In a newly released undercover video, a lawyer who defended the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in a federal lawsuit admitted that the government agency had exceeded its authority in online statements regarding the use of ivermectin during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“It’s okay for FDA to communicate information about the drug, but it’s not okay to take the next step and actually tell people ‘You should not take this drug,’” said Isaac Belfer, a trial attorney with the U.S. Department of Justice’s Consumer Protection Branch, Civil Division.
