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.

Unless they weigh as much as a horse (it is Oklahoma, after all...), do the math!

Don’t believe a word of it.

You can OD on Tylenol, if you scarf down the whole bottle. No one does that. No one OD’s on HCQ. No one OD’s on ivermectin.

Shooting victims tend to be black hence is why the left cares about the hillbillies ODing on horse wormer it’s keeping Tshawn from getting in the ER after the popo ventilated him. Otherwise your right the sentiment is let the rednecks OD and die. You have to look deeper. Rural OK, Tulsa and OKC have been diversified for a while now lots of places are super ghetto.

They have a really poor triage system if ivermectin overdosers are being seen before gunshot woulds.

We Texans tease a lot about Okies, but even we don’t think they’re this dumb!!!

Allow doctors and pharmacies to prescribe it and problem solved.

How can you say "problem solved," when Dr. Fauci makes no profit from it? How heartless of you!

Love your use of “ventilated”!!!

Joe-bob took horse paste and didn’t need to be ventilated for the Coof.

Tshawn got caught stealing Horse Tranquilizers and got ventilated by the police!

Yep....we’re going to hear these bs stories, just like we did when Pres Trump first touted HCQ as a safe, effective therapeutic, for china virus.

You know they’re in meltdown mode when their secret it out, stores are sold out of Ivermectin, teledocs are backed up for appointments, for weeks, and more and more success stories and studies of successful prevention and treatment continue to come out.

FRAUDci 💰cience working overtime to quell the truth.

I call bs too. An entire tube of horse paste is 113 mg of ivermectin, there are trials of ivermectin that have been close to that amount (one used 168mg) with no major effects. My guess is, if the story is even true, they used the kind that has other ingredients like the “plus” versions.

Yeah... This is baloney.

From article: “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.

Just how many gunshot victims do they see on a daily basis in Oklahoma? ...and have the doctors not heard of triage?

These articles are beyond laughable.

The main problem is that people are not measuring the dosage for a human.

This is incredibly unbelievable

You have to eat about 9 tubes of horse paste to reach human toxicity

at the very least allow doctors to prescribe and pharmacies to fill prescriptions

I assume you mean prescriptions for the human pill form without all the paste chemicals. Asking for a doctor to prescribe the large mammal paste is as silly as asking a doctor to write a prescription for a flea/tick collar.

Next best thing is walk over the Southern border with the illegals and just buy the stuff from a pharmacy down there, it's cheap and plentiful
