A federal judge on Dec. 6 agreed to throw out a lawsuit that was filed against the U.S. government over its repeated exhortations not to take ivermectin against COVID-19.

Plaintiffs, three doctors, said the FDA violated the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act by its warnings against using ivermectin to treat COVID-19.
