The FDA Settled With Us Because They Knew They Were Going To Lose

After 4 years of catastrophic health agency tyranny, physicians finally score a legal victory. I think the FDA settled because their Pharma masters were terrified of discovery. Here is the backstory.

Karen,

I just officially joined after listening to Paul Marik’s interview on CHD.TV today. I only heard the recording, so was unable to comment in the chat. I don’t know if you have doc Mario’s ear, but after you congratulate him, please let him know the FDA was continually giving the public “disinformation” rather than “misinformation”. Coincidentally I was talking with a colleague last week and we were asking ourselves what the difference actually is. CHATGPT gave me the response that MISinformation is UNintentional whereas DISinformation is intentional and malicious. As we all know, given this definition the FDA gave the public disinformation (unless Dr Marik had no choice due to political reasons with the settlement of course)!!!

Unfortunately I am now employed in a hospital/medical school where the staff proudly have check marks in their badges. When I started I asked what those checks represented-the number of jabs they received. I’ll retire before I get another one of those jabs (I refuse to call them vaccines for obvious reasons).

This win for Mary Talley Bowden is a small first step.

It will be interesting to see whether other Court cases against the FDA will progress and more definitively expose their responsibility for the persecution of Physicians, and the lack of care for Patients.

Some Dr.s lost their licenses, their jobs / livelihoods, and their ability to treat Patients with Early Treatment options during the Pandemic.

Most notably Insurance co.s pulled Ivermectin from Formulary and specifically prohibited reimbursement when prescribed for Covid Care based upon the FDA’s ‘directive’. The FDA denied this influence and intention in recorded court hearings.

Tri-Care Military insurance started requiring a Pre-Authorization form and automatic denial if prescribed for Covid. Whereas in 2020 we filled our Rx for a 90 Day supply at Walgreens for $12. 😭

(This TriCare PreAuth form shows an updated co-pay and current denial eg automatic STOP 🛑)

FDA Ivermectin Settlement - Follow-Up

A response to some readers disappointment with the settlement plus details of another interesting aspect of the case that I did not include in my original post.

Here is a summary of how the FLCCC (Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance) beat the FDA in court:

## Key Points

1. The FLCCC, along with three doctors (Robert Apter, Mary Talley Bowden, and Paul E. Marik), filed a lawsuit against the FDA in June 2022, alleging that the FDA overstepped its authority by telling the public to “stop” using ivermectin to prevent and treat COVID-19[1][2][3].

2. In December 2022, the U.S. District Court initially dismissed the lawsuit, citing that the FDA had “sovereign immunity” which protected the agency from any wrongdoing[2][3].

3. However, in September 2023, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit reversed the lower court’s dismissal, ruling that the “FDA…has identified no authority allowing it to recommend consumers ‘stop’ taking medicine” and that the FDA’s actions went beyond just “informing” the public[2][3].

4. The appeals court stated that the doctors had “plausibly alleged that FDA’s Posts fell on the wrong side of the line between telling about and telling to” regarding ivermectin use[3].

5. As a result of the appeals court ruling, the lawsuit was revived, and in March 2024, the FDA agreed to a settlement with the FLCCC and the three doctors, removing certain social media posts and webpage updates that urged people to stop using ivermectin for COVID-19[1][5].

6. The FLCCC praised the legal team at Boyden Gray PLLC for their exceptional work in representing them in the case, which they considered a “victory for every doctor and patient in the United States”[1][2].

In summary, the FLCCC and the doctors were able to beat the FDA in court by successfully arguing that the agency overstepped its authority in discouraging the use of ivermectin, a drug that has been approved for human use, for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19.
