Rolling Stone magazine has been called out for publishing an inaccurate story Saturday about hospitals in Oklahoma being overrun by Ivermectin overdoses.
The Rolling Stone story reported that the number of Ivermectin drug overdoses have so overwhelmed hospitals that gunshot victims have been unable to get medical treatment. Ivermectin is an anti-parasitic drug that has a human version but is more commonly used for deworming livestock.
In an interview with local Southeastern Oklahoma station KFOR, a rural Oklahoma physician Dr. Jason McElyea spread many of the same falsehoods.
“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.“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 Dr. McElyea. “If there’s no ambulance to take the call, there’s no ambulance to come to the call.”
In response to that interview and the Rolling Stone piece, the Northeastern Health System (NHS) – Sequoyah released a statement claiming Dr. Jason McElyea “is not an employee of NHS Sequoyah”, he also hasn’t worked at that hospital in over two months nor have they treated any patients for Ivermectin overdoses.

Fact checking is sooooooooo 20th century.
Blows holes?!
The guy LIED.
And the enemedia could have discovered this with a phone call.
Yet chose not to check.
Inaccurate? It was a hoax, completely made up.
Knew these stories were BS. They all had that stink of leftist propaganda.
Deep State, you’re getting desperate.
And I’m put in mind that age old observation about cornered animals....
And isn’t it interesting that the hospital took so long to issue that statement...
A LYING DOCTOR......maybe Fauci is CATCHING!
I don’t think outlets like Rolling Stone and others really care if the story is accurate or not, they are pushing a narrative to an audience that will believe it..
In addition, other media outlets took this story and repeated it causing it to spread worldwide....
Rolling Stones readership is almost exclusively liberals who accepted the story without question because it validated what they were thinking....
If anyone should look ridiculous it’s local TV station who aired the story without fact checking...they could have stopped it before it got published....
On that unforgivable hospital statement delay...
We now have a de facto NHS.
Clap for carers!
I know they don’t.
But this crap was was soooo bogus and easily debunked, that I am stuned (sic) that they went with it.
And that hospital administration ought to be fired for not issuing that statement seconds after that story made the wires.
Fact check: “This story lacks context.”
I don’t think I’ve picked up a Rolling Stone publication since like 1987. Is there anyone who really reads it anymore?
One of my favorite Frank Zappa lyrics, “OH, it must be true, I rad it in Rolling Stone...”
And they are paying “ethical” Doctors to lie and spread BS about this.
I’m starting to believe there aren’t many honorable people in that profession anymore. Nurses and the clerks have more of a soul it seems.
When you lie to push the agenda of your masters.
Just checked.
Can’t find one single enemediot outlet that ran the story that has issued a correction.
Pull his medical license.
Doctors have massive,god like,egos.
Just ask a nurse.
