Steroids were proven to work, my father didn't receive them because of bad policy from CDC. Now they are the gold standard of care. Anything I can do?

Other Criminal Charges & Offenses I want to sue CDC for poor policy regarding steroids for Covd

Did your father pass away? If so, when? What state did this happen in?

Do you have a doctor that has said that steroids (and there are many different steroids out there) would work.

Proven by whom to work for what purpose?
Huh?
Again, huh?
I'm confident you can do lots of things.
You have no standing to sue anyone based on medical care that was or wasn't administered to your father unless he died as a result (in which case you could, in theory, have a wrongful death case, but there's no valid claim against the CDC based on your disagreement with a policy that that agency adopted).

You cannot successfully sue the CDC over this. The CDC didn't treat your father; presumably a doctor provided the treatment for your father. That doctor is one who determined what treatment to provide. If the doctor was negligent in the treatment provided then his estate or heirs may have a wrongful death claim to pursue, assuming he died as a result of the negligent treatment.
One of the problems here is that covid-19 and the various strains of it are a new disease and the medical community is constantly learning more about it and revising the recommendations for treatment as they learn more. A treatment that they determine today to be effective cannot help someone who died from it months ago. So the fact that treatment recommendations changed after your father died wouldn't support any legal claim. We only expect people to proceed based on the information that is available at the time, not whatever information might come up later in the future.

Correct, which is why I said "assuming he died". If his father didn't die and has recovered from the covid, then I don't see what the complaint would be about the father not getting the steroid treatment. After all, in that case whatever treatment he did get worked. In any event, if the father still lives it would be up to his father to sue for anything out of this, not the OP.

Right not the world health organization has said remdezivir doesnt help, in fact it makes things worse, yet for months since this statement, remdezivir is still standard of care in states... how can things be so corrupt?

the science was more than clear when dad needed help.
Doctors are being threatened they must follow cdc/fda guidelines.
Yet, the cdc/fda corruption in favor of big pharma is demonstrable.
I dont personally care about damages. I want the fda/cdc to do the right thing going forward.
I'm in New York. But I can find similar tragedies in every state.
Can someone point me to a courageous lawyer willing to fight for people's lives?

Science is sometimes messy. Corona-19 virus is fairly new and virologists and others are continually learning and updating what really works and what doesn't. In the meantime, there is not always a clear consensus about what treatments should be used. That's not corruption; that's how science works. It's not the cut and dry, absolute truth, never changing thing that a lot of the public seems to think science is. Eventually that consensus forms and the science gets refined and the treatments improve. We just have to go with what the best science is at the time and be prepared for that to change as new data comes in.

The world is corrupt. The price of hamburger yesterday was up a dollar a pound from a year ago. Who do I sue for that?

Doctors are still the ones at the end of the day who must decide what treatments to provide. There isn't some big penalty the CDC can impose on doctors for not following "guidelines."
You cannot successfully sue for that. If you try the case will get promptly dismissed for lack of standing and for failure to state a valid claim. You might even get penalized for filing a frivolous claim.

Do you have any sources to cite for the things you're posting? Again you wouldn't sue the FDA or CDC - you'd sue the doctor who provided treatment - and there's no guarantee it would even go very far either.

I was going to make a comment about the increase in hamburger prices over the last 5 years, but as I started to research the numbers, it quickly became a rabbit hole. Suffice it to say that I've seen a huge increase in the price of hamburger in the last 10 year, covering periods of donkeys and elephants alike.
