Regardless of the issue, the press is dissatisfied with Rubis in the Skybridge Country.
With all the controversial and conflicting information, let alone the “evolving” standards of government agencies, in all pandemic hysteria, one thing is consistent-the press always Claim it knows better than others. In all accusative conversations about dangerous anti-vax individuals and sources providing so-called misinformation, it is very convenient for reporters to be able to get rid of the label of dangerous sources.
Therefore, it then proceeds to the next step-when the fingers are pointed and people are accused of ignorance, these fingers are often held out by members of the media. The latest example involves the controversial ivermectin treatment. This prestigious drug has been explored as a potential drug to help alleviate COVID symptoms, but the media is surging. People can buy this product at the farm supply store counter as an antiparasitic drug on the farm. animal.
In the latest case of purely elite derogation, in the Washington Post, Catherine Lampel caught a hyped headline and published a contemptuous derogation.
At least 70% of recent appeals for poison control in Mississippi are related to the ingestion of livestock or animal preparations of ivermectin purchased by livestock supply centers. https://t.co/JkWVVkYVNL

So a lot of clarification is needed. First, to give you an idea of Lampel’s position, just a few days ago, she was still trying to explain it by blaming Joe Biden’s disastrous Afghanistan policy on Fox News. Yes serious. However, although the tweet is not provocative on the surface, the connection and meaning are too obvious. This is just a reduction of the hype that people scrambled to buy fish tank cleaners last year, because the main ingredient is hydroxychloroquine touted by President Trump.
Rampell’s story links to It is quoted that in Mississippi, there has been a surge in poison control phone cases involving people taking drugs for animals. This feels a convenient narrative framework for reporters. Just like last year’s goldfish poisoning incident, when we were told that there was a surge in calls for poison control, this was the result of media reports. No figures are given to show how common this situation is, just the percentage of calls. However, it is possible to show a reliable data point-a measurable case.
According to the health alert from the State Department of Health, the number of hospitalizations caused by people choosing to take drugs for livestock has soared to one.
The alert said, “No cases of hospitalization due to ivermectin poisoning were reported directly to the Mississippi Poison Control Center or the Mississippi Department of Health.” However, MSDH reiterated to Mississippi Free Press reporter Nick Juding today that they have confirmed at least one cause. Ivermectin was poisoned and hospitalized, but he has not reported directly to the department.
This is not exactly an example of a widespread health emergency surrounding an outbreak of hypothetical misinformation. But please note that the media is willing to use this as the main example of a public health problem. If you notice how many people are hospitalized after vaccination, you will be accused of spreading misinformation and creating hysteria during vaccination, which is quite convincing-but hype about someone’s absurd decision to be hospitalized alone It is considered sound public health science.
What is particularly irritating here is that there is a common way of thinking in this country that stunted thinkers rush to grain and feed stores to buy cattle derivatives of ivermectin. Now, please note that this is almost exactly the same as the accusation against people who oppose the vaccine. This means that the media is saying that people who are too stupid to follow the vaccination advice are also too stupid to follow the advice to take cow medicine. This is not completely connected.
This will only continue to further confound the waters of COVID treatment. Although no one would recommend that you take drugs purchased from Petsmart, the case of ivermectin is just another case in the ongoing politicization of the pandemic.This drug-used in humans-is touted in certain circles as an adjunct therapy to help, sometimes After government research and reviewBut it was reported last month that a preliminary study on the benefits of treatment was withdrawn, which would only lead to more politicization.
notes The Guardian Regarding the questioned research:
After a major study showing that the treatment is effective against the virus was withdrawn due to “ethical issues”, the efficacy of a drug promoted by right-wingers around the world for the treatment of Covid-19 has been seriously questioned.
This just highlights a problem we have been dealing with for more than a year.We were told to follow the advice of science and doctors. This research on ivermectin was conducted by medical experts, but now this research is being questioned and it has been reduced to Right-wing figure.
Two months ago, citing this medical source was acceptable, but today it has become a sign of political hackers and anti-science. Increasing the number of people hospitalized after vaccination may make you flagged for spreading anti-vaccine information, but it is considered reasonable news to emphasize what becomes a hospitalization rather than stupid self-treatment livestock treatment.
As long as the approval of the medical committee is obtained today, it is enough to start taking some headache medicine.
