Another ivermectin story and false reports; this time by AP

Dated: September 6, 2021 by Sharyl Attkisson 18 Comments

      

  • AP reported 70% of poison calls in Mississippi were for ivermectin. The true number is reportedly 1.4%.

Leah Willingham of the Associated Press (AP) joins Rolling Stone in having to correct an embarrassing error, as propagandists try to controversialize the medicine ivermectin to treat Covid-19.

Both news agencies have passed along widely false information as they state or imply that leagues of uninformed people across the country are poisoning themselves with ivermectin.

The AP report on August 23 falsely stated that 70% of recent calls to the Mississippi Poison Control Center were from people who had ingested ivermectin to try to treat COVID-19.

The actual number was reportedly around 2% or, as calculated by another news organization, 1.4%, not 70%.

AP says the incorrect information was provided by the Mississippi Department of Health. AP corrected its story to state that about 2% of calls were related to ivermectin and 70% of the 2% were released to the animal formulation of the drug.

Propagandists and public health officials have been trying to dissuade people from using ivermectin to treat Covid-19, although many scientists and physicians say it has proven highly effective in some people.

Ivermectin is FDA-approved in humans for other uses. Like two of the Covid-19 vaccines, ivermectin is not FDA-approved for Covid-19. However, off-label use, prescription of medicine by a doctor for other maladies is common in the U.S. and is legal.

As of Sept. 6, The Washington Post, NPR, ABC, and other media retained the false information, uncorrected, in their reporting.

    Does this surprise anyone anymore??? All of these false narratives are done to create fear or to discredit someone or something. And please note that the degenerate media have also continued in their collusion to use the strategy of publishing these false stories only to correct them after some time. This is specifically done to sow disinformation/misinformation. Other media pick it up and report it. Once they do their corrections, the story has lost its momentum and therefore no one returns to read the correction. In addition, the other media that ran with the story do not make the correction and therefore, allows for the spread of the disinformation/misinformation to continue. This is a deliberate strategy used repeatedly.

      No surprise here. It all comes down to this... "When people who are honestly mistaken learn the truth, they will either cease being mistaken, or cease being honest!" (Anonymous)

      Throughout your entire life you continually DECIDE to either stop being mistaken โ€“or stop being honestโ€“ when learning the truth. Which one of the two true answers applies to YOU in terms of the Covid-19 truth?

    Our hysterical "mass media" is a blizzard of lies, distortions, cover-ups, and delusions. They are driven to do this by those who own them. Business owners driven mainly by a desire for profits would not tolerate this destruction of public trust because it is bad for business. The owners have always pushed for leftward bias, but now, they see their goal in sight: socialist revolution. They are lunging for it like a parched man lunging for water. They have waited all their lives for this moment, and will use all their powers to seize it.

    Actually there are no approved covid19 vaccines. โ€œThe little trick that theyโ€™ve done here, is theyโ€™ve issued two separate letters for two separate vaccines. The Pfizer vaccine, which is what is currently available, is still under emergency use authorization and it still has the liability shield. Once again, the mainstream media have lied to you.

    The product thatโ€™s licensed is the BioNTech product, which is substantially similar but not necessarily identical, called Comirnaty, and itโ€™s not yet available. They havenโ€™t started manufacturing it or labeling it. And thatโ€™s the one the liability waiver will no longer apply to.

    So, the one thatโ€™s actually licensed is not yet available, and when it does become available it will no longer have the liability shield. In the interim, the one that does have the liability shield is the Pfizer product and that is what is currently available and itโ€™s still under emergency use authorization.โ€

    What this means is, if you want to get the licensed COVID shot, you have to wait. This also means that if employers demand that employees get vaccinated because thereโ€™s now a licensed COVID injection, employees should then demand to actually receive the FDA licensed Comirnaty, not the emergency use only Pfizer product that is currently being given.

    8/23/21 FDA letter. Footnote 8 states that Pfizer-BioNTech EUA vaccine and Comiranty vaccine are formula ans safety similar, but โ€œlegally distinctโ€ there are no FDA approved vaccines available only EUA shots

      "The product thatโ€™s licensed is the BioNTech product, which is substantially similar but not necessarily identical, called Comirnaty, and itโ€™s not yet available."

      Funny, I got my vaccine shot, with a product called Comirnaty. Said so right on that little sticker they took off the bottle. The "Pfizer" vaccine is just a shortcut, since we are familiar with the name Pfizer (moreso than BioNTech).

      The AstraZeneca vaccine is called "Vaxzevria" and "Covishield"

      The Moderna vaccine is called "Spikevax"

      and, big surprise here, the Chinese vaccine is not called "The Chinese Vaccine". It is called "Sinofarm" after the institute that developed it.
      And that Russian one is called "Sputnik V".

    Recalling Jefferson's words about slavery, "I tremble, when I remember that God is just," I tremble when I see the atrocities committed so brazenly by those in the media, CDC, government, etc. A lot of people have suffered and died unnecessarily due to their dishonesty and self-serving motives. That is no little crime.

      Jefferson owned over 600 slaves you dumb fucking twat. So if he was right, he's burning in hell, and if your analogy stands, look forward to dying from complications from Covid-19 due to being an unvaccinated racist

        Well, since only 0.014% of people who don't have serious pre-existing health conditions die of COVID, your desire for Andrew to die of COVID is virtually guaranteed to result in your frustration.

    Sharyl - you should note the large UK randomized clinical trial being conducted by the University of Oxford. Been going on for a few months. They have recruited over 6,000 Covid postive testers who are sick, so far.

    These journalists from main street media are corrupted to the point that they indeed to be considered the same as the journalists working for Adolf Hitler in Nazi Germany. We are living in USA and the West the same context as people lived in the 30s and the 40s in Nazi Germany. The new Jews are now the unvaccinated. Look at what is going on in Australia and Israel. Truly terrible times. People are dying and being damaged in droves. Worse now these same evil journalists are now manufacturing scientific lies to hide the crimes against humanity being committed by our evil MDs, our evil pharmaceutical companies and our totally corrupt and evil FASCIST politicians. And dont kidd yourself here. GOP or DNC are both criminal parties. And its the same in UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, France and Germany and many other countries. What is the goal of all this ? Far darker than you can imagine. It is like the Nazi program T4. Mass extermination by stealth of the old and the sick and damaging all the survivors. Each time they started the mass vaccinations the deaths and the damaged cases explode. Now imagine when criminals like BIden introduces booster shots like the fools are now doing in Israel.

    My wife and I, both in our sixties, had the worst flu of our lives in January/February of 2020.

    Many of my friends and co-workers had the same illness.

    This was before COVID-1984 had a name, and afterwards I was convinced we had both had it.

    When I gave blood in 2021 and came up positive for COVID-1984 antibodies I was even more convinced.

    But there were nagging questions in my mind:

    1. My wife tested negative for the antibodies in a rapid antibody test at a local pharmacy

    2. All my friends and co-workers who were sick at the same time test negative for the antibodies

    3. My Red Cross antibody tests for 2020 were negative

    Then I remembered that I had been sick in January of 2021 and had to work remotely for ten days after consulting with a Teledoc.

    In mid-2020 I had heard about Ivermectin and bought some on eBay and started taking it monthly.

    I identify as a 250 pound horse so it was perfectly OK for me to take it, since 250 pound men who identify as women can use the ladies' room.

    The illness was very mild and I wasn't that sick.

    It was after this illness that I started testing positive for COVID-19 antibodies, twice with the Red Cross and once with a rapid antibody test at a local pharmacy that showed IgG and IgM antibodies.

    The bottom line is that I was taking Ivermectin when I contracted COVID-1984 and it was a very mild sickness, much milder than the ordinary flu I had contracted a year earlier.

    This is my anecdotal experience with Ivermectin and the Chinese Communist Party's bioweapon virus that they used to attack every human being on the planet and are using to conquer the entire world.

      Do know that antibody tests don't necessarily detect whether you've been infected or are immune. I didn't know this until I interviewed top virologist at Ft. Detrick, Dr. John Dye. Thank you for telling about your experience.
