The Food and Drug Administration reportedly settled a lawsuit  filed by three Texas doctors, agreeing to remove social media posts mocking the drug Ivermectin.

Drs. Mary Talley Bowden, Dr. Paul E. Marik and Dr. Robert L. Apter argued in their June 2022 suit that the FDA interfered with their ability to practice medicine and prescribe Ivermectin to treat COVID-19 patients during the pandemic, according to Emily Post News.

Part of the settlement involved the FDA removing two posts ridiculing the use of Ivermectin from multiple social media platforms, Emily Post News also reported. One post from Aug. 21, 2021, jeeringly told people who supported taking the drug, which was not approved by the FDA, that they were “not a horse” or “a cow.” “You are not a horse. You are not a cow.

The agency agreed to a settlement Thursday.
