshell report we�ve all been waiting for, exposing who the real quacks have been all along, detailing how they suppressed the administering of a well-known,very effective drug during the heat of the Covid pandemic that could have saved millions of lives. The Epoch Times reports that doctors are now free to prescribe Ivermectin to treat COVID-19, two years after millions were killed by doctors listening to Fauci and the FDA�sadvice not to treat them with a known effective drug. It all came out this week in litigation against the FDA. A lawyer representing the FDA said �FDA explicitly recognizes that doctors do have the authority to prescribe Ivermectin to treat COVID.� That lawyer is Ashley Cheung Honold, a Department of Justice lawyer representing the FDA. She made her comments during oral arguments on August 8 in the U.S. Court of Appealsfor the 5th Circuit. The government is defending the FDA�s repeated exhortations to people to not take Ivermectin for COVID-19, including a post on Twitter that said �Stop it.� Three doctors brought the case against the FDA, alleging the federal agency unlawfully interfered with their practice of medicine with its repeated statements blasting anddenigrating the use of Ivermectin to treat Covid patients. Why did it take this long, you ask? Because a federal judge dismissed the case on December 6, 2022, prompting an appeal. Jared Kelson, representing the three doctors, told the appeals court: �The fundamental issue in this case is straightforward. After the FDA approves the human drug for sale, does it then have the authority to interfere with how that drug isused within the doctor-patient relationship? The answer is no.� The FDA on August 21, 2021, wrote on Twitter: �You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y�all. Stop it.� The post, which linked to an FDA page that says people shouldn�t use Ivermectin to prevent or treat COVID-19, went viral. In other statements, the FDA said Ivermectin �isn�t authorized or approved to treat COVID-19� and �Q: Should I take Ivermectin to prevent or treat COVID-19? A: No.� 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 effortsto prescribe Ivermectin to patients. Other doctors were threatened with having their licenses revoked if they prescribed Ivermectin for Covid. The Epoch Times article cites Dr. Marik, chairman of the Frontline Covid-19 Critical Care Alliance, as noting that a number of studies support using Ivermectin against COVID-19,as the FDA itself has acknowledged. Federal law enables the FDA to provide information, such as reports of adverse reactions to drugs, but not medical advice, attorney Jared Kelson said. A version of the drug for animals is available, but Ivermectin is fully approved by the FDA for human use against diseases caused by parasites. Honold, the FDA lawyer, argued that the FDA didn�t require anyone to do anything or to prohibit anyone from doing anything. �What about when it said, �No, stop it�?� Circuit Judge Jennifer Walker Elrod, on the panel that is hearing the appeal, asked. �Why, isn�t that a command? If you were in English class, they would say that was a command.� Honold described the statements as �merely quips.� So they were just playing with us. They were just making quips, playing with our minds and trying to influence us not to use Ivermectin, but they weren�t �requiring� us todo anything. Remember that next time you hear anything come out of the FDA, or any government agency for that matter. [There were] hundreds of corporate media reports mocking Ivermectin as a drug �intended for barnyard animals,� and citing the FDA as the authority warning Americans not totake it. Fauci�s hands are also full of blood. He was routinely bashing Ivermectin as a viable treatment for Covid during the peak of the pandemic. In an interview with CNN�s ChuckTodd, Fauci also said, �Don�t do it.� The interview appeared totally staged. Todd phrased the question this way: �Cases are spiking in places like Mississippi and Oklahoma, because some Americans are trying touse an anti-parasite horse drug called Ivermectin to treat coronavirus. What would you tell someone who is considering taking that drug?� �Don�t do it. There is no evidence whatsoever that that works and it could potentially have toxicity because they�ve taken the drug at a ridiculous dose and wind up gettingsick, and there�s no clinical evidence that indicates that this works.� The reason Fauci, the FDA and the entire mainstream corporate media had to destroy the credibility of Ivermectin was because they had the real toxic drug � mRNA vaccines � ready and waiting to be deployed, the one that indeed had �no clinical evidence� of efficacy or safety. We must also remember that hospitals only received their bonus cash payouts if they used the vaccines and an expensive new drug called Remdesivir, which in many cases ledto kidney organ failure. And many states barred pharmacies from filling prescriptions for Ivermectin even when doctors prescribed it. These were crimes against humanity on a scale the world has never seen. As a result, millions died. Editor�s Desk: Why Is This News Biblically Relevant? Jan Markell, in her article, �Wicked Men, Corruption, Lies, AndDestructive Schemes�Are You Weary of Being Outraged?� wrote: We are just frankly, weary of being outraged. We groan that those in power never let a good crisis go to waste. We wonder how an entire system, the media, has been persuadedto further the lies and further promote such a nonsensical agenda. We get frustrated that too many pulpits will not address vital issues that could at least wake up some Christians. Politicians enter office as ordinary people, but in time, are worth tens of millions of dollars. Much of this wealth is from nefarious deals, and we are outraged. Today�spolitical players are nothing but a crime syndicate. No, nothing in this world works very well, and that is by design. But don�t interpret that as evil winning. Evil people will someday soon stand at the Great White Throne Judgmentwhere they will account for every one of their deeds, their lies, their greed, their selfishness. They will receive unspeakable justice. ------------------------------------
