A Washington law firm has filed a federal lawsuit against the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for interfering with the use of ivermectin as a treatment for COVID-19.
The lawsuit was filed by Boyden Gray & Associates on behalf of three doctors who were disciplined for prescribing human-grade ivermectin to patients.
The firm’s founder, attorney Boyden Gray, is a former legal adviser to the Reagan and Bush administrations.
Gray told The Epoch Times that the FDA had violated well-established law that allows doctors to prescribe an FDA-approved drug as an off-label treatment.
Ivermectin was no different, he said. It was approved by the FDA in 1966.
“Congress recognized the importance of letting doctors be doctors and expressly prohibited the FDA from interfering with the practice of medicine,” Gray said.
“That is exactly what the FDA has done time and time again throughout this pandemic, assuming authority it doesn’t have and trying to insert itself in the medical decisions of Americans everywhere.”
The three plaintiffs in the case are Dr. Paul Marik of Virginia, Dr. Mary Bowden of Texas, and Dr. Robert Apter of Arizona.
Marik is a founder of the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care 21 Alliance (FLCCC), a national nonprofit that promotes alternative COVID-19 treatments to the government-touted vaccine.
“The FDA has made public statements on ivermectin that have been misleading and have raised unwarranted concern over a critical drug in preventing and treating COVID-19,” Marik told The Epoch Times. “To do this is to ignore both statutory limits on the FDA’s authority and the significant body of scientific evidence from peer-reviewed research.”
According to Marik, more than 80 medical trials conducted since the outbreak of COVID-19 show that ivermectin is a safe and effective treatment for the virus.
Gray said the FDA has engaged in unlawful interference with the use of ivermectin and should be held accountable for that.
The lawsuit included several statements made by the FDA that Gray said show that the administration interfered with the use of ivermectin.
They include an Aug. 21, 2021, Twitter post by the agency: “You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it.”
The post, with an image of a horse and a doctor, has a headline that reads, “Why you should not use ivermectin to treat or prevent COVID-19.”
Marik, Bowden, and Apter are among a number of U.S. doctors across the United States who have been disciplined for prescribing ivermectin.
Marik, a critical care specialist, was suspended by Sentara Norfolk General Hospital for prescribing ivermectin as a COVID-19 treatment. Bowden, an ear, nose, and throat specialist, was suspended from the Houston Medical Hospital. Apter was under investigation by both the Washington Medical Commission and Arizona Medical Board for prescribing ivermectin.
Marik was recently informed that he was under investigation by the medical licensing board in Virginia.
Gray filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Texas.
The doctors are seeking a permanent injunction that would prohibit the FDA from interfering with the use of ivermectin for the treatment of COVID-19.

C. Boyden Gray in the 80s was such a proponent of methanol-powered cars and so believed in the safety of methanol as a fuel that he offered to drink a glass of methanol in public. Thank goodness someone talked him out of it because this FDA lawsuit is most welcome.
The real evil, and real shame lands at the feet of EVERY doctor who went
along with this charade of “horse de-wormer that doesn’t work.”
Dr. Kory very early on used it on ALL his patients, and I believe none died.
The studies were irrefutable that it was safe and effective.
What this means is doctors killed their patients.
BTW, in case someone thinks I’m anti doctor,
my great grandfather, father, 2 sisters, uncle,
brother-in-law and 2 sons are doctors. My father would have
been in a rage over this. (RIP)
Not meant as an excuse, but I think the vast majority of these doctors are also victims (if you want to call them that) of mass formation. They cannot see it. We cannot make them see it. As such, they believed that they were doing what was morally right.
I don’t quite understand it either.
Dr. Kory revealed that about 200 Congress critters and staff had sought and been given alternative treatment like what FLCCC had developed. Meanwhile, thousands of Americans were dying because they were denied that treatment. That revelation received next to no media attention.
IVM is one of the safest drugs available, part of the WHO and UN’s “essential medicines”, but it had to be vilified in order for there to be an emergency use authorization, since by definition you cannot decree emergency use if there is already another medication available to treat the same issue.
Then they double down on their blatant lies by damaging the careers of any medical professional who still has the intelligence and decency to do their job as it was intended to be done, by putting patient well-being ahead of government lies and pharma profits.
Agreed but they are not patients, they are prisoners.
I did my own poor-man’s clinical trial of Ivermectin a few weeks ago. My wife and I both caught COVID while we were on vacation. A couple days after we returned, we both were feeling under the weather and tested positive for COVID. We are the same age, eat the same food, care for ourselves in similar ways, and both carry a few extra pounds, but would not be called fat. We also both have been jabbed (me very reluctantly).
After testing positive, my wife, being a faithful NY Times-reading, government-believing liberal, used the standard treatments for COVID, i.e., bed rest. Me, being a tin-foil hat wearing, conspiracy theorist, started taking Ivermectin that my friendly Indian pharmacy delivered to me months prior.
The clinical trial results: my wife spend three days dead on her ass in bed with the worst flu she had in years. I, in contrast, had a very minor cough and a slight headache that didn’t even justify taking an aspirin.
I’m sure the Ivermectin had nothing to do with how our bodies handled the Chinese bug.
I guess you are a newbie since the many articles here would have stopped you from getting the jab.
2 years too late!
Godspeed.
I can’t believe that people still think that any of this will be resolved in a courtroom.
