FDA Settles Lawsuit over Ivermectin Social Media Posts
The FDA has agreed to delete and never republish several social-media posts suggesting that ivermectin, a drug that some doctors used to treat COVID-19, is for animals and not humans.
While the FDA still does not approve of using ivermectin to treat COVID, it settled Thursday a lawsuit brought by three doctors who sued it, as well as the Department of Health and Human Services and its secretary, Xavier Becerra, and FDA secretary Robert Califf. All parties have settled.
The lawsuit, filed on June 2, 2022, was brought by doctors Mary Talley Bowden, Paul Marik and Robert Apter, each of whom claimed the FDA was interfering with their ability to practice medicine.
The case was initially dismissed on the grounds the FDA had "sovereign immunity," though a U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit reversed the lower court's decision saying that the "FDA is not a physician."
The appeals court also said that, "Even tweet-sized doses of personalized medical advice are beyond the FDA's statutory authority."
The FDA and the doctors reached a settlement dated Thursday that stipulates the FDA will retire a Consumer update titled, "Why You Should Not Use Ivermectin to Treat or Prevent COVID-19."
The FDA also will delete and not republish posts to Twitter (now X), LinkedIn and Facebook that read: "You are not a horse. Your are not a cow. Seriously, y'all. Stop it."
Also, it will delete and not republish an Instagram post reading: "You are not a horse. Stop it with the #ivermectin. It's not authorized for treating #COVID," as well as a Twitter post that reads, "Hold your horses, y'all. Ivermectin may be trending, but it isn't authorized or approved to treat COVID-19."
This issue was famously brought to the forefront when podcaster Joe Rogan grilled CNN chief medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta over the former's use of ivermectin, which CNN repeatedly referred to as a "horse dewormer."
"I can afford people medicine," Rogan told Gupta three years ago. "This is ridiculous. It's just a lie."
