The largest county in Washington, King County, is now maintaining a dashboard showing COVID outcomes by vaccination status:

Rolling Stone claimed that an Oklahoma hospital was overwhelmed by patients overdosing on the "horse dewormer" Ivermectin.* The big MSM outlets picked it up without "fact checking". The hospital called them out. Note the image of "gunshot victims" waiting in line to be seen. Also note what they are wearing, even though it is apparently sweltering in OK right now. As usual though, the story spread like wildfire, and the correction is practically hidden. This will end up being a "fact" in historical documentation.

* It appears that this "horse dewormer" has been used by billions of humans. Likely more human use than horse use.

Well it just HAD to be true those rubes in flyover country are just idiots, right?

Also this story is debunked but you will see it repeated thousands of times by fact by the same idiots who will claim anything you say isn’t true.

There is no reasoning with shitlibs.

Gee, this doesn't at all sound like something a prison warden would say:

From Monday, fully vaccinated residents in NSW will be granted some additional freedoms, such as one extra hour of outdoor exercises.

This morning, one of our patients told us he was the manager of the local Coastal Farm and Ranch, which has 19 locations in the PNW.  He said that ivermectin now has prolonged shipping times in the supply chain, and all of the stores now have to keep it behind the counter since it was being shoplifted frequently.  Interesting.

They are expanding liberty Ben, a more inclusive freedom

If somebody is thinking about going that route I would check out options with this group before using the off the shelf veterinary stuff.

DeSelby will be checking in from Camp Happy Friends to give us an update on all the new liberties that the Aussies can look forward to enjoying.

He will only have 15 minutes to chat with us though because his allowance on the community computer takes in mind that "too much freedom is licentiousness", so 15 minutes.

Hopefully, he'll be back home soon if he works hard enough. He's been told "work sets you free" so he is buckling down in his position of official camp resident representative of the government, working hard.

Indeed, If you want to try Ivermectin, getting a properly formulated Human anti-parasitic is better than horse (or sheep) dewormer.


ETA: That sounded snarkier than I meant it to.  I am not hating on folks that want to try Ivermectin.  Dosed properly it's unlikely to hurt you , and may help you get over COVID.  I might hate a little on folks that think veterinary medicines are interchangeable with human medicines just based on active ingredients though.

Are any Dem governors signing emergency orders banning Ivermectin yet like they did HCQ?

But a judge did overturn the order to give ivermectin to a patient in the hospital:  https://arstechnica.com/science/2021/09/forced-use-of-horse-dewormer-on-covid-patient-overturned-by-ohio-judge/

Are your er's over run with people that ODed on ivermectin and your gunshot victims waiting in the parking lot wearing their winter coats like happened in Oklahoma last week?

In my continuing Quixoteian saga of calling out disinformation on both sides, that headline is a lie.  Horse dewormer was not prescribed, nor was it administered to Mr. Smith.

IMO, anytime the term "horse dewormer" is used in a headline, the article is propaganda and not worth reading.

Pfizer, Merck launch new trials of oral COVID-19 drugs

Anyone know much about this.  Curious if any of these are similar to existing drugs. 

Merck said in June that the U.S. government agreed to pay about $1.2 billion for 1.7 million courses of molnupiravir, if it is proven to work and authorized by regulators. The company said it expected to file for U.S. emergency use authorization of molnupiravir in the second half of 2021 at the earliest.

Pfizer said in July if the PF-07321332 trial was successful, it would file for a potential emergency use authorization in the fourth quarter.

Why would the US Govt buy a bunch of doses?

Immune System Criticized As Anti-Science

Growsky continued, “How can we expect the human body to keep track of every microbe it’s ever killed, and know how to kill it again quickly if it ever returns? It is as nonsensical as it sounds.”

The CDC no longer recommends worrying about your physical fitness level, eating a well-balanced diet, or taking vitamins as these are only important if you trust your immune system.

Nice to know the traditional annual medical warnings are still around.  Makes one think we might get back to normal one day.

I see a number of people talking about this that it shows Fauci lied to Congress.  I doubt anything will come of it.

Such a pessimist. I'm sure Congress will do the right thing, and apologize for asking Fauci questions he didn't want to answer.

So on that Oklahoma fake news about Ivermectin ODs making gunshot victims wait in line? An actual reporter asked the Sheriff in the county in question about it. He said they have had exactly one gunshot victim all year this year. Getting LE stats might have been one of the first things Rolling Stone might have wanted to try, if they were journalismers.
