Steve, the conclusion of the case literally does not constitute a legal precedent. This is precisely because the case was settled.

Settlements are agreements between parties to resolve a dispute without a court judgment, while precedents are established through court decisions.

As a Medical Freedom Movement we are exactly where we were. The FDA's PR person made a statement that the FDA has not changed their position on ivermectin at all.

I wonder if the FDA and individuals at the FDA could be sued under "42 U.S. Code § 1983 - Civil action for deprivation of rights" because their illegal actions caused damage to patients whose doctors or hospital obeyed the FDA? I am not an attorney, but remember seeing a civil case in federal court where an employee of a city was fired for making public statements critical of the operation of the city. He sued the City and City Councilman for damages and won a $20,000 judgement, plus the Councilman had to pay not only his own legal bill but $100,000 for the employee's attorney. Seems to me, a lot of people died or suffered damage because of the interference of the FDA in the right of people to accept or refuse legal medical treatment under the care of their licensed doctor.
