Rolling Stone Issues 'Update' After Horse Dewormer Hit-Piece Debunked

Tyler Durden's Photo

Sunday, Sep 05, 2021 - 12:26 PM

Update (1155ET): Rolling Stone has issued an 'update,' not a
correction, or a retraction, by appending the hospital's statement to
the top of the article.

That's the same reason the hard-core Dem Party media loyalists, led
as usual by [52]@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:[53]https://t.co/lzAXAHKrfN
— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) [54]September 5, 2021

The fact that [55]@Twitter can't bother to ban people who spread
this lie shows what a joke their war on misinformation is.

— Pradheep J. Shanker (@Neoavatara) [57]September 5, 2021

Just to be clear, Rolling Stone called Rogan a "conspiracy
theorist," in a story that turned out to be completely fabricated
disinformation. [58]https://t.co/l7sWuiRqhW

After Joe Rogan announced that he'd [60]kicked Covid in just a few days
using a cocktail of drugs, including Ivermectin - an anti-parasitic
prescribed for humans for over 35 years, with over 4 billion doses
administered (and most recently as a [61]Covid-19 treatment), the left
quickly started mocking Rogan for having taken a 'horse dewormer' due
to its dual use in livestock.

Rolling Stone's [62]Jon Blistein led the charge:

On Friday, [63]Rolling Stone's [64]Peter Wade took another stab -
publishing a hit piece claiming that Oklahoma ERs were overflowing with
people 'overdosing on horse dewormer.'

It was suspect from the beginning.

The report, sourced to local Oaklahoma outlet [65]KFOR's [66]Katelyn
Ogle, cites Oklahoma ER doctor Dr. Jason McElyea - who claimed that
people overdosing on ivermectin horse dewormer are causing emergency
rooms to be "so backed up that gunshot victims were having hard times
getting" access to health facilities.

As people take the drug, McElyea said patients have arrived at
hospitals with negative reactions like nausea, vomiting, muscle aches,
and cramping — or even loss of sight.

“The scariest one that I’ve heard of and seen is people coming in with
vision loss,” the doctor said. -Rolling Stone

Except, the article provided zero evidence for McElyea's claims,
causing people to start asking questions.

Good stock photo though: gun shot victims standing in line at the
hospital while wearing winter coates in August. Total horse shit.
— Dave Collum (@DavidBCollum) [67]September 4, 2021

And while neither KFOR or Rolling Stone mention the hospital McElyea
worked for, NHS Sequoyah, located in Sallisaw, Oklahoma - just issued a
statement disavowing McElyea's claims, which pops up when you [68]visit
their website.

It reads:

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.

What about the rest of the state?

According to Scott Schaeffer, managing director of the Oklahoma Center
for Poison and Drug Information, "Since the beginning of May, we’ve
received reports of 11 people being exposed to ivermectin," he told the
[69]NY Daily News (which still pushed the 'ivermectin overdoses' story
despite this fact).

Meanwhile, this horseshit story has also been picked up by the far-left
[70]Business Insider and [71]The Independent, as well as [72]The
Guardian, among other notable outlets.

Nobody even bothered to call the hospital where this guy claims to
work. [73]https://t.co/rCbgcvOoOa [74]pic.twitter.com/wXjncinhQX
— jimtreacher.substack.com (@jtLOL) [75]September 4, 2021

If Rolling Stone had only called the hospital to verify. Shocking.
— R. W. Evans (@RealAngelof) [76]September 5, 2021

And of course, the story was breathlessly parroted:

McElyea is also listed as working at [77]Integris Grove Hospital in
Grove, OK as a general family practitioner - not in the ER. A phone
call to them provided no insight as to any ivermectin overdoses,
however the gentleman who answered the phone sounded quite amused.
What's more, Grove, OK - with a population of 7,129, had just [78]14
aggravated assaults in all of 2019 according to the FBI's latest data.
We somehow doubt that 'gunshot victims were lining up outside the ER,'
while just 11 ivermectin related hospital cases have been reported in
the entire state since the beginning of May.
