Last week a Fake News story was run about a rural Oklahoma hospital that was backed up due to Ivermectin overdoses and that patients were being turned away / gunshot victims had to be sent away due to the sheer volume of overdoses.

Turns out the entire story was a "Compete Fabrication" and not a single news outlet fact checked the story before running it both nationally and internationally.

You can just google it, hundreds of "News Stories"
Here are some examples of that Fake News:

Patients overdosing on ivermectin backing up rural Oklahoma hospitals, ambulances

kfor.com...



SOUTHEASTERN OKLAHOMA, Okla. (KFOR) – A rural Oklahoma doctor said patients who are taking the horse de-wormer medication, ivermectin, to fight COVID-19 are causing emergency room and ambulance back ups.

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.

Oklahoma hospitals deluged by ivermectin overdoses, doctor says

www.theguardian.com...

Oklahoma's ERs are so backed up with people overdosing on ivermectin that gunshot victims are having to wait to be treated, a doctor says

www.insider.com...


An ER doctor in Oklahoma said rural hospitals in the state are clogged with people overdosing on ivermectin.
Dr. Jason McElyea said the bed shortage was so severe that gunshot victims are waiting to be treated.


So, it appears all of these stories are based on "One Doctor" saying it with absolutely zero fact checking actually done with the hospital.


www.theblaze.com...



An Oklahoma hospital corrected the record Saturday after the mainstream media pushed a false story claiming "gunshot victims" had been turned away after experiencing a surge of patients who purportedly overdosed on ivermectin.

The hospital that KFOR stated McElyea was associated with — Northeastern Health System - Sequoyah — released a statement Saturday revealing that McElyea is "not an employee" there, and explained the hospital has not experienced a single case of ivermectin overdose.

Although Dr. Jason McElyea is not an employee of NHS Sequoyah, he is affiliated with a medical staffing group that provides coverage for our emergency room. With that said, Dr. McElyea has not worked at our Sallisaw location in over 2 months.

NHS Sequoyah has not treated any patients due to complications related to taking ivermectin. This includes not treating any patients for ivermectin overdose.

All patients who have visited our emergency room have received medical attention as appropriate. Our hospital has not had to turn away any patients seeking emergency care. We want to reassure our community that our staff is working hard to provide quality healthcare to all patients. We appreciate the opportunity to clarify this issue and as always, we value our community's support.




They have not treated a single person for Ivermectin overdose... not a single one!

In an interview with KXMX-FM, hospital administrator Stephanie Six reaffirmed what the statement said.

"We at NHS-Sequoyah have not seen or had any patients in our ER or hospital with ivermectin overdose," Six said. "We have not had any patients with complaints or issues related to ivermectin."

The media once again spinning the news that this is a "horse medicine"

"Ivermectin is a medication that is used to treat parasite infestations.[6][7] In humans, this includes head lice, scabies, river blindness (onchocerciasis), strongyloidiasis, trichuriasis, ascariasis, and lymphatic filariasis.[6][8][9][10] In veterinary medicine, it is used to prevent and treat heartworm and acariasis, among other indications.[9] It can be taken by mouth or applied to the skin for external infestations.[6][11] It belongs to the avermectin family of medications.[6] It works through many mechanisms of action that result in death of the targeted parasites.[6] "

Hmm i wonder if this is why it seems to help with Covid.

"Ivermectin binding pushes these channels open, increasing the flow of chloride ions and hyper-polarizing the cell membranes."

en.wikipedia.org...

Perhaps it prevents the virus from entering the cells.

Keep in mind the above quote was talking about

"Ivermectin and its related drugs act by interfering with nerve and muscle function of helminths and insects.[56] The drug binds to glutamate-gated chloride channels that are common to invertebrate nerve and muscle cells.[57] Ivermectin binding pushes these channels open, increasing the flow of chloride ions and hyper-polarizing the cell membranes.[57][56] This hyperpolarization paralyzes the affected tissue, eventually killing the invertebrate.[57] In mammals, ivermectin cannot cross the blood-brain barrier and so it does not make it to the brain.[57]"

I wonder if the MSM retraction of the story is as veracious as the initial story itself. My bet is no. Any takers? C'mon...easy money here people...

CNN is trying its best today to drum up covid-19 fears.

They are describing how critical Care units are being overrun, how unvaccinated people are ruining the lives of vaccinated people, how little children are being exposed to unvaccinated parents which is killing them... Way over the top, even for this terrorist organization.

This is interesting, my daughter told me of some overdoses, but nobody dead, just stomach upset, you know diarrhea, some vomiting and discomfort from the one for animals.

The thing is that people have to make sure that they are not 1 ton horse or cow, soo many do not try to measure their body weight to match doses.

Looks Like Fox News Just picked it up.

www.foxnews.com...



Rolling Stone was forced to issue an update to their viral story about Oklahoma hospitals being overwhelmed by patients who overdosed on the drug ivermectin after the doctor they cited was contradicted by the hospitals he referenced.

The Rolling Stone later published an "update" to the top of the story which repeats NHS' statement.

Critics slammed the magazine for publishing what appears to be a false story.

Independent journalist Glenn Greenwald tweeted "The only reason Rolling Stone is calling this an ‘UPDATE’ as opposed to what it so plainly is -- a RETRACTION -- is because liberal outlets know that their readers don't care at all if they publish fake news as long as it's done with the right political motives and goals."

Most people did not comprehend the enormity of the statement president Trump put out, where he described how the mainstream media is the biggest terrorist threat facing America and Americans.

I know, they have been bought and taken over by tech and corporate interest, that seems to be the destruction of the nation.

Japanese Dr. goes Live regarding Ivermectin


Dr. Kazuhiro Nagao on Japanese TV saying he's used #ivermectin as early treatment for over 500 covid patients with practically 100% success rate. Asks for nationwide use.
Dr. Nagao is director of the Nagao Clinic and a university professor.

It brings to my thoughts something that might be a possible reason that that doctor lied to some reporter. If he hadn't worked for a few months, he may have needed money. Or he just could be looney as hell, he should have his license taken away if he actually said what the news said he said. I think it is more of a fabrication created by the reporter that interviewed him though, again a chance to get recognition in his field of work. If he had gotten away with it it could have boosted his reputation and led to a better job.

I wonder if Fauchi or the CDC read those articles and that fueled their articles blasting people taking cow medicines. You would think that those agencies would do a little verification research before saying anything....lets face it though, we are talking about big wheels looking to smash any medical treatment they have not approved...they are not going to admit they got buffaloed.

That’s only one limited aspect. If ivermectin can do a quarter of what this paper claims, then this SHOULD be a first line drug in hospitalization.

We’re talking about blocking ACE2 receptor binding, the formation of immune complexes to inactivate virus, blocking nuclear transport and overclocking of cell protein production, formation of viable virus, blocking virus proteins from stopping STAT pathways and up regulating dangerous release of inflammatory proteins and chemokines/cytokines, protecting tissue, and preventing antigen presenting cell suppression.

There is so much more in this paper that it needs to be researched. Short term use, absolutely and immediately. Now, based on its impact to nuclear transport and intra and extra cellular signaling, I wouldn’t take it long term but an idiot could see it’s potential. It even blocks the RdRp protein, the genetic printer of SARS-CoV-2.

No, the reason it is thought to help with clearing coronavirus infection is because it can interfere with the action of importin (IMP) α/β1, as discussed in the famous Caly, et. al. paper from March of last year:

“The FDA-approved drug ivermectin inhibits the replication of SARS-CoV-2 in vitro“

www.sciencedirect.com...

However, it was pointed out in the paper by Schmith, et. al. in May of last year that even a dose of Ivermectin 10 times greater than the dose currently approved for humans can not generate a high enough concentration of Ivermectin in humans to create the effect reported in the Caly et. al. paper.

“The Approved Dose of Ivermectin Alone is not the Ideal Dose for the Treatment of COVID-19”

I knew the story was crap when I read it. Glad to see these hospitals set the record straight.
