Patients overdosing on ivermectin backing up rural Oklahoma hospitals, ambulances

This is the type of over-the-top fake news that fuels the anti-vax crowd.  They know they are being lied to.

The crazy thing is some of the highly educated people here on TI seem to have fallen for it.

Editor?s note:  Since this story was published, it has garnered national attention.  Our material was gathered from two events. On August 31st, the ?Healthier Oklahoma Coalition? held a news conference with six doctors speaking to the media. One of those physicians, Dr. Jason McElyea, spoke about health care facilities being ?backed up? with patients who were suffering from complications after taking Ivermectin. The next day, Dr. McElyea conducted a one-on-one interview with KFOR, repeating the information about facilities being ?backed up?.  At no point was Dr. McElyea referring to every hospital in the state of Oklahoma, and our reporting did not make that claim.

Representatives from two different Oklahoma healthcare organizations confirmed to KFOR their facilities are experiencing a sudden increase in the number of patients suffering negative side effects as a result of over-using Ivermectin.  One of the healthcare groups, which confirmed the increase, is Integris Health Systems.  They?ve since told us they prefer the term ?congested? as opposed to ?backed up?, to describe the current situation.

KFOR-TV will continue to follow the studies that are currently investigating whether Ivermectin is an effective treatment or preventative agent against COVID.  KFOR-TV?s reporting regarding the pandemic, proper COVID-19 safety precautions, and effective treatment protocols has been fact-based, accurate, thorough, and consistent.

In other words, they stand by what the two organizations doctors said.
 
fromhttps://www.infectiousdiseaseadviso...al-activity-reduced-covid19-transmission/[/i]<snip>At baseline, the mean Ct value was 24.2 and 22.4 among patients in the ivermectin and placebo groups included in the per protocol analysis (n=89), respectively. With the exception of significantly different mean Ct values between patients in the ivermectin vs placebo groups at days 2 (28.8 vs 23.9; P =.02) and 14 (37.6 vs 33.1; P =.02), no other significant group differences in mean Ct values were noted between baseline and day 14.

Although more patients who received ivermectin tested negative for SARS-CoV-2 infection at days 4 through 10 compared with those who received placebo, this increase was significant only at days 6 (odds ratio [OR], 2.62; 95% CI, 1.09-6.31; P =.03) and 8 (OR, 3.32; 95% CI, 1.25-8.82; P =.01).<snip>


 
I still can't believe people thought that was a reasonable thing to do, but then again a lot of people are more willing to listen to some idiot of facebook than actually listen to medical professionals.

Also depends on the "medical professional". :)
