The FDA was sued and lost (or at least agreed to a settlement) over those comments, which were consequently deleted. Ivermectin is a human antiparasitic that's even on the WHO List of Essential Medicines.

Off-label usage for pharmaceuticals is extremely common and an important right of doctors. I mean that's pretty much the entire point of this topic!
