[Hoax?] Gunshot Victims Left Waiting as Horse Dewormer Overdoses Overwhelm Oklahoma Hospitals, Doctor Says
Rolling Stone ^ | 3 September 2021 | Peter Wade

Posted on 09/04/2021 7:08:47 PM PDT by Fractal Trader

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.

I do not believe these stories. People have known about Ivermectin for over a year. But suddenly, when the Delta variant story is not taking off like they hoped, and the Afghanistan “blame Trump” story is not holding water, I’ve seen breathless reports attributed to three different hospitals in the past 24 hours. Fauci/Gates/Soros’ publicists suddenly got busy.

This is a stupid story for stupid people, who would believe that they would make a traumatic gunshot person wait on someone with the flue....if they believe that, they are mentally deficient.

Hmmm I guess the definition of “rural Oklahoma” is pretty broad then if a city of 402,000 like Tulsa is classified as “rural”.

So maybe when The Rolling Stone is forced to print a retraction and correct the record some of their readers may become curious about the truth about ivermectin and look into and the price of the horse dewormer will increase another 50 cents?

I am glad I a well stocked.

I have to laugh at just how transparently faunlet the propaganda has gotten. I use to have to do bunch of research to unspin the lies. Now you can read the story and spot the nonsense

Oklahomans are not that dumb. Most would know how to research and determine the appropriate dosage. I don’t believe this.

You simply do NOT consume the entire tube of paste or contents of the vile.

“Message from the administration of Northeastern Health System - Sequoyah: Although Dr. Jason McElyea is not an employee of NHS Sequoyah, he is affiliated with a medical staffing group that provides coverage for our emergency room. With that said, Dr. McElyea has not worked at our Sallisaw location in over 2 months. NHS Sequoyah has not treated any patients due to complications related to taking ivermectin. This includes not treating any patients for ivermectin overdose. All patients who have visited our emergency room have received medical attention as appropriate. Our hospital has not had to turn away any patients seeking emergency care. We want to reassure our community that our staff is working hard to provide quality healthcare to all patients. We appreciate the opportunity to clarify this issue and as always, we value our community’s support.

this was posted on the Yahoo version of this article (which is garbage)

“According to Nhs Sequoya, Dr McElyea, the source for this story, Dr McElyea has never treated an ivermectin overdose. And their hospital has had zero problems with such overdoses or even usual wait times in the ER. Seems at odds with the article.”

As usual RollingStone is just one toke over the line.

Surely you remember all those news stories about rural Oklahomans choking on toothpaste. I don’t even want to talk about the Prep-H incidents.

Dr. Jason, it is called triage. Learn it, know it, practice it. Or, learn to code.

I took a big dose of it (horse version) just last night. It caused me no issues at all.
