The European Medicines Agency (EMA) advises against the use of ivermectin for the treatment or prevention of COVID-19 outside of clinical studies, due to insufficient scientific evidence of its effectiveness. In the Netherlands, doctors may only prescribe medicines off-label if protocols or guidelines have been developed within the professional group. No such protocols exist for ivermectin for COVID-19 or Long COVID, which means that prescribing it in this context is not permitted.
Ok so where does the FDA, which is what this claim is about fit in? Where specifically does it say the FDA ever had, has, or will have the authority to deny the prescribing of Ivermectin?
I could drum up medical laws in Brazil, how does that legitimize the post about the FDA?
Policies were heavily influenced by international organizations (NGOs) In America, the FDA took a similar stance, rejecting the use of ivermectin for COVID-19, with warnings like "You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it."
Agreed, and they were rightfully sued for this. They did not however "reverse" or "approve" or as JOG's lying subject line says, consider Ivermectin a "Solution". Nothing changed about the FDA stance on Ivermectin. JOG's post is a lie.
Doctors have been fired or sanctioned for prescribing or promoting ivermectin during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in the US.
Agreed. And their Employers should be considered the responsible party. I could provide a list, no exaggeration, 178% longer than the one you provide here, of medical staff just in Colorado, that have prescribed Ivermectin off-label with zero punitive actions. The entire Common Spirit healthcare system allows Ivermectin off-label prescriptions - that's hundreds of doctors.
Why? Because the FDA never did what JOG's lying reference is saying.
JOG is doing nothing more than hoping we don't notice that the video provided is exactly the same information he argued before repackaged in a different social media post. The FDA has not changed their stance.
