Daily Stormer The Most Censored Publication in History
The court should have issued a ban on all government institutions using the word “y’all” in Twitter posts.
That was really much more offensive than the FDA lying about medicine, which is literally their entire purpose for existing in the first place.
CNN:
The US Food and Drug Administration has settled a lawsuit over some of its posts about ivermectin, including what may have been one of its more popular pandemic-era social media campaigns.
In August 2021, to discourage people from using ivermectin to prevent or treat Covid-19, the FDA tweeted “You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Serious y’all. Stop It.” and posted a similar message on Instagram. The tweet got nearly 106,000 likes.
The antiparasitic drug, which is prescribed to treat neglected tropical diseases in humans like river blindness and scabies, can also be bought over-the-counter at livestock supply centers to help deworm animals such as horses and cows.
Some conservative outlets touted the drug as safe and effective against Covid even though the FDA and the World Health Organization encouraged people not to use it, saying it was ineffective against Covid and could even be dangerous if someone took too much.
Some conservative media personalities and lawmakers said information about the effectiveness of ivermectin was being downplayed because of its low price. It was also praised as a “miracle drug” by Dr. Pierre Kory, a pulmonologist and president of the Frontline COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance, who testified at a US Senate committee hearing in December 2020. Even popular podcaster Joe Rogan, who took the drug along with several other medicines after testing positive for Covid, got into a spirited discussion with CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta about it at the time.
In August 2021, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention sent a health advisory warning doctors and the public about the “rapid increase” in prescriptions for ivermectin and an increase in reports to poison centers about severe illness caused by the drug. Some people who took higher than recommended doses or used the animal formulation developed neurological symptoms, and some were hospitalized, studies show.
The FDA said in an email to CNN on Wednesday that it “has chosen to resolve this lawsuit rather than continuing to litigate over statements that are between two and nearly four years old.”
…
The FDA told CNN on Wednesday that the lawsuit challenged its authority to issue a Consumer Update in March 2021, several tweets and other social media posts from 2021 and 2022 that linked to the article, and two FAQs posted in 2020, which the FDA said have “already been retired from the agency’s website.” The posts and other materials will be removed and archived as required by law.
It seems like a meaningful win.
The thing is, it is totally meaningless all these years later.
Any time you get a seemingly meaningful win, you realize that it comes years after the issue lost all meaning.
No one remembers the “horse paste” hoax, and even if they do, they are much too distracted by various new hoaxes to think much about the fact that the government has admitted to hoaxing them once again.
Ivermectin is often recognized–2nd to penicillin–for having the greatest impact on human health.
Its discovery even won the Nobel Prize.
But the propagandists told you it was a “dangerous horse dewormer.”
Well, it now turns out that ivermectin has multiple anti-cancer effects.… pic.twitter.com/9Dc4je2dg4
