(REPORT) US heath officials hid urgent recommendation to use ivermectin for Covid


The watchdog group Judicial Watch has obtained documents from Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), including emails of then-Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Francis Collins regarding a British group’s recommendations on using the drug ivermectin to prevent and treat Covid-19.

Judicial Watch obtained the records as the result of an August 2021 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit for Collins’ emails filed after HHS failed to lawfully respond to a June 8, 2021, FOIA request.

In February 2021, a leading British physician and World Council for Health co-founder Dr. Tess Lawrie, who is director and founder of a doctors’ organization called the British Ivermectin Recommendation Development Group (BIRD), emailed 31 Food and Drug Administration (FDA) officials, including the Director of the Offfice of New Drugs in the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research Peter Stein; Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research Director Peter Marks; and then-Acting FDA Commissioner Janet Woodcock; and copying several leading foreign medical figures, with an email titled “URGENT: The BIRD meeting and recommendation on Covid-19 prevention and treatment.”

She attached a document titled “Draft BIRD Proceedings 25-02-2021 v.1.4.pdf.”

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. The BIRD Steering Group has taken heed of the WHO statement on ‘Developing global norms for sharing data and results during public health emergencies’ that states that ‘public disclosure of information of relevance to public health emergencies should not be delayed’, and also notes the ‘very great risks’ that can occur from ‘withholding data and results arising from analyses’. We are, therefore, sharing this evidence-to decision framework within just a few days of the BIRD meeting to avoid delay. Further, due to the urgency related to the communication and dissemination of this recommendation that is aimed at saving thousands of lives daily, please forgive the limitations of the draft proceedings document attached. Information on the process and methods can be found among the annexes. An Executive Summary is being finalised and will be available on Monday.

Later that day, Woodcock forwards Lawrie’s email and attachment to Collins, NIAID Director Anthony Fauci, Operation Warp Speed director David Kessler and several other HHS officials, with a comment that is entirely redacted.

“Rather than educate the public about the supposed reasons for their rejection of the Ivermectin-use recommendation, the FDA, NIH, and Fauci’s former agency have blacked out their responses in these documents,” stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

  1. Crimes against humanity?

    Early in the pandemic it was known that Ivermectin was effective as an early therapeutic against COVID.

    In December 7, 2020 Dr. Pierre Kory testified to Congress regarding the effectiveness of Ivermectin. He reviewed the multiple scientific studies confirming the effectiveness. He was de-platformed and ignored.

    The suppression of Ivermectin killed thousands and thousands of people. Who will be held to account for this?

  2. So how does one secure the redacted sections? After this further confirmation of the affective ness of ivermectin, Tyne responses and internal chatter would be the next most critical info to spotlight.

  3. We must always consider time of treatment. Antivirals have a parachute effect if given within 72 hours of symptom onset–the antiviral window for covid. After that, benefit reduces. Studies may be called “early treatment” but actually begin most treatment after the antiviral window is closed.

    1. My husband has used multi-drug therapies including IVM to save people deep in the infection, with O2 sats in the 50s.

  4. robert kennedy jr says that there is a law that prevents emergency use authorization of a drug if there are already drugs that will treat the condition. now we know why ivermectin and hyrochloroquinine were demonized. drug companies wouldnt be able to get it onto the child vax schedule for continuous profit, plus an added bonus of all the guinea pigs. way too many people made money off of these deaths and injuries.

    but we really need to verify this law and fast bef they take it off the books. anyone know where to start?

  5. I went to see my daughter. She is pregnant, had vaccines, cannot shake constant colds and right now has covid (again). I’m in my 60-ties, had covid once in 2020, I don’t get colds and I never caught my daughter’s (nor her husband’s) covid while spending a week with her. I take small dose ivermectin weekly.

  6. I’m 66 y.o. house painter , when they started talking Vaccine for covid i laughed told wife B.S. if they could do that there would be no cold and flu. Well they made one , all they had to do is change the definition !!! Much like Gain of Function , they changed the definition to keep doing it . After much research all of Fauci’s buddies changed it . Think maybe all the supposed scientists were looking at the billions in grants ? Who pays scientists, government. Don’t toe the line , no job !!

  7. PS , I love the Some Animals Are More Equal . My late father had a saying ” You can put lipstick on a pig , it’s still a pig !” Put lipstick on your pig Please.
