Wow. I'm like, so shocked and saddened to learn our trusted news sources may have been lying to us. That's never happened before and now my faith in them is shattered.

Seriously, it never occurred to anyone running this story to pick up the phone and make a 5-minute call to the hospital to verify this quack's story?

Basically we have no idea what happened either way with those 3 in the mix.
Actually an Oklahoma City NBC affiliate ran it first, just Rolling Stone and MSNBC picked the ball up and ran with what was clearly propaganda.

We know with the facts that the story is BS, period.

Patients overdosing on ivermectin backing up rural Oklahoma hospitals, ambulances

Dr. McElyea said patients are packing his eastern and southeastern Oklahoma hospitals after taking ivermectin doses meant for a full-sized horse, because they believed false claims the horse de-wormer could fight COVID-19.

“The ERs are so backed up that gunshot victims were having hard times getting to facilities where they can get definitive care and be treated,” he said.

Dr. McElyea said the patients are suffering from nausea, vomiting, muscle aches and cramping, and that’s only in minor cases.

“The scariest one that I’ve heard of and seen is people coming in with vision loss,” he said

You'd think Rolling Stone of all places would vet their stories a bit more carefully after that UVA campus rape hoax nearly got them sued out of existence.

It is obviously a hoax if people would use their brain.

So many ivermectin overdoses that gun shot wound victims aren't getting attention? Ambulances are frozen at the hospitals because there are no beds and no one to help due to ivermectin overdoses?

So stupid with those assertions. The lie wouldn't have likely been exposed had they made it less grandiose.


The mainstream media is propaganda. They'd rather push a narrative than vet obviously BS claims.

Someone else posted this in a different thread and I instantly knew it was BS.

Of course the mainstream media didn't check it out well despite reading of BS, because it aligned with their narrative.

If overdosing on ivermectin was possible, you wouldn’t be be able to buy it off the self and it wouldn’t be FDA approved.

Liberals have no right to attack a proven and safe drug.

Oh, I believe in stupid people all right. Such as every news outlet that swallowed the bait, hook, line, and sinker without bothering to verify any of it.

I came across more people saying not to take the vaccine today including nurses while on vacation. It's fascinating to hear more perspectives from the "little people."



People will not take a vaccine. A vaccine in development since the early 90s. A vaccine taken by over 5 billion people world wide. About 0.0020% of people have died after taking the vaccine but it is pretty clear the overwhelming majority of these people had other issues and the vaccine was not responsible. There have been a few hundred cases of myocarditis and Gullain-Barre Syndrome out of the 10s of millions of doses given in select people that generally have other underlying conditions. Bottom line is the vaccine is far safer than driving down the high way or even being outside during a thunder storm. A vaccine that has clearly proven to keep people out of the hospital and prevented death.



And yet .... and yet ....


Many of these same people will take street drugs including pot and opiates that have been manufactured who knows where with who knows what added. The same people that have medicine cabinets full of prescription drugs and that have no clue what is in them.


These same people that are terrified of a medically proven vaccine will take a cattle de-wormer. Poison control centers are reporting nearly a 300% increase in OD cases of invermectin. In Mississippi there was a 70% surge in calls to poison control that were related to people who ingested a drug meant for livestock.


Only in this day and age of lies and propaganda do you actually have to tell people NOT TO TAKE COW DE-WORMER and try to convince them a medically proven vaccine is a true health benefit and an infinity better choice than COW DE-WORMER.


Hell. President John Adams in the mid 1700s trusted early forms of vaccination to save his children from small pox. Now, nearly 300 years later, people are more ignorant than ever.

Also,

“Since the beginning of May, we’ve received reports of 11 people being exposed to ivermectin,” said Scott Schaeffer, managing director of the Oklahoma Center for Poison and Drug Information. “Most developed relatively minor symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and dizziness, though there’s the potential for more serious effects including low blood pressure and seizures with an overdose, as well as interactions with medications such as blood thinners.”

Thank you. There are so many fake stories circulating out there with similar situations as this or even worse (like completely made up hospital staff). Not surprised it was posted here as absolute fact without any sort of checking done.
