No blue checkmarks lost, no apologies, just utter BS peddled with no consequences.
Rachel Maddow still has her blue checkmark on Twitter. The ultra-rich (reportedly earning $30 million a year in her new MSNBC contract) news commentator gleefully spread a false story that rural hospitals and ambulances in Oklahoma were backed up because so many ignorant rubes were overdosing on ivermectin horde medicine. Some were even losing their vision.
It is all part of a campaign to demonize ivermectin, and totally false. The original story appearing in Rolling Stone was as fake as that magazine’s University of Virginia rape hoax.
So, where’s the accountability? There is no tag from Twitter calling this misinformation. No sign on Maddow’s Twitter feed that she takes responsibility for spreading a false story that could lead to people not taking an effective medicine. Why, people could miss a life-saving treatment. This is the sort of thing where the left cries “Blood on your hands!” when there is an opportunity to criticize a conservative.

And the fact is that, despite the AMA calling for an end to use of ivermectin for Covid – because people self-administering the drug have overdosed – as happens with aspirin all too frequently in suicide attempts), it has been endorsed by medical authorities overseas and can demonstrate remarkable effectiveness.

Deceit is a tool of the atheist left.
Apology hell!
They put out a false story that had to have affected the hospital’s business.
They should be made to pay.
Where are the lawsuits against the Medical Treatment Center and the Dr. who spread the false rumors?????????
“Where are the apologies for spreading (fake news)...”
Also, where is the ANGER at being suckers and spreading fake news?
And those are 2 questions that people on our side can ask Leftist family members (and other Leftists) regarding ANY media story that has been proven to be fake. I used it with my family regarding Trump/Russia collusion. About the only answer one of them could muster up was “It still happened, but Mueller didn’t find it”.
But for anyone on the fence (and believe it or not, there still are)...just ask them where the anger is on the part of the media when they’ve been ‘tricked’, and where are the apologies when they’ve been ‘tricked’.
ANSWER: Either they’re in on it (clearly the case with Russian collusion), or it fits their agenda and they have liability protection, so they don’t care that it’s wrong.
But lying does have a price too, which is why called them the “Drive-by Media” where they drive up to you, fire off a few rounds, and leave. In this case, the poor hospital, in the middle of nowhere, was likely getting SWAMPED with phone calls from locals and other (non-mainstream) media, and was forced to issue their statement.
Apologies nothing. LAWSUITS!
NIH: COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines
They seem insistent on treating it as a traditional flu with hydration, bed rest and such, and if you get sick enough to go to the hospital, you might get a hospital bed, IV fluids, oxygenation, and antibodies offered, but then what? A ventilator?
Just as irritating, the guidelines say this:
"...The Panel recommends using anti-SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibodies for the treatment of mild to moderate COVID-19 and for post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) of SARS-CoV-2 infection in individuals who are at high risk for progression to severe COVID-19, as outlined in the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Emergency Use Authorizations (EUAs). While there are currently no shortages of these monoclonal antibodies, logistical constraints (e.g., limited space, not enough staff who can administer therapy) can make it difficult to administer these agents to all eligible patients. In this statement, the Panel offers suggestions for how to prioritize the use of monoclonal antibodies for treatment or PEP when there are logistical constraints for administering therapy..."
So, instead of doing what normal people do in emergencies (and they talk about this as the most exigent public health emergency since The Spanish Flu) in which important resources become scarce or non-existent, they talk about...triage. Determining who might survive if they get the scarce treatment, and "hoping" others don't cross into that threshold of need.
Yes. That makes me both angry and deeply suspicious. Incompetence doesn't explain it.
I understand that hospitals are unlikely to cross instructions from the CDC, NIH and the government by deviating from the "official" guidelines because if they did, they won't get reimbursed, and probably opens them up to lawsuits, so I blame those entities far more than the individual hospitals.

Review of the Emerging Evidence Demonstrating the Efficacy of Ivermectin in the Prophylaxis and Treatment of COVID-19
After COVID-19 emerged on U.S shores, providers began reviewing the emerging basic science, translational, and clinical data to identify potentially effective treatment options. In addition, a multitude of both novel and repurposed therapeutic agents were used empirically and studied within clinical trials.
In summary, based on the totality of the trials and epidemiologic evidence presented in this review along with the preliminary findings of the Unitaid/WHO meta-analysis of treatment RCTs and the guideline recommendation from the international BIRD conference, ivermectin should be globally and systematically deployed in the prevention and treatment of COVID-19.
There appears to be a major effort made to prevent the use of Ivermectin in the prevention and treatment of Covid-19 cases. The question is WHY???
Why aren’t dozens of media investigators on the trail of Dr. Jason McElyea? That’s what I want to know
What’s the background on this fraudster?
I just got 3 days in face book jail for posting this article on face book. Something is up big time.

All of it covered up by the MSM and social media websites!! And who were they getting their instructions from???
Hundreds of thousands of people wouldn't have had to die!!
“...so I blame those entities far more than the individual hospitals.”
Agree - even I’ve been surprised at just how powerful the government is in these matters, to the point where there is virtually no freedom to try other methods, if the government doesn’t want you to do that.
Nina Teicholz found that out when writing her book on the nutrition scam, where the ‘official’ guidelines for diabetics is a high-carb diet. Might as well have them ingest arsenic while they’re at it. And it is all controlled by the government...because if you deviate from that and your patient does bad, they can sue you. But if you do what the government says, you have the defense of ‘Don’t blame me, blame the government - go sue them’, which, of course, is not possible.
apology? try CHARGES...
Since when do the partisan media shills apologize or even meaningfully retract any of their panic porn?

Many thanks for this!
As to your question:
“There appears to be a major effort made to prevent the use of Ivermectin in the prevention and treatment of Covid-19 cases. The question is WHY???”
Money.
Hospitals get funding for in-patient treatment, whereas outpatient treatment that may cost $20 to $100 or so does not bring in that much.
Control.
Most noticeably seen in the reaction of Australia to the virus.
Exactly. And it isn’t just the handcuffs placed on health care by both Medicare and NIH/CDC guidelines that deviation from exposes a physician providing care.
There is a fascist element to this. It has been observed by many people that physicians tend to lean left. And most hospitals have physicians in prominent policy and leadership roles, for obvious reasons.
And a good many of them are Leftist. Not always true, as I have known a good number who are conservatives, but generally speaking...that is the rule.
And those Leftist physicians are all to eager to do the bidding of the Federal government. Certainly, there will be rewards such as increased reimbursement, that kind of thing, but I suspect many are very willing to do what the NIH/CDC suggest/mandate.
There is a name for governments in which industry acts at at the bidding of the government and in tandem with it. (and this is not me-this is the Biden Administration stating aloud what they wish to do, and how they wish to implement mandates. They certainly aren’t hiding it.)
Bump. Those “guidelines” are disgusting.
BIG PHARMA
EXPERT: Okay, we have this antibody treatment which is really not all that effective but does reduce your chance of dying by about 20%, so there's that. However, it is three or four thousand dollars to buy, has to be administered under the direct supervision of a physician in a controlled setting, and we are having a difficult time getting it in stock.
PATIENT: Really? Aren't there any options if we can't get that antibody that reduces my likelihood by dying by about a fifth, what can we do?
EXPERT: Well, of course, you would be at the top of the triage list to get the antibody unless we deem you too far gone, then...we can give you steroids, and put you on a ventilator to try to help you to breathe.
PATIENT: Good God! That sounds like a death sentence. Isn't there anything I can do before I end up in the emergency room having trouble breathing?
EXPERT: Nope. Just the usual way you would approach the flu if you got it. Harvard says on their website to hydrate, get rest, and take acetaminophen! Sooo...make sure you have plenty of that on hand!
PATIENT: But Trump said it was just a bad flu, and I hate him! Now, you are saying what he says?
EXPERT: Well, uh, I have another patient to talk to, gotta run! Stay hydrated, and...good luck!
PATIENT: That's it? Nothing at all I can do?
EXPERT: Nope! Sorry! Bye!
