DOJ attorney admits FDA's crusade against ivermectin during COVID was a "mistake," "abuse of authority"

Project Veritas has done it again. An undercover reporter was able to capture on film an admission by Department of Justice (DOJ) attorney Isaac Belfer that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which he represented in court, lied to the world in claiming that the generic antiparasitic drug ivermectin is ineffective "horse paste" against the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19). As you may recall, ivermectin was a touchy subject all throughout the "pandemic" after President Trump made mention of it early on as a remedy for COVID. The FDA started pumping out lies about how the public should avoid taking ivermectin, which landed the agency in court. The three doctors who sued the FDA – Drs. Mary Talley Bowden, Robert L. Apter, and Paul E. Marik – ended up winning their multi-year case after the agency issued guidance, in violation of the law, against using ivermectin as a remedy for COVID. "You are not a horse," the FDA tweeted in 2021. "You are not a cow. Seriously, y'all. Stop it." According to Belfer, the FDA deserved to lose the case in which he represented the agency because it overstepped its statutory authority in tweeting the above medical advice, making those who were taking ivermectin sound silly. "So, what the agency has done ... [is] unquestionably beyond its authority," Belfer told the undercover Project Veritas reporter. "Making a recommendation of what drugs to take or not to take, that's the practice of medicine. And FDA can't practice medicine." (Related: Pairing ivermectin with fenbendazole, another antiparasitic drug, can prevent and treat cancer, according to a growing body of evidence.)

Operation Warp Speed eclipsed ivermectin

Another thing the FDA did wrong with its handling of ivermectin during COVID was fail to inform the public that the award-winning antiparasitic medicine has been safely and effectively used -- on humans -- for decades, having been approved for use by the FDA itself back in the mid-1990s. Nobody had a problem with ivermectin until COVID arrived. Then, suddenly, it was perceived as "crazy" and well outside the bounds of normal medicine for anyone to try it, at least according to government authorities. Even though most avoided it like the plague, some medical doctors were brave enough to prescribe ivermectin to their COVID patients in defiance of the FDA's warnings. Some of the doctors who did this ended up being punished by the medical police state. The FDA played a key role in driving anti-ivermectin sentiment all throughout the "pandemic." By keeping ivermectin out of the limelight, the agency and others were able to push the fast-tracked, big money-making COVID "vaccines" that were unleashed through Operation Warp Speed. "This speedy vaccine roll-out could only be accomplished through the FDA's emergency use authorization (EUA), and only if no other alternative medications existed to treat COVID-19," Project Veritas explains. "The FDA's tweets caused a deadly chain reaction. The agency's pronouncements were swiftly enforced by national medical associations and regulatory agencies, pharmacists refused to fill prescriptions, insurance refused to pay for it, and doctors who prescribed it faced career ruin." According to Dr. Apter, there were likely millions of unnecessary deaths that occurred because of the FDA's crusade against ivermectin. "If more people had access to early treatment in the form of ivermectin, monoclonal antibodies, hydroxychloroquine ... we could have nipped the pandemic in the bud," added Dr. Bowden. Don't forget: the FDA cannot legally dispense medical advice. Learn more at FDA.news. Sources for this article include: ProjectVeritas.com NaturalNews.com
