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'.
They may have gotten some quotes from a (cooperative) doctor but I’d say the whole thing is fiction the #FakeNews media has concocted.
The fact that numerous media outlets have all come out with obvious propaganda about Ivermectin within the space of a week is pretty good evidence of that.
