Lack of Media Contrition or Correction for Oklahoma Ivermectin Hoax Proves They’re Preying on Universal Ignorance

The Oklahoma Ivermectin overdose story was perfect. It highlighted dumb Americans properly represented in MAGA-Country-Oklahoma taking “horse dewormer” instead of listening to their coastal betters about the almighty vaccines. It’s no wonder every mainstream media outlet picked it up at least once with many of them hammering it over and over again.

Our readers are well aware that it was a bald-faced lie. All of it. Instead of lines out the door in emergency rooms because of idiotic hillbillies slurping paste, it turned out the hospital in question has seen ZERO Ivermectin overdose cases. One would think this type of bombshell reversal in narrative would warrant universal corrections and even apologies from those who disseminated the lies. One would be wrong.

There have been no major “fact-check” sites to announce KFOR, Rolling Stone, or anyone else deserves the label of “Pants on Fire.” We scanned through nearly four dozen mainstream media articles on the topic. Three had issued corrections at the top. Four issued corrections at the bottom of their stories. Most have not been corrected at all.

In case there are still some of our readers who were away from the news for Labor Day weekend, here’s the breakdown of what happened according to Didi Rankovich from Reclaim the Net:

Big Tech’s Censorship of Ivermectin Stories Depend on Who’s Sharing It

An anti-ivermectin story has been debunked but hasn’t been censored online.

The use of the drug Ivermectin to treat COVID has been one of the long-time targets of censorship both on social media and by large corporate outlets, some of whom are not stopping there, but also resort to publishing fake news and misinformation about this type of treatment.

Earlier in the pandemic. saga, the narrative around Ivermectin and several other medications has been that they doesn’t really work as a cure for COVID and therefore should not be used or recommended; the root of this “Ivermectin scare” was also accused of being largely political, because it was pushed by media outlets opposed to Donald Trump, who in turn promoted the drug.

But now Ivermectin has been portrayed as the cause for mass overdosing in Oklahoma in a story published by The Rolling Stone – which turned out to be completely false.

The magazine managed to make the article viral by citing rural doctor Jason McElyea as telling local media that Covid patients were “overdosing” on Ivermectin, putting a great burden on the hospitals in Oklahoma, and causing other patients not to receive timely treatment.

McElyea even said that the situation with Ivermectin use was so bad those patients – some of whom he said had vision loss – were getting prioritized in emergency rooms even over gunshot victims.

The story found fertile ground in all the expected places, The Rolling Stone being one of them, but also on MSNBC, with the network’s anchors such as firebrand Rachel Maddow, as well as on Newsweek, The Guardian, etc who often preach about “misinformation” being shared online.

But the Northeastern Hospital System that McElyea is associated with issued a statement exposing the claims made by the doctor, and carried by these outlets, as false.

“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 spelled it out, adding also that non-Covid patients are not being neglected and are receiving appropriate care.

It appears that in the world of corporate journalism today, updates are the new retractions – so The Rolling Stone added the statement to its fake news story, and called this an “update.”

It remains to be seen how other media outlets who picked up the quotes intend to deal with their mistake, if they do at all, and whether Big Tech platforms will come along with their usual “misinformation” labels they always use to only silence narratives that go against their preferred agenda.

This Will Be Swept Under the Anti-Ivermectin Rug

I appreciate Didi giving mainstream media the benefit of the doubt. Maybe after Labor Day they’ll declare that it was all a hoax and apologize to their readers, viewers, and social media fans. If they do, it’ll be a perfect example of modern American propaganda at work. Tell a lie to millions, then explain the retraction to thousands.

But let’s be real here. There will be no major contrition. They will not highlight the fact that they got this story so very wrong and relied on a single source in order to prove their point. The story was simply too juicy for them to pass on, and that’s the best-case-scenario. The worst-case-scenario, which likely applies to many of the outlets that picked up the story, is that they are very well aware that it was a lie when they tried to verify it but decided to run with it anyway. Everyone else was, so there was no risk to whatever remnant of journalistic credibility they think they have left.

Freelance commentator Drew Holden did an excellent job of accumulating some of the most egregious examples of news outlets and Blue Checkmarks spreading the lies:

First, for context, here’s the original piece from @RollingStone and the follow up from the actual hospital saying the story was BS and that the one (one!) person the story quotes doesn’t work at that hospital anymore (and hasn’t in months). pic.twitter.com/6k4FjaQWD3

But the real champion of this tall tale was @MSNBC. @maddow had a tweet about it that went viral.

She’s got an audience of millions of people and couldn’t be bothered to even look into a story that pretty obviously doesn’t pass the sniff test. pic.twitter.com/t6sFrXDzrt

We even had an executive producer from MSNBC push the story that wasn’t. @laurenpeikoff

You know what’s a good way to not be derisively referred to as “fake news”?

I just really don’t understand why seemingly real news outlets – like @Newsweek @NYDailyNews and @thehill – didn’t bother to even look into this story before they pushed this narrative?

Didn’t it sound odd? Wasn’t it worth investigating? Maybe a single phone call? pic.twitter.com/ONStIZL87I

This sentiment was pretty widespread because it just fit the narrative perfectly – “look at these dumb hicks and their horse medication!” right, @dabeard? pic.twitter.com/rLpox5yuK0

And plenty of actual bad actors got involved in pushing this one, too. I don’t know how @DrEricDing hasn’t been kicked off of Twitter by now. He’s a bottomless well of misinformation. pic.twitter.com/8FA6ABNTTu

It should go without saying, but inventing a narrative out of thin air simply because it confirms your priors is not going to help rebuild trust in the media.

It would’ve taken a single phone call to shoot this story down.

Why didn’t that happen?

— Drew Holden (@DrewHolden360) September 5, 2021

You won’t hear any. Because this is the acceptable type of political lie.

And none of these people or outlets will learn anything. They’ll keep doing this.

Because they care more about scoring cheap dunks on their opponents than getting the truth.

— Drew Holden (@DrewHolden360) September 5, 2021

Okay a few points given some questions.

First, have seen folks say the response was just a random OK hospital. That isn’t true. It’s the hospital the doc quoted is publicly affiliated with. If he’s referring to another one, that would be a detail worth including/verifying. pic.twitter.com/kkwFz031yK

And third, for those asking, I do have a Patreon profile. If you want to throw me a few bucks for the beer fund to help massage my sanity from staring at these kinds of bad takes takes all day, link is here: https://t.co/p0Y0nJkjEc

One last Tweet added late, but with an important update on Rolling Stone:

Latest “update” from @RollingStone completely shreds the premise of the original piece.

There is More Evidence Ivermectin Works than the Vaccines

This is not my standard attempt to dissuade people from getting jabbed. The only reason I bring it up is because Ivermectin and other treatments represent one of the biggest roadblocks in they way of the powers-that-be and their goal of universal vaccination. It’s important to understand this as they continue to hammer us with pressure and lies.

The MATH+ Protocols, along with others, have demonstrated extreme efficacy compared to the symptom mitigation properties of the so-called “vaccines.” We are constantly hounded with calls for us to “follow the science,” but there is more definitive scientific evidence about Ivermectin as a part of effective treatments for Covid-19 than there is about the vaccines.

That’s not to say more science has been applied to Ivermectin. It’s to say that the results from Ivermectin treatments are approaching indisputable status, which is why the powers-that-be fear it so much. They NEED to gaslight people with claims that Ivermectin is simply a “horse dewormer.” They NEED to make as many people believe that it’s dangerous and to prevent as many people as possible from being aware that Ivermectin paste for horses is NOT human-prescribed Ivermectin which has been around for years.

Whether you’re into conspiracies or not, you have to admit the unhinged attempts to use propaganda and suppression to keep people focused solely on vaccines and their coming booster shots is suspicious. Lest we forget, the profits for Ivermectin are infinitesimal compared to the profits for vaccines. If you trust Big Pharma and their puppets in government, hospitals, media, and academia, then perhaps you should continue to think there are so many people overdosing on horse dewormer that gunshot victims are being turned away.

If you’re reading this, either you already knew about the hoax or you just learned about it. Do not think for a moment that your family and peers are aware. Make sure they not only know the hoax happened but why. This is all about gaslighting everyone into not only getting vaccinated, but getting the upcoming boosters. Today, one is “fully-vaccinated” after two shots. Tomorrow, they’ll need three. Then four. Then they’ll need to prove they’ve received a booster in the last eight months. Then six. They quarterly. Then monthly. We need to spread the truth as widely as possible.

Here’s the saddest part about the whole Oklahoma Ivermectin overdose hoax. There are millions of Americans who still believe the story and think that anti-vaxxers are the ignorant ones. The irony is thicker than mud.

Plandemic, Voter Fraud, Afghanistan: All Parts of The Great Reset

If you still consider “conspiracy theorist” to be a pejorative, you’re not paying enough attention.

What do Covid-19, 2020 (and beyond) election fraud, and our disastrous abandoning of American citizens in Afghanistan have to do with one another? They’re all parts of the globalist plan to usher in a new era of Neo-Marxism in a depopulated world. This is The Great Reset unfolding before our eyes, and the only way we can stop it (other than through constant prayer) is to stand together and spread the truth.

Covid-19’s attachment to The Great Reset is obvious, though we continue to post about it daily. Voter fraud is a bit less obvious but nonetheless easy to recognize when we understand that people like Joe Biden, Justin Trudeau, and Emmanuel Macron are pushing to “Build Back Better” under the precepts of Neo-Marxism.

The Afghanistan betrayal in August, 2021, is harder to associate with The Great Reset, but it’s definitely just as attached. We can see this is the unwillingness of the Biden regime to extend the deadline to withdraw despite American lives put clearly in harm’s way. We can see it in the needlessly abandoned military equipment that was conspicuously left intact; disabling a Black Hawk takes minutes but they were given to the Taliban in pristine working condition. Then, there’s the pallets of hundred dollar bills left for them. If you think all of this was just irresponsible governance, you probably think Barack Obama is out of politics, too.

Weakening America’s standing in the world and empowering the Chinese Communist Party and others to engage fully with our enemies in a globalist cabal are beneficial to the architects of The Great Reset, and both happened in one fell swoop in August.

These truths need to be spread. As a conservative network of news outlets, we are swimming upstream against the forces of mainstream media. We are getting canceled across the board by Big Tech. We will continue to spread the truth to millions, but we desperately need help to spread the truth to a wider range of people. This is where you come in.

The best way you can help us grow and continue to bring proper news and opinions to the people is by donating. We appreciate everything, whether a dollar or $10,000. Anything brings us closer to a point of stability when we can hire writers, editors, and support staff to make the America First message louder. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal or Bitcoin as well. Bitcoin: 3A1ELVhGgrwrypwTJhPwnaTVGmuqyQrMB8

Our network is currently comprised of nine sites:

• NOQ Report
• Conservative Playlist
• Truth. Based. Media.
• Freedom First Network
• Based Underground
• Uncanceled News
• American Conservative Movement
• Conservative Playbook
• Our Gold Guy

We are also building partnerships with great conservative sites like The Liberty Daily and The Epoch Times to advance the message as loudly as possible, and we’re always looking for others with which to partner.

Also, we could use contributions of content. If you write or want to start writing and you share our patriotic, conservative, America First ideology, contact us. The contact form on this and all pages on the site goes directly to me.

Some of our content is spread across multiple sites. Other pieces of content are unique. We write most of what we post but we also draw from those willing to allow us to share their quality articles, videos, and podcasts. We collect the best content from fellow conservative sites that give us permission to republish them. We’re not ego-driven; I’d much rather post a properly attributed story written by experts like Dr. Joseph Mercola or Natural News than rewrite it like so many outlets like to do. We’re not here to take credit. We’re here to spread the truth.

While donations are the best way to help, you can also support us by buying through our sponsors:

• MyPillow: Use promo code “NOQ” to get up to 66% off AND you’ll be helping a patriotic, America First company.
• Freedom Phone: Use promo code “MAGA” and get $50 off AND you’ll be helping a patriotic, America First company.
• OurGoldGuy: Tell them we sent you in your request to buy gold and it will help us… AND (wait for it) you’ll be helping a patriotic, America First company.

We know we could make a lot more money if we sold out like so many “conservative” publications out there. You won’t find Google ads on our site for a reason. Yes, they’re lucrative, but I don’t like getting paid by minions of Satan (I don’t like Google very much if you couldn’t tell).

Time is short. As the world spirals towards The Great Reset, the need for truthful journalism has never been greater. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report and the other sites in the network going. Our promise is this: We will never sell out America. If that means we’re going to struggle for a while or even indefinitely, so be it. Integrity first. Truth first. America first.

Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
