FDA officially rescinds statement: "You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y'all, stop it."
This tweet has disappeared from X:
Mary Talley Bowden together with Robert L. Apter and Doctor Paul E. Marik sued the FDA over their statements rubbishing Ivermectin as a treatment for Covid 19.
The FDA has now agreed to delete their twitter post and their consumer update about Ivermectin, to which the twitter post was linked.
In a court case in the United States District Court Of Galveston in Texas, the FDA agreed to the following conditions of the plaintiffs dismissing their court case:
Retire FDA’s Consumer Update entitled, Why You Should Not Use Ivermectin to Treat or Prevent COVID-19, originally posted on March 5, 2021, and revised on September 7, 2021 (ECF No. 12, Ex. 1), while retaining the right to post a revised Consumer Update.
Delete and not republish (1) FDA’s Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook posts from August 21, 2021 (ECF No. 12, Exs. 4, 5), that read, “You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it.”; (2) FDA’s Instagram post from August 21, 2021 (ECF No. 12, Ex. 6), that reads, “You are not a horse. Stop it with the #ivermectin. It’s not authorized for treating #COVID.”; (3) FDA’s Twitter post from April 26, 2022 (ECF No. 12, Ex. 7), that reads, “Hold your horses, y’all. Ivermectin may be trending, but it still isn’t authorized or approved to treat COVID-19.”; and (4) all other social media posts on FDA accounts that link to Why You Should Not Use Ivermectin to Treat or Prevent COVID-19 (ECF No. 12, Ex. 1).
