By now, you’ve probably heard about Rolling Stone’s recent exposé on gunshot victims taking a distant backseat to horse dewormer ODs at Oklahoma hospitals.

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow was also very disturbed by stories of Oklahoma hospitals being overrun with horse-dewormer-happy patients.
“Patients overdosing on ivermectin backing up rural Oklahoma hospitals, ambulances”

These stories turned out to be textbook Fake News, of course. Who could’ve seen that coming, other than absolutely everyone?
One hospital is denying an Oklahoma doctor’s claim that ERs are delaying care for gunshot victims due to overdoses of ivermectin, a drug being falsely peddled as a covid treatment. https://t.co/urdpKFKlqE

We rather enjoyed his take on the horse dewormer horse-puckey, and we think you will, too:

God bless our brave Rolling Stone reporters on the ground in Oklahoma, risking assault rifle-toting horses, COVID tornados, and murderous Sturgis bikers all hopped up on dewormers and meth to bring us the news

Get ’em, Dave. Get ’em.
At any point did a single editor at this publication stop and think, hmmm, this seems maybe just a bit too much on the nosehttps://t.co/NSKjbICIEz

Nope. Some things are just too good to check.
