One would think after the producer and Dan Rather lost their jobs for believing a person who said they had the paperwork to prove something was a set up, media would learn.

Richard Jewell was not enough to teach them even though the source was a mistaken FBI agent.

And the kid with the MAGA hat in DC sure caught my attention.

The question is are they naive, stupid or just lazy. But since the print media has let everybody over 45 and experienced go, working with kids just out of J school, it could be all of the above.

The truth is that prescriptions have increased 5 times, calls to poison control centers are up and they are creating shortages and people are using the drug.

The hospital story never sounded right to me. I ran it by some people that work in hospitals here and they never heard of such a thing. I think people should get vaccinated, but if they get sick and want Ivermectin, so be it. I have my doubts that it works, three guys on another board took it and it didn't help at all. Don't blame them for trying.

Yeah. I read that somewhere, too.

How do you know? We get lied to each and every day, and twice on Sundays. You cannot believe anything you read anymore

Have RS and Maddow issued retractions or did they just do a hit and run?

I’m afraid this is a trend with all journalism, just making up stories. It happens all too often these days since the main goal is not truth but clicks. How many times have we found that journalists with the New York Times, Washington Post, Rolling Stone, and other major newspapers have just made up stories or plagiarized stories?

In the article it had people in heavy coats in line at some type of facility.

A Heavy Coat in Oklahoma in August.

Yeah, I'm not believing that article.

Poison control denies there are issues with ivermectin too.

The doctor is already involved in a lawsuit with a hospital over another matter.

why would he get in trouble? It's not considered a lie if it supports The Narrative. Remember, it's for our own good and the end justifies the means.

That’s when a story about a rural Oklahoma hospital went viral. According to claims by a doctor who supposedly worked there, the hospital in question was so overwhelmed with people overdosing on ivermectin that it couldn’t treat gun-shot victims.

But within 24-hours the story had started to fall apart, beginning with the revelation that the doctor who was interviewed by Rolling Stone hadn’t worked at the hospital in months.
FYI, the doctor interviewed for that Rolling Stone article hasn’t worked at the hospital he claims to work at for over 2 month. pic.twitter.com/7K4i3ds6DG

After that, a full implosion took place. The hospital in question not only released a full statement, but they changed their internet homepage to reflect the correction of the false report.
This story is a lie from top to bottom, invented from whole cloth according to the hospital system in the area. The hospital claims this alleged doctor hasn’t worked in their hospital in months and that it hasn’t treated anyone for ivermectin “overdoses.” https://t.co/HlYlPBVrYJ pic.twitter.com/ux4MHsofdu
