“FDA made these statements in response to multiple reports of consumers being hospitalized, after self medicating with ivermectin intended for horses, which is available for purchase over the counter without the need for prescription,” Ms. Honold said.

A version of the drug for animals is available, but ivermectin is approved by the FDA for human use against diseases caused by parasites.

Ms. Honold said that the FDA didn’t purport to 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.”

Ms. Honold described the statements as “merely quips.”

“Can you answer the question, please? Is that a command, ‘Stop it’?” Judge Elrod asked.

“In some contexts, those words could be construed as a command,” Ms. Honold said.

“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 rise to the level of a command.”

The statements “don’t prohibit doctors from prescribing ivermectin to treat COVID or for any other purpose” Ms. Honold said. She noted that the FDA, along with the statements, said that people should consult their health care providers about COVID-19 treatments and that they could take medicine if it was prescribed by the provider.

“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,” she said.

Amazing. The FDA was apparently making quips regarding your medical health that you should not have taken seriously.

EDIT: I left out the best part.

Ms. Honold also said that the courts can’t hold agencies accountable when they provide false or misleading information: “The FDA is politically accountable, just like all other executive agencies.”

So I tried to archive an article from insider about this but its been excluded conveniently. TLDR a guy who claimed to be an ER doctor at an Oklahoma hospital network said that emergency rooms were so full of Ivermectin overdoses that people with gunshot wounds were forced to wait outside. The hospital later clarified no one had been admitted for ivermective OD. The supposed doctor was a guy named Jason McElyea who the hospital clarified worked for a staffing company and no longer had any contact with them. I'm going to refrain from saying what I'd like to and just say that that was a crazy time and it is disappointing so many people have moved on when so many were most likely murdered for $40,000 dollars and to avoid discrediting the vaccines, then on top of that the FDA posted sarcastic memes to gaslight you.
