JTN-Federal judge said FDA tweets disparaging ivermectin “bother” him, lacking “qualifier statements” about human use. Commissioner razzed by doctors for claiming bivalents, oral antivirals have “distinct possibility” of reducing long COVID risk.
The FDA’s Twitter habits are getting scrutiny in court and from medical professionals as the feds seesaw between walking back their once-confident COVID-19 assertions and making sweeping new claims without providing evidence.
Having long ago conceded that COVID vaccines can’t stop viral transmission and that assertions to the contrary by President Biden among others were based on “hope” rather than science, the feds are now downplaying the influence of their social media to escape liability for allegedly violating statutory limits by interfering in medical judgments.
At the same time, over the past two months, FDA Commissioner Robert Califf has gone on a spree of evidence-free tweets about bivalent boosters and oral antivirals, such as Pfizer’s rebound infection-prone Paxlovid, prompting exasperation from leading doctors. MORE
Meh don’t feel bad. I just got banned on CTH for wrong think on the next POTUS race and the the Florida Legislatures efforts to advance their governor to the top spot. Silly me.
Ivermectin, the drug that won its creators a Nobel Prize for Medicine in 2015?
Ivermectin, the drug that CDC recommends for immigrants from many 3rd-world countries?

Of course it hadn’t been proven against the covid early on, and its primary use is against parasites. But FDA has a page (still!) literally pooh-poohing its use, calling it ‘horse dewormer’. Nope, no political bias here.
@Luvn – I think CTH is one of the best sites, they thoroughly research issues. But they are crazy against DeSantis, like he’s a Manchurian Candidate.

“This REALLY brings home the point of having an AVATAR!”
In case you haven’t noticed Einstein, they only go after people with Avatars.
Having said that, good luck to you, this is bull shit.
Brad, I was an early victim identity theft in the early 90’s.
Long before LifeLock etc.
I lived in Houston and some illegals took out a dozen credit cards in my name.
Over 200k$ in bogus charges.
Good times…

I bailed early on before I got banned. It’s a zombie sight. If you don’t agree with the management opinion you’re gone. Or you will be attacked by the Zombie horde until you leave. If that’s sights opinions were objectively reviewed they are not very accurate.
I discount anything they write. You can’t be that accurate if you’re that close minded. Just sayen.
Loco, while you’re here, help me find Chickencheeks – I’d really like to know how she’s doing $100 an hour and we only get $80.
