More and more recordings of pharmacists refusing to fill prescriptions are coming out. How much damage did the FDA’s ridiculous “Horse” tweet do?
Another day, another prescription refusal from an ignorant pharmacist who gets information from an FDA social media intern. In this one from October 8, 2022 “Tyrell” at CVS in Midlothian Texas has a confusing story that involves a Texas board telling him he can’t prescribe, then references correspondence that he doesn’t have from a government institution, and also states he’s out of the medication. Tyrell ends the call when Dr. Mary Talley Bowden shames him for refusing a medication that he knows is safer than Tylenol.

This alarming video shines a light on how medical industry professionals can be conned into falling for the ‘bandwagon‘ effect. According to Wikipedia:
The bandwagon effect is the tendency for people to adopt certain behaviors, styles, or attitudes simply because others are doing so.

Doctors: Record these rejection phone calls
If you are a doctor whose basic medications are being denied by ignorant, inexperienced pharmacists, we encourage you to please record these interactions and send us the information. This behavior must end and the fastest way to do that is to expose these pharmacists for their behavior.
The FDA made this mess
In August 2021 the FDA and Texas Dept of State Health Services posted a series of tweets that caused much confusion in the medical world. Pharmacists were confused and only experienced ones who understood the drug were comfortable prescribing it because it is extremely safe and has anti-viral indications. The confusion created by these public agencies ‘quips’ resulted in a lawsuit by Dr. Mary Talley Bowden against the FDA which is currently going forward.
We’ve already covered the embarrassing smackdown the FDA recently received regarding the slander of ivermectin as a treatment for COVID. It was not the FDA’s place to meddle in the affairs of doctor/patient relationship and the Fifth Circuit of Appeals pointed that out.
The FDA’s tweet emboldened pharmacists to sabotage the medication. A great example of can be seen in this reddit/CVS forum post where an alleged CVS pharmacist says: ‘I absolutely hate ivermectin and the idiots who prescribe it for Covid’.
Interesting corporate culture CVS has. Perhaps it’s best to take your business to pharmacies that still appreciate business.
