US EditionKen Paxton supports doctor’s challenge against Texas Medical Board in ivermectin case
Attorney General Ken Paxton filed to support Dr. Bowden’s challenge to a reprimand for ivermectin use, citing protection of licensed professionals’ rights and health freedom.
- On Thursday, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced he filed to intervene in Dr. Mary Talley Bowden’s lawsuit against the Texas Medical Board.
- The Texas Medical Board, a 19-member board including 12 physicians and seven public members, reprimanded Dr. Mary Talley Bowden in October 2021 and upheld the decision in December 2021.
- Bowden prescribed ivermectin for Jason Jones, a Tarrant County sheriff’s deputy at Texas Health Huguley hospital, and sent a nurse to administer it while staff called Fort Worth police; Jones’s wife sued, and courts later ordered the hospital to grant Bowden privileges.
- Paxton said he intervened `to ensure administrative agencies don't violate the rights of licensed professionals in Texas` and called Bowden a `champion for health freedom`, while the Texas Medical Board and Dr. Sherif Zaafran Thursday offered no immediate comment.
