Because I follow the advice of medical professionals, not feeble-minded folks on a hooker board that get their advice from dipshit sites.

...‘FDA is not a physician’ Marik said he and his co-plaintiffs sued the FDA because of “their false posts, and their false accusations or false pretenses that they made about ivermectin” and because the FDA “exceeded their statutory authority” in doing so.
Referring to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals’ September 2023 ruling that the FDA exceeded its authority, Marik said the judge in that case told the FDA that “you are not a physician. You’re not in a position to dictate how physicians practice medicine.”
Marik said that while the FDA has the power and the regulatory authority to regulate drugs, it is not in a position to influence how doctors behave. “Essentially, that’s what the case was about.”
According to the plaintiffs, the FDA influenced the narrative regarding ivermectin through various statements, publications and social media posts.
This content included an infamous August 2021 tweet stating, “You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it,” which linked to an FDA webpage, “Why you should not use ivermectin to treat or prevent COVID-19.”
Marik said the settlement does not affect the 5th Circuit’s ruling, which now stands as legal precedent....
A bit deeper in the article, we learn some how's and why's:
...‘They wanted the mRNA platform to become … the standard’
Marik said that because of the FDA’s messaging, physicians and the public believed that ivermectin was made for animals and that it was a toxic horse dewormer.
“That was completely false and fabricated,” Marik said. “Billions of doses [of ivermectin] have been used in millions of patients. It’s one of the safest medications on the planet.”
Calling ivermectin “a truly astonishing drug,” Marik said that in addition to being very effective against a range of parasitic diseases, it’s also effective against several RNA viruses, including SARS-CoV-2.
“It acts via a number of mechanisms to inhibit replication of the virus,” he said. “It also has anti-inflammatory properties.”
Marik said the Frontline COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance included ivermectin in its COVID-19 early treatment protocol for these reasons, noting that “where ivermectin was readily available, [it] resulted in a significantly lower risk of hospitalization and death.”
He said its safety and effectiveness are supported by “101 studies [involving] 140,000 patients from 29 countries.”...
More on this later in another post about the Great Barrington Declaration, which to date has signed on:
16,121 Medical & Public Health Scientists
47,705 Medical practitioners
875,985 Concerned Citizens
--------------------------
939,811 Total Signatures from 30+ countries
A bit more about the prevailing plaintiffs here, in the aforementioned article:
‘FDA Is Not a Physician’: Dr. Paul Marik Weighs in on Ivermectin Settlement
In this week’s “The Defender In-Depth,” Dr. Paul Marik discussed the FDA’s agreement to remove statements discouraging the use of ivermectin to treat COVID-19. He also shared his views on why he believes mRNA vaccines are linked to the surge in “turbo cancers.”
By Michael Nevradakis, Ph.D. ...
The reasoning that actual Doctors leaned towards Ivermectin was essentially because of its anti inflammation properties, such as in the lungs for things like pneumonia, which is the effect of the covid for the more sever cases according to practicing Doctors world wide.
Sidelight consideration, The Great Barrington Declaration and American's Front Line Doctors were heavily censored on social media via collaboration/collusion with the US Government. (See Murtha vs Missouri @SCOTUS)
