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.

Any Oklahomans have anymore insight?
How about making it available in human-sized doses OTC to avoid the overdosing?
The Left: Those hill billy hicks shoudl DIE from COVID if they don’t want to be forced to take the shot!!!!
ALSO the Left: OMG, we must stop those same people from overdosing on Ivermectin!!!!
WHAT THE HELL???!!?!?!
You might od if you take a dose big enough for a 1000 lb horse.
[ How about making it available in human-sized doses OTC to avoid the overdosing? ]
Shut up bigot!!!
You are making too much sense!!!!
WHY ARE WE FORCING AFGHAN REFUGEES TO TAKE HORSE AND DOG DEWORMER?????
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.
As with any chicken little sky is falling BS story by the hysterics in the Fake new, what are the number of cases?
Hogwash propaganda. Like the Blacks in America the the media claims are too stupid to get an ID card for voting, poor southern whites cannot read pound numbers on a vial
You might od if you take a dose big enough for a 1000 lb horse.
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!

Ivermectin is the 2021 version of HCQ
Allow doctors and pharmacies to prescribe it and problem solved.
Maybe their from A-stan. Heard they’ve been taking a lot of deworming meds. :-}
We have a cattle ranch in SE Oklahoma. Have heard nothing about this in our area. Latimer county
My brother has two friends that had covid and after taking ivermectin in two days found relief including their sense of smell returned.
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.
Tomorrow’s headlines today:
Chicago Gangs Discard Guns; Now Rub Ivermectin on Enemies to Kill Them
exactly. at the very least allow doctors to prescribe and pharmacies to fill prescriptions.
FDA is the problem
