Fake news article picked up by biased news outlets who did no fact checking.  Multiple sources covering this:

1. The great Ivermectin deworming hoax – The Burning Platform
2. The great Ivermectin deworming hoax | Columnists | thedesertreview.com
3. Rolling Stone BUSTED with hoax story claiming Oklahoma hospitals are filled with ivermectin-damaged patients – NaturalNews.com
4. The Media Fell for a Viral Hoax About Ivermectin Overdoses Straining Rural Hospitals – Reason.com  9/6/21
5. Mainstream media reports about ivermectin hospitalizations found to be fake news – LifeSite (lifesitenews.com)  9/7/21

Here are a few of the screaming headlines from multiple news outlets who ran with the fake news:

• Gunshot Victims Left Waiting as Horse Dewormer Overdoses Overwhelm Oklahoma Hospitals, Doctor Says -Rolling Stone
• Gunshot victims left to wait as Oklahoma hospitals overwhelmed with horse dewormer overdoses, doctor says -Fox59  (Funny that similarity, almost like the same guy wrote those headlines?)
• Overdoses from anti-parasite drug ivermectin overwhelm rural Oklahoma hospitals – leaving gunshot victims waiting for emergency rooms -Daily Mail
• Doctor says gunshot victims forced to wait for treatment as Oklahoma hospitals fill up with people overdosing from ivermectin -Independent

This is yet another example of the mainstream media lazily circulating a narrative that flatters the worldview of the liberal audience, without bothering to check on any of the details.

The Associated Press also recently reported that 70 percent of calls to Mississippi’s poison hotline were from people who had taken ivermectin. This was an error: The actual figure was 2 percent.
