Democrat President Joe Biden’s administration has been hit with a federal lawsuit for unlawfully blocking the use of the antiviral drug ivermectin as a Covid treatment.
A group of doctors is suing the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), accusing the federal agencies of “lying to the public” about ivermectin.
The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. Southern District of Texas in Galveston, The Texan reported.
The plaintiffs, Drs. Mary Talley Bowden, Paul E. Marik, and Robert L. Apter, argue that the FDA has overstepped its authority by unjustifiably interfering with their medical practice.
The doctors are contesting the FDA’s portrayal of ivermectin as “dangerous” for human consumption.
They note that the FDA has approved ivermectin for human use since 1996 for a variety of diseases.
