IVERMECTIN — In a recent court case, lawyers representing the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clarified that doctors are free to prescribe ivermectin to treat COVID-19, despite the FDA’s public statements advising against its use for this purpose. The case was brought by three doctors—Drs. Paul Marik, Mary Bowden, and Robert Apter—who allege that the FDA unlawfully interfered with their medical practice through its public statements against the use of ivermectin for COVID-19 treatment. These doctors claim they were professionally harmed by the FDA’s statements, including being terminated over efforts to prescribe ivermectin to patients. The FDA, represented by Department of Justice lawyer Ashley Cheung Honold, has made several public statements, including a viral tweet, advising people not to use ivermectin to prevent or treat COVID-19. Honold argued that these statements were not commands and did not prohibit doctors from prescribing the drug. She also contended that the FDA has the authority to communicate information to the public about safe uses of drugs to protect public health. The judges in the case, however, indicated skepticism about the FDA’s authority to give medical advice. The case is under appeal after a federal judge dismissed it in 2022.
