That is, and was already, patently untrue. That's an internet meme, twisted from a similar-sounding but profoundly different-meaning set of words.
The fact: the FDA has no control over doctors who choose to prescribe medicines off-label. The FDA made a statement to the public explaining exactly that.
"The FDA has no control over" is not the same as "The FDA does not object."
The FDA did, and still does, recommend that people NOT take ivermectin to treat COVID-19. However, they don't have any control over what doctors prescribe. If a doctor DOES prescribe it off-label, and you die as a result of taking the off-label prescription de-wormer, then your family's attorney might want to have a word or two with the doctor.
Just because Charlie Kirk said it on Twitter in August doesn't mean it's true. It wasn't true in November 2022 when the conspiracy nonsense came out, and it's still not true.
