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.

“There’s a reason you have to have a doctor to get a prescription for this stuff, because it can be dangerous,” said Dr. Jason McElyea.

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.

OK, I call BS, this seems like a contrived story to debase Ivermectin's proven effectiveness.

Any Oklahomans have anymore insight?

How about making it available in human-sized doses OTC to avoid the overdosing?

If they are taking the amount for a 1,250 - 1,500 pound horse, all at once, they obviously need to go to the hospital.

They are idiots.

If you are so damned dumb you are OD on ivermectin by either drinking the “sheep drench” that contains other crap and denatured alcohol.... or not realizing you need to dose by weight....

You deserve to DIE/get sick.

Information for proper dosage is not rocket science!

Why aren’t they prescribing it for human beings?

All of the Afghani refugees received it before boarding, not for Covid but for parasites, so obviously it’s not harmful to human beings in regular human being doses.
