Oh dear...
Yet ANOTHER bogus, totally misrepresented 3rd-party meme
from OzPol's resident village idiot LOL.
The US Food and Drug Administration has settled an ultimately
vexatious lawsuit over some of its posts about ivermectin,
including what may have been one of its more popular, lightweight,
pandemic-era social media campaigns.
In August 2021, to discourage people from using ivermectin to
prevent or treat COVID, the FDA tweeted “
You are not a horse.
You are not a cow. Serious y’all. Stop It.” and posted a similar
message on Instagram.
Which was a completely valid and clinically-supported public
request,
as there was zero evidence that ivermectin was of any
use pre- or post-COVID infection. The FDA and the World Health
Organization encouraged people not to use it.
And of course, and right on cue, the usual COVID/ivermection conspiracy
theorists—among them Joseph Mercola, Sherri Tenpenny, Pierre Kory,
Robert Malone, Paul Marik, John Campbell, and even Joe Rogan and
Alex Jones—started flooding social media with their unqualified,
misrepresentative bullshit.
The full—true interpretation—of the FDA case is
HERE. To claim that
the FDA's early social posts were responsible for anybody's deaths is
truly ludicrous—considering that Trump's delay in accepting that COVID
was a serious killer, and his absurd advice that ivermectin, laundry bleach,
and anal UV light could treat and/or prevent the virus, or that "
As if by a
miracle", it would just disappear were responsible for an estimated
100,000+ additional, unnecessary COVID deaths.
