A fake and easily debunked story has been all over the media all weekend about how Oklahoma redneck hick dummy Trump voting JERKS are all overdosing on HORSE DEWORMER from feed stores and have flooded the emergency rooms and hospitals leaving no room for other more IMPORTANT and more SOPHISTICATED vaccinated fully human beings.
But it’s hogwash. Cow puckey. It ain’t so. And the SINGLE source for this FLOOD of misinformation is a jerk with an axe to grind who isn’t even A. FULL. EMPLOYEE. at the ER he claimed was overwhelmed.
That ER has had ZERO cases. Not overwhelming cases. Not many or a lot or so much that beds are taken up. ZILCH.
Here’s an example of the MSM freak-out.
"Patients overdosing on ivermectin backing up rural Oklahoma hospitals, ambulances"
"'The scariest one I’ve heard of and seen is people coming in with vision loss,' he said."https://t.co/P909GtxBQZ

Saturday, Sept. 4, 2021 – A recent interview with an Oklahoma rural emergency room doctor, Dr. Jason McElyea, has caused a stir regarding ER care at NHS-Sequoyah located in Sallisaw.
In a recent interview with KFOR in Oklahoma City, Dr. McElyea was quoted as saying that hospitals he works at are becoming overwhelmed from people taking ivermectin. He went on to state that ERs are so backed up that gunshot victims are “having hard times getting to facilities where they can get definitive care and be treated.”
Hospital administrator Stephanie Six said today that this is simply not the case in Sallisaw.
“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.”
“NOT HAD ANY PATIENTS WITH”
Unbelievable? Sorta, but sorta not.
They are being flayed on Twitter to no avail.
This is amazing. The media literally has no vetting process, it's just straight from someone talking shit to national news. The same vaunted voices trying to shut everyone down for misinformation, just gushing it out like they're Occupy Democrats or Gateway Pundit. https://t.co/nN69Qb5P1f

Rolling Stone ran a story that they could've debunked with a single phone call.
They didn't make that phone call because they wanted it to be true and because it went viral and got clicks.
And they'll keep doing it because no one will hold them accountable. pic.twitter.com/Kzl9ksfLEp

From Rolling Stone, to Maddow & no one thought to verify this guy's story. They published it and put it on tv and no one checked it. Purposeful malfeasance, and no one will lose a job over it. https://t.co/mpJaa49gzi

You'll be shocked to learn McElyea is suing the last hospital system he worked at for revoking his medical staff membership and clinical privileges.https://t.co/I3sgY2Jd6E

Here’s the question, but we already know the answer.
Is Twitter banning purveyors of "ivermectin overdoses crowding Oklahoma emergency room" misinformation?
The actual number of such patients at the hospital where Jason McElyea worked is zero. https://t.co/vWOn0NxvtO pic.twitter.com/Pe3fjNeqTM

You know there won’t be any consequences. They won’t be labeled “misinformation.”
Ironically, WE might be labeled that by Google for REPORTING this error by Maddow and Rolling Stone and Newsweek. Seriously, that will probably happen.
