Today’s Face of the Day is famous for being a fabulist, working in conjunction with Rolling Stone magazine journalist Peter Wade in running a fake news hit job against Ivermectin.
Rolling Stone haven’t pulled the story, instead leaving up with the following admission of guilt:
UPDATE: Northeastern Hospital System Sequoyah issued a statement: Although Dr. Jason McElyea is not an employee of NHS Sequoyah, he is affiliated with a medical staffing group that provides coverage for our emergency room. With that said, Dr. McElyea has not worked at our Sallisaw location in over 2 months. NHS Sequoyah has not treated any patients due to complications related to taking ivermectin. This includes not treating any patients for ivermectin overdose. All patients who have visited our emergency room have received medical attention as appropriate. Our hospital has not had to turn away any patients seeking emergency care. We want to reassure our community that our staff is working hard to provide quality healthcare to all patients. We appreciate the opportunity to clarify this issue and as always, we value our community’s support.”

So, essentially the story is a complete fabrication, yet Rolling Stone still has it on their site, all over social media and on Peter Wade’s Twitter account. There is not even a shred of embarrassment from them.
There’s fake news and then there is just making stuff up to suit a narrative.
