CNN busted for lying about "horse dewormer"

Get the vaccine. You aren't a horse.

Helix, I DID get the vaccine, m'kay? Can you and I put this particular nonsense behind us once and for all?

And being a horse has precisely zip to do with Ivermectin and it's anti-viral properties. Do you realize Ivermectin does have anti-viral properties? Or are you content merely parroting the popular meme that it's just for horses?

Do you realize Ivermectin is being prescribed to humans? Tens of thousands of humans? And despite what the FDA is saying about it - because THEY HAVE NO DATA to support their statements about Ivermectin - their statements being primarily a function of the fact that they haven't conducted or seen tests in support of its use (which is NOT cause to say it's "unsafe").

Do you realize the number of people who've been "poisoned" by overdosing on Ivermectin (probably the horse-gel product(s)) was, for the first 8 months of this year, just 1,143 (according to the National Poison Data System) - the vast majority of which were deemed not to be an issue - i.e. false alarms? It's not remotely the problem you imagine it to be.

Point is - and always has been - that we should be looking at every possible avenue of treatment for this virus that we can. If Ivermectin can help - even a little bit - we should be pursuing it as an aid in this battle; so where's your reason for dissing it all the time?

I'm glad that you got the vaccine. A lot of people didn't, and horse dewormer is an exceptionally poor substitute. The virus doesn't care about political lean or propaganda.

You cannot back that statement up with even ONE lie they have told.....

I saw their blatant lies back during the first gulf war, when I knew what happened vs. what they reported.

I could chronicle things if I wanted, but it won't change your mind. Will it. Anyone that doesn't see their lies, probably never will accept it.

There's no lie. If you dont like that they were making fun of him, that's fine. I'm not saying it was entirely appropriate but at the same time, if you are a public figure and do stupid stuff, expect to be made fun of.

I ignored no 'facts,' there was no lie. And here's the evidence: you've turned to trying to attack the poster (and failing, lol) instead of the argument.

I dont care if you agree, I dont expect you to. But tough luck snowflake Rogan...it's not like he uses kid gloves on his show. Pot meet kettle.

Which proves you know only part of the story about Ivermectin.

But good for you for not watching CNN. THAT I can applaud. 👏

Which 'part of the story' has the medical community and FDA recommending ivermectin to treat covid?
 
It seems to me that people are misunderstanding the difference between hyperbola and lying. Did Joe Rogan get Ivermectin to battle covid off label. Yes. Is Ivermectin used as a horse dewormer. Yes. Have many people actually used the horse dewormer, rather than the human formulated one.. yes. It was sarcastic, and should not have been done, because it would encourage others to actually consider taking horse dewormer.
 
I think the way they promoted Trump Russian Collusion is far more condemning than this story, but it's just another lie by the left media.

CNN didn't actually lie about anything. They characterized the drug as "horse dewormer" and it is, among other things, then said what he took, Ivermectin. if you heard the story do you know what he took? Yes, ivermectin. They put a definite mocking spin on it with the horse dewormer stuff, but I'm trying to figure out why I should care. So they spun it to make Rogan look stupid. That's life. I don't care about Rogan one way or the other, but he's a comedian - he can understand.

Exactly. I said in the other FRW hair on fire thread about this that it was slightly shady for CNN to refer to Rogan's treatment as horse dewormer and not use the proper name but it wasn't a lie. Joe Rogan ingested diluted horse dewormer.

The right media lied today!!! Tucker Carlson apparently said Mayor Pete took paternity leave to figure out how to breast feed. LIAR!!!! THAT IS NOT WHY PETE TOOK LEAVE. Carlson is a liar. Fox News caught in another LIE!

Etc....

This whole thread is about that serious. Good for a laugh though.

Why You Should Not Use Ivermectin to Treat or Prevent COVID-19

Using the Drug ivermectin to treat COVID-19 can be dangerous and even lethal. The FDA has not approved the drug for that purpose.
www.fda.gov www.fda.gov

This is like hydroxychloroquine all over again. What is it about these people that they have to refuse the consensus of established professionals and peddle products that are not recommended?
 
Cauliflower ear Joe Rogan and people shouldn't expect us to be serious FOX News is who Republicans rely on for information.

Jesus wept.

Except practically everyone who is spinning the horse dewormer nonsense is doing so as if ANYONE who takes Ivermectin is taking horse dewormer.

It's what CNN did - and heck, it's happened right here in this very thread - thanks in no small part I'm sure to CNN.
