A doctor in rural Oklahoma said the number of people overdosing on the deworming medication ivermectin was so high that emergency rooms were filled to the brim.
The situation is so dire that people with gunshot wounds have to wait their turn to get treatment, Dr. Jason McElyea, an ER physician affiliated with hospitals in Sallisaw, told KFOR, an NBC affiliate in Oklahoma City.
McElyea spoke to the channel this week about the dangers of overdosing on the version of ivermectin meant for use in livestock. He said the hospitals he worked at became overwhelmed after people started taking ivermectin, believing unverified claims that it's an effective COVID-19 treatment.
"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.

Ivermectin isn't some horse deworming drug that is not safe for humans. Why morons on CNN and the worthless media keep saying that- who knows. Maybe they want to appease the big pharma conglomerates that run ads on their shitty tv networks? That'd be my guess.
What it is however is a drug that has been used by humans for literally over 40 years & has had full FDA approval for 3 decades, is listed as an essential medicine by the WHO and has been dosed literally billions of times. It's a completely safe drug, and some studies seem to suggest that ivermectin could be a promising Covid prophylactic.
Any drug- from tylenol to percocet- take too much of it- and it'll kill your ass dead. People who are buying a related Ivermectin product that is produced and intended for horses and taking it are obviously f#kn morons as an average horse is around 1,000 pounds and some weigh up to 2,000+ pounds whereas an average US male is what 200 pounds?
My guess- ivermectin has become such a hot button topic and brilliant people like Bret Weinstein have gotten censored/in trouble talking about it on platforms like YouTube is, because: money. Say ivermectin really was effective at stopping covid in its tracks as a prophylactic. I don't claim to know one way or the other or really care to be honest with you. But just say hypothetically it did- it absolutely could disrupt the record profits the drug companies with the vaccine have been making. Ivermectin is so old and out of patent- and it's already been mined. Anybody could make a generic version and make it cheaply- there's no money in it for anyone.
Covid vaccines? Look no further than Moderna. Moderna was a dog-shit, worthless hyped up "biotech" company that had literally never made a dollar, and whose revenue in all of 2019 was $60 million. Their stock traded at $12 a share two years ago. Now? First quarter of this year Moderna did $2 billion in revenue and in the second quarter of this year they did $4.4 billion in revenue. Oh yeah, their stock is trading at $416 a share. Up only 3,500% and $400+ a share from right before covid- to now.
