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.

I don’t know, you may be giving them more credit than they deserve especially the closer you get to Texas. The lines between SE Oklahoma and E Texas are pretty blurry. Hemphill County is having similar problem according to a friend who flies into Pineland to fish. I told him he should open up a dosage consultancy.

Trying to make a name for himself among lefties, so he can get out of the rural rat hole, where he’s serving time to pay for his education? (Just a wild guess on my part. And therefore, attaching the rat hole term, not me thinking it IS a rat hole).

As with any chicken little sky is falling BS story by the hysterics in the Fake new, what are the number of cases?

Yeah, it's bullshit alright - no way all these coincidences just happen to occur simultaneously. Sad to think that there is a fair number of people that will buy whatever the media spews out.

Another question

Really think we are stupid enough to believe rural OK has such a massive number of gunshot wounds that they are being held up getting ER care?

That anyone at the Fake News did bother to see thru that obvious lie is a clear indication of how desperately THE Fake News wanted wanted to believe the lie.

“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.

Another take on it besides the Ivermectin BS is the 'gunshot victims' angle.

Not only did they attempt to discredit Ivermectin but they add the left's ongoing war on guns and gun owners by stating that this damn gun violence is everywhere, EVERYWHERE, not just in NYC and Chiraq but in rural Oklahoma too; just another reason to ban those 'assault weapons' and 100 round 'clips'.

I see you told someone else you are 200 pounds.

That would mean a dose would be:

.2 mg/kg X 90.72 kg = 18.14 mg of ivermectin = 16%
.4 mg/kg X 90.72 kg = 36.3 mg of ivermectin = 32%
.6 mg/kg X 90.72 kg = 54.4 mg of ivermectin = 48%

If a tube/syringe has 6 grams and that equals 113 mg of ivermectin at the density you mentioned, the percentages above should do it well for your 200 pound pet.

I saw a warning label on some to treat horses saying that animals treated with ivermectin are not suitable for human consumption. Next they will be saying it is radioactive. Yikes!

This Dr. is full of s***. I looked him up and he is a lunatic. He has some horrible reviews on healthgrades such as:
"He's a smartmouth and i wouldn't recommend this lowlife freak to help anyone!" and

"Absolutely horrible experience with this obviously egomaniacal, borderline criminally negligent so called doctor."

Maybe the shortages are in certain areas. I checked and saw this report from Florida:

Have you checked why the ivermectin used to treat horses is dangerous for humans? There has to be a good reason.

Why are you going through all the math? Durvet’s plunger has the dosage engraved on it. Dial in your weight, upcap the tube, put it in your mouth, squeeze the plunger, done.

Because that dosage is for deworming a horse. Different mammal, different purpose. Turns out, double the horse weight should be dialed in for covid treatment. The same weight should be dialed in for preventative/prophylaxis. I’m not using it as a preventative so I would need double the horse weight for treatment purposes.

Select the protocol of your choice from that link, from prevention through to in the hospital and afterward.

The FLCCC has the document at the bottom of the page, usually with two pages you flip between.
