Rolling Stone runs fake Ivermectin poisoning story.

The story claimed an Oklahoma hospital was being overwhelmed with patients poisoned by the horse application of Ivermectin --- so overwhelmed that they were unable to treat gunshot victims.

The hospital issued a statement after the story ran, saying both claims were falsehoods --- they hadn't treated a single patient for Ivermectin poisoning, and they were not overwhelmed with patients, and were able to treat anyone who needed care.

They said the single doctor Rolling Stone relied upon for the story was a contractor at the hospital, and hadn't worked a shift there in two months.

Hospital's statement:

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.

Gunshot Victims Left Waiting as Horse Dewormer Overdoses Overwhelm Oklahoma Hospitals, Doctor Says.

“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,” Dr. Jason McElyea said.

The good thing is that it's so provably false that they did nothing but discredit themselves yet further, if that's possible.

So why would the left want ivermection to be discredited? People should die to uphold a fake narrative?

@ggreenwald
The only reason Rolling Stone is calling this an "UPDATE" as opposed to what it so plainly is -- a RETRACTION -- is because liberal outlets know that their readers don't care at all if they publish fake news as long as it's done with the right political motives and goals.

That's the same reason the hard-core Dem Party media loyalists, led as usual by
@Maddow
, spread this fake story all over based on what appears to be a fraudulent source without checking. Fake News is 100% acceptable if done with good political motives:

Holy shift even the photo was fake

You'd think they would at least have one of those babealicious FSB colonel honey traps instead of a grote, gross lesbian for their Tokyo Rose.

Seems like NHS Sequoyah could sue Rolling Stone for slander - as Rolling Stone lied about the hospital turning away gunshot patients.

Way to squander whatever reputation for "Gonzo Journalism" you may have had left over from better times, Rolling Stone!

Speaking of reputation, I'd like to see the time when my right wing friends get equally mad at ALL instances of fake news, instead of just selectively when "Other side appears more successful at it in this specific case!" The entire Neocon agenda was sold through headlines that were unsupported or contradicted by their own body text. Don't downplay the significance of this.

A long time ago yes, but with less dire consequences for US citizens, it was mainly warmongering such as !saddam! taking babies out of the feeder and wmd and shit

Hol' up there bud. Don't forget the Patriot Act, the TSA, and the DHS. Rank and file Republicans eagerly traded freedom for security theater, and sanctimoniously told "the libs" who were the only ones at the time standing actively against these, "What me worry? I'm not a terrorist!" I didn't know all the people in Patnet back then, but in a couple of large and dominantly conservative online spaces I've interacted with hundreds of the same individuals since the early W administration. Their current mindsets and behavior mirror that of populations of current conservatives and Trump supporters I've gotten to know in parallel in the meantime. This is one of the reasons I'm so stridently against "sportsball team politics" as practiced in America this century. Because last century's lessons in how to manipulate masses by creating an "other" to project all blame onto allowing tyrants free rein seem to have been lost upon modern conservatives.

Rolling Stone doesn't have any credibility:

Doesn't anybody remember that? Sabrina Rubin Erdely is a real piece of work too. Her earlier work railroaded a priest into prison for child rape, for which he was most likely innocent. That was Father Charles Engelhardt - who died in prison.

Journalists are fucking scum today. There's precious few real journalists. What they really are is slanderers, libelers, and propagandists.

And, now for something completey different in American psychosis to change the pace for a bit. Sorry about bad tube, Pat: Worried about Covid. Just go to to one of these rallies for psychic release:

The days of biting social critique by the likes of Thompson, Kunstler, Wolfe, O'Roarke, Taibbe et al is DECADES in the rearview mirror. It turned into an "entertainment" rag and only assumed some pretension of political commentary again when the Penske scion bought it with his papa's money. It was accused of pro-Trump bias for a minute because old man Penske is a Republican Money Man.

The "divide and conquer" thing does seem to still be rolling along, yes.
