Rolling Stone Issues 'Update' After Horse Dewormer Hit-Piece Debunked

[Zero] Update (1155ET): Rolling Stone has issued an 'update,' not a correction, or a retraction, by appending the hospital's statement to the top of the article.

After Joe Rogan announced that he'd kicked Covid in just a few days using a cocktail of drugs, including Ivermectin - an anti-parasitic prescribed for humans for over 35 years, with over 4 billion doses administered (and most recently as a Covid-19 treatment), the left quickly started mocking Rogan for having taken a 'horse dewormer' due to its dual use in livestock.

Rolling Stone's Jon Blistein led the charge:

On Friday, Rolling Stone's Peter Wade took another stab - publishing a hit piece claiming that Oklahoma ERs were overflowing with people 'overdosing on horse dewormer.'

It was suspect from the beginning.

The report, sourced to local Oaklahoma outlet KFOR's Katelyn Ogle, cites Oklahoma ER doctor Dr. Jason McElyea - who claimed that people overdosing on ivermectin horse dewormer are causing emergency rooms to be "so backed up that gunshot victims were having hard times getting" access to health facilities.

#1 What we have here is a what I call the flocking effect. When one horse kicks and bucks then runs madly the others follow. It is an insanity as infectious as any cold virus. Pass the popcorn. The show must go on. A new power play toy to play with. Then for as long as people have interest in the game.

#2 If Rolling Stones is your news source, you may have other problems as well.

#3 I don't see how Rolling Stone has any legal liability this time.

Unfortunately.

#5 Rachael Madcow was almost gleeful when "reporting" this. Have yet to read of a retraction from it despiye her assertion that she fact checks everything.

#6 even the most credulous would be suspicious of the accompanying photo showing people standing in line in heavy coats in presumably August.
but the dimwits got their next 'trumpsters are injecting bleach!' story and that's all that matters

#9 C'mon, man. No one reads the Stone for the facts - they read it for the sexy pictures of Boston Marathon bombers.

#13 Note how inbred the media can be:
