Claim : FDA Lost Its War On Using Ivermectin For COVID-19!
People are claiming or suggesting that the US FDA just lost its war against the use of ivermectin for COVID-19!
Mary Talley Bowden MD : 🚨BREAKING:
FDA loses its war on ivermectin and agrees to remove all social media posts and consumer directives regarding ivermectin and COVID, including its most popular tweet in FDA history.
This landmark case sets an important precedent in limiting FDA overreach into the doctor-patient relationship.

Truth : FDA + Plaintiffs Settled, Ivermectin Still Not Approved For COVID-19
Let’s take a closer look at the claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Fact #1 : Both Sides Agreed To Settle Lawsuit
Let me start by pointing out that neither side in this lawsuit actually lost the case, as both sides agreed on a settlement. That was stated in the Stipulation Of Dismissal (PDF), which was filed on 21 March 2024.
Fact #2 : Case Was Dismissed With Prejudice
The plaintiffs, Robert L. Apter, Mary Talley Bowden, and Paul E. Marik, agreed to dismiss “with prejudice” all claims in the case. That means they agreed to dismiss the claims forever.
This means that the settlement is final, and not subject to further action; and the plaintiffs are prohibited from bringing any other lawsuit based on the claim, absent a successful appeal to a higher court.
Fact #3 : FDA Agreed To Remove Some Posts
While some people are claiming or suggesting that the FDA agreed to all posts on the use of ivermectin against COVID-19, that’s not really accurate. The FDA only agreed to do the following within 21 days:
- retire an old 2021 article called Why You Should Not Use Ivermectin to Treat or Prevent COVID-19, and delete and not republish all social media posts that link to the article; but the FDA retains the right to post a revised version,
- delete and not republish its old Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook posts from 21 August 2021, that read “You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it“,
- delete and not republish its old Instagram post from 21 August 2021, that read “You are not a horse. Stop it with the #ivermectin. It’s not authorized for treating #COVID“, and
- delete and not republish its old Twitter post from 26 April 2022, which read, “Hold your horses, y’all. Ivermectin may be trending, but it still isn’t authorized or approved to treat COVID-19.“
Another article called Frequently Asked Questions was already retired by the FDA, and played no part in this settlement.
In short, the FDA agreed to remove an old article and some old social media posts about not using ivermectin to treat COVID-19. That said, all removed materials will be archived, as required by federal law.

Fact #4 : Case Was Settled Without Admission Of Wrongdoing
According to Reuters, the three plaintiffs filed their lawsuit in 2022, stating that their reputations were harmed by the FDA campaign. Bowden lost admitting privileges at a Texas hospital, while Marik alleged he lost his positions at a medical school, and a hospital, for promoting the use of ivermectin against COVID-19.
But interestingly, this lawsuit appears to be settled without the FDA admitting to any wrongdoing, misconduct, or liability.
Neither this Stipulation of Dismissal nor the actions described herein shall constitute an admission or evidence of any issue of fact or law, wrongdoing, misconduct, or liability on the part of any party in this litigation.
In other words, the plaintiffs appear to have settled for the removal of an old article, and some old social media posts, without any change in FDA’s stance on ivermectin, or its use against COVID-19.
Overall, it seems to be a rather expensive way to remove an old article, and some old social media posts…
Fact #5 : Ivermectin Still Not Approved For Use Against COVID-19
It is important to point out that the FDA still has not approved or authorised the use of ivermectin in preventing or treating COVID-19. The FDA also pointed out that it has not stated that ivermectin is safe or effective for use against COVID-19.
Although FDA has approved ivermectin for certain uses in humans and animals, it has not authorized or approved ivermectin for use in preventing or treating COVID-19, nor has the agency stated that it is safe or effective for that use.
In addition, the NIH continues to strongly (AIIa) recommend against the use of ivermectin for the treatment of COVID-19.
