Not An Employee’: Hospital Blows Holes In Rolling Stone Story
Daily Caller ^

Posted on 09/05/2021 5:26:14 AM PDT by MNDude

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.

So the Dr fabricated the story and Rolling Stone never even bothered to call the hospital to verify the story. Why? Because what the doctor said fit the narrative the media wants to push.

Has Rolling Stone ever gotten anything right? The UV “rape” story. Dissing Led Zeppelin.

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.

Yeah. Apparently their audience would also believe that gunshot victims are stacking up like cordwood in rural Oklahoma.

Many people would rather hear the reassuring lie than the Inconvenient Truth. The wonder of it all is if leftists are cognizant of that belief in
reassuring lies?

...Dr. Jason McElyea “is not an employee of NHS Sequoyah”, he also hasn’t worked at that hospital in over two months...

BUT he did attend the "Joe Biden School of Successful Politickin' & Prevarication", and graduated with honors!

“Fact checking is sooooooooo 20th century.”

The term “fact checking” still exists. However, it has lost all meaning. Kind of like “civil rights.”

And isn’t it interesting that the hospital took so long to issue that statement...

Huh? They issued a statement only a few hours after the story had broke.

The BBC is weighing in on this issue too
with a smear piece 17 hours ago using the circular
reporting process to publicize the issue.
Talk about structural lying.

“This week, the influential podcast host Joe Rogan, who has dismissed vaccines, said he was taking Ivermectin after testing positive for Covid-19.”

Maybe if the government didn’t force people to resort to “back alley” Ivermectin. /s

In actuality, you would have to take a WHOLE lot of Ivermectin to overdose. Like taking the whole 1,500 lb. horse dosage. Even then, it is less toxic than the jab.
