But when the big podcast host Joe Rogan announced that he was using ivermectin as part of a cocktail to treat his COVID infection, things really went crazy.Media reprint Make headlines It is claimed that he took a drug for animals, and therefore called him an anti-vaccine.
At that time, a story about a rural Oklahoma hospital went viral on the Internet. According to the doctor who allegedly worked there, the hospital was overwhelmed by an overdose of ivermectin and was unable to treat shooting victims.

After that, a full-scale implosion occurred. The hospital involved not only issued a complete statement, but also changed its Internet homepage to reflect the correction of the false report.
This story is a top-to-bottom lie, invented from start to finish based on the local hospital system. The hospital claimed that the so-called doctor had not worked in their hospital for several months and had not treated anyone for an “overdose” of ivermectin. https://t.co/HlYlPBVrYJ pic.twitter.com/ux4MHsofdu

The lies are so shameless that the hospital system in question changed the homepage just to resolve the baseless claims. https://t.co/5fc1zt2Gfx

Although I don’t have a strong opinion on ivermectin, I just want to point out how similar it is to false claims about hydroxychloroquine. The scripts we have seen recently are almost exactly the same. It was first claimed that the drug is suitable for animals, but in fact it is not. It then claims that large amounts of rubes were used in excess when they were not available. Finally, never admit your mistakes and continue to the next hysteria.
Finally, it turns out that hydroxychloroquine actually has a certain effect on COVID, especially when taken in the early stages.Research has Now showing This is real. However, in the past year, there have been a lot of media reports on this drug, which may cause the death of tens of thousands of people in the process.
But because the media is biased and so obsessed with politics rather than health, they run the same script again. Now, to be clear, I don’t know if Ivermectin is any good for COVID. There is anecdotal evidence of this effect, but we need to wait for actual research on this matter. In any case, the behavior of the media is absolutely rubbish again. The news industry and its army of tweeting and applauding should never be trusted. This is double the health problem.
