    However I categorize myself is more or less irrelevant since I do not have viewers and/or readers numbering in the millions who consider what I write based on credible facts. For what it's worth most of what I do write is probably more credible than the tripe from Wayne Allyn Root and Tucker Carlson, both of whom are rather gifted at appealing to their willfully ignorant viewers and readers and especially in the case of Carlson have earned a not so small fortune doing so.
    By the way a reminder.
    Fox News won a court case by 'persuasively' arguing that no 'reasonable viewer' takes Tucker Carlson seriously
    As far as Root is concerned, this is also telling.

    Rolling Stone forced to issue an 'update' after viral hospital ivermectin story turns out to be false | Fox News

    On Friday, the liberal magazine published testimony from Dr. Jason McElyea who told a local news station that hospitals were being overrun from patients overdosing on ivermectin which resulted in other patients waiting for treatment. McElyea claimed the situation was so bad that gunshot victims were being neglected.

    "The ERs are so backed up that gunshot victims were having hard times getting to facilities where they can get definitive care and be treated," McElyea said.
    Fellow MSNBC left-wing anchor Joy Reid also promoted the story during her show on Friday, repeating McElyea's claims.

    "An emergency in one rural Oklahoma town is being overwhelmed by people overdosing on ivermectin, the horse deworming medication. It's gotten so bad that gunshot victims, gunshot victims are having to wait to be treated," she said.

    The story was also shared by New York Daily News, Newsweek, The Guardian, and Insider.

    However, the Northeastern Hospital System, which McElyea works for, issued a statement regarding his association with the hospitals reported in the story. The NHS revealed while McElyea "is affiliated" with a medial staffing group, he has not worked at the location in question for 2 months nor has he treated any ivermectin overdoses.

    "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," the statement reads.

    "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."

    Joe Rogan Says He's COVID-Free After Medical Cocktail

    Days after confirming he had contracted COVID-19, podcaster and comedian Joe Rogan revealed that he had tested negative.

    Rogan shared a photo of his negative test result on Instagram, writing, “[T]ested negative today! Thanks for all the kind wishes!”

    Rogan had confirmed earlier in the week that he had contracted the virus and that “[W]e immediately threw the kitchen sink at it. All kinds of meds. Monoclonal antibodies, ivermectin, Z-pak, prednisone, everything. And I also got an anti-D drip and a vitamin drip.”

    A few phone calls from Rolling Stone to ERs would have been the minimum they should have done before publishing the story. They wouldn’t even do that.

    The picture they used of gunshot victims waiting in line at an emergency room was obviously dishonest.

    So, he received a monoclonal anti-body treatments, and it worked. I wonder why he was so eager to take those lab-created, RFID tagged synthetic molecules into his system??? Weird. Regardless, I have now logged into DARPANET and have found his personal tracking code. So, well done Joe!!

    I had the Pfizer vaccine in March. Mild headache after the 2nd shot.

    FIL got Moderna and died 2 days after the 2nd shot. With his health issues, not sure it was a good idea to get a shot that put stress on his body. He didn’t check with a doctor before getting the vaccine.

    Father got the Pfizer shot. He passed away in July. Doctors in the ICU don’t know what triggered his breathing issues. Never had any breathing problems before.

    Can you post some examples of Fox News ever posting a correction of a wrong story?

    Yeah this is bizarre. He was hesitant to put unknown vaccine in his body. Said if you were young and healthy no worries. Then tests positives and decides to pour a half dozen meds into his body, some with EUA authorization only.

    For sure should check with the doctor before getting the vaccine. There are some people who have issues that should not get them.

    other than the ivermictin, that is a pretty standard treatment.

    It actually suggests either his doctors have no clue what they are doing, or he was ill for much longer than admitted to and/or is just lying.

    You do not give prednisone with MABs. MABs are given during the viral replication phase. Pushing a steroid that suppresses the immune system and works counter to your viral treatment makes zero sense. You do push steroids in week #2, or the inflammatory phase. At no point do you ever give anti-biotics for a virus unless a secondary bacterial infection is confirmed.

    Either this guy is lying (likely) or his doctors are uneducated idiots (also possible).

    Why would one refuse an "experimental vaccine" but accept "experimental monoclonal antibodies"?
