In February of 2021, just one month into the reign of Biden I, doctors in England reported to US public health officials that Ivermectin should be approved to treat COVID-19.
While the document attached to the email is completely redacted, Lawrie’s cover letter states: “BIRD panel conclusions are that Ivermectin should be approved immediately for prevention and treatment of covid-19:”
The British Ivermectin Recommendation Development Panel recommends ivermectin for the prevention and treatment of covid-19 to reduce morbidity and mortality associated with covid-19 infection and to prevent covid-19 infection among those at higher risk. [Emphasis in original].
Acting FDA director Janet Woodcock forwarded the email to the next level up of so-called health officials, including Fauci, Collins, and Kessler, but her remarks are completely redacted, according to Judicial Watch. We do not know what she said or how she felt about the recommendation.
Ivermectin was available for people and had been safely used on humans for decades. If the FDA had done nothing, doctors would have prescribed it, and pharmacists filled those prescriptions because off-label use was the standard of care. he same is true for Hydroxychloriwuine. Health experts in the bureaucracy had to interject themselves to prevent common access and use.
And they did.
Note: Since 2020, we have added over 160 articles in our archive that mention Ivermectin or include research or expert opinion on the drug.
The FDA knew, but in February of 2021, they got a big thumbs up to using Ivermectin from health experts in the UK. Six months after the BIRD panel draft document, the FDA would post its now-infamous Horse-paste tweet, igniting a media smear campaign and a war on the drug.
We cannot begin to guess how many lives would have been improved or saved. About 800,000, according to this account.
Maybe the FDA needs to chance it’s name to the Food and Death Administration.
