The rise in people using ivermectin, an anti-parasitic drug usually reserved for deworming horses or livestock, as a treatment or preventative for Covid-19 has emergency rooms “so backed up that gunshot victims were having hard times getting” access to health facilities, an emergency room doctor in Oklahoma said.
This week, Dr. Jason McElyea told KFOR the overdoses are causing backlogs in rural hospitals, leaving both beds and ambulance services scarce.
“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,” McElyea said.
“All of their ambulances are stuck at the hospital waiting for a bed to open so they can take the patient in and they don’t have any, that’s it,” said McElyea. “If there’s no ambulance to take the call, there’s no ambulance to come to the call.”
Yola Cancels Concerts After Testing Positive for Covid-19 DeSantis Determined to Put Kids in Danger, Fights Court Mask Mandate Ruling People getting sick from ivermectin — especially as some people take a formulation of the drug used in livestock — has become so frequent that this month the Food and Drug Administration released a statement imploring Americans to stay away from the drug that has not been approved to treat or prevent Covid-19. “You are not a horse. You are not a cow,” the agency said while linking to an explainer about the dangers of ingesting ivermectin designed for livestock.

Rolling Stone ‘Horse Dewormer’ Hit-Piece Debunked After Hospital Says No Ivermectin Overdoses
Rolling Stone ‘Horse Dewormer’ Hit-Piece Debunked After Hospital Says No Ivermectin Overdoses
A similar report was posted yesterday here at Free Republic.
Basically what they would have you to believe is that a town like Idabel Oklahoma population 6000 and something is inundated with hundreds of gunshot victims every week. And those mean nasty antivaxxers are keeping hundreds of gunshot victims from getting the attention they so desperately need.
This is fake news. But it’s from the Rolling Stone. So what else is new?
Either Oklahoma has very stupid people and the state needs Darwin’s help. Or this is a big fat lie. Alex, I will take big fat lie for $1000.
So, he’s just making stuff up.
What a bunch of effin liars. The guy who invented the drug (Campbell) won a Nobel Prize in 2015 and it’s been prescribed a Billion times already. People in Africa live on it and I doubt they have horses... or Covid.
Sallisaw Oklahoma. Population 8571.
What this idiot doctor would have us believe is that on any given weekend there are hundreds of gunshot victims in Sallisaw who cannot be treated because antivaxxers are taking a horse dewormer.
Hospitals do medical triage in the ER to find who is priority.
Hospital says the doctor Rolling Stone quoted hasn’t worked there in two months & they haven’t had any IVM patients in the ER anyway. -

Stilwell OK has a population of 4,000. The cited doctor had this experience:
“Dr. Jason McElyea, a rural emergency room physician, had a gunshot victim in his facility whom for hours he was unable to transfer to a higher level of care because no one had space. One of McElyea’s colleagues had to send a severely ill COVID patient all the way to South Dakota.
“They had sat in a small hospital needing to be in an ICU for several days and that was the closest ICU that was available,” McElyea said.”
Repeating for emphasis: “for hours he was unable to transfer”....
The article is relies on the Oklahoma State Medical Association. How do they think?
“Parents of schoolchildren joined the Oklahoma State Medical Association on Thursday in filing a lawsuit seeking to overturn a state law banning mask requirements in public schools.
“This is not a political stance; it is about public health and common sense,” medical association President Dr. Mary Clarke said in a statement. “If schools can send students home for a lice infection, they should have the latitude and ability to issue a mask mandate.”
Nope. Not a politically partisan group, are they!
The DR is a liar.
‘Rats shooting ‘Rats are somehow a priority?
Smells like BS. How many gunshot victims do rural hospitals really get?
On The First 48, the homicide detectives in Tulsa stay pretty busy. It's mostly bangers shooting each other.
Literally the first sentence starts off with a falsehood, why trust the rest of it?
There is nothing from any of your sources that claim ivermectin is responsible for the hospital backlog but that is the claim in the 1st story. Lie number 1
Here is another lie told by the "Drs". The current spike in Corvid patience they are complaining about is despite the vac.' Virus mutates There is now a new strain. Having the vac does not prevent you getting the disease again. So if the Dr is knowing lying about this, what else are they lying about. This is a propaganda exercise not serious news
“COVID — yes — is taking up room, but COVID we can prevent (with vaccination). I can’t prevent someone tomorrow from having a heart attac
