Tyson retained an attorney, Matthew P. Tyson (no relation), to draft a letter that was hand-delivered to the pharmacy. He’s not had any trouble since then.

From the lawyer’s letter to pharmacy:

It has come to my attention that your pharmacy has refused to fill valid prescriptions
for ivermectin. Your pharmacy manager told one customer that the refusal was because
ivermectin was not FDA-approved for use in treatment of COVID-19. This same manager
told the prescribing physician that she was “not comfortable” dispensing a prescription for
ivermectin to treat COVID-19 and that there was “no indication” for the prescription.

The FDA does not “approve” uses at all. The FDA merely determines whether to
approve or clear products for marketing and labelling of the “intended use” submitted to it.
To be marketed, a product need only have a single intended use. All treatments beyond
such intended use are a matter of discretionary medical practice by licensed physicians.

New “off-label” uses for drugs are often discovered after the FDA approves a
package insert. Off-label use is legal and widely accepted practice. A manufacturer’s label
is not proscriptive, and does not prohibit use for a longer period, or in any other manner
not described in the labeling. The FDA cannot and does not prohibit physicians from
prescribing off-label use. Any assertion that a prescription is invalid because it is off-label
is utterly devoid of basis in law or fact. It is for the professional judgment of a licensed
physician – and not a pharmacist or the FDA – to determine that an off-label prescription
is appropriate treatment for a patient.

FT. WORTH, Texas, Jan. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — The United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas today issued a preliminary injunction, stopping the Department of Defense from punishing military service members who have religious objections to the vaccine mandate. First Liberty Institute filed a federal lawsuit and motion for preliminary injunction on behalf of dozens of U.S. Navy SEALs and other Naval Special Warfare personnel against the Biden Administration and the Department of Defense for their refusal to grant religious accommodations to the COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

The court’s order can be read here.

“Forcing a service member to choose between their faith and serving their country is abhorrent to the Constitution and America’s values,” said Mike Berry, General Counsel for First Liberty Institute. “Punishing SEALs for simply asking for a religious accommodation is purely vindictive and punitive. We’re pleased that the court has acted to protect our brave warriors before more damage is done to our national security.”

It’s against my religion to take any medication with secret ingredients. Also against my religion to take any medication that is coerced on me. Not to mention in violation of US law, the Nuremberg Code, the Helsinki Declaration, and the fundamental principle of bodily autonomy. ABN

AN open letter signed by 199 Austrian physicians and doctors has been sent to the President of the Austrian Medical Association following the announcement of the country’s plans for criminalization of the unvaccinated which come into force next month.  

The doctors have accused their President of violating basic medical ethics by threatening colleagues who don’t comply with disciplinary sanction. They point out to him the duties by which physicians are bound – something many doctors employed by our very own NHS, as well as the General Medical Council itself, are in dire need of a reminder of. They refer to the three pillars of evidence-based medicine on which their calling is based and demand that their highest representative, the president of the Austrian Medical Association respect them, and if not, resign.

The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday scaled back the scope of a court ruling blocking President Joe Biden’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate on healthcare workers nationwide, limiting the injunction’s application instead to 24 states, while permitting the enforcement of the Biden mandate in more than half of the country.

…There is one point that is particularly noteworthy: Americans must routinely produce documents, pay fines, and otherwise expend resources to comply with the law.  Courts don’t inquire as to the ability or financial resources to comply with the law – they must comply.  In fact, it would be laughable if a billionaire defendant came before a court and claimed poverty to escape making a document production, but that is the FDA’s position.  The Court, we hope, will do what it does with all parties: enter an order requiring the FDA to follow the law.  If the FDA has an issue with doing so, it should take its complaint to Congress, not ask the Court to deviate from the law or give it any special accommodation from compliance with the laws that every other American must comply with.
