    AP corrects article claiming 70 percent of calls to Mississippi Poison Control were about ivermectin ingestion

    AP is worse than CNN or MSNBC for fake news. We need to mock and ridicule anyone who posts this kind of clear disinformation.

    In an article published Aug. 23 about patients taking livestock medicine to try to treat the coronavirus, the Associated Press admitted it "erroneously reported" based on information provided by the Mississippi Department of Health that 70 percent of recent calls to the Mississippi Poison Control Center were from residents who had ingested the ivermectin version meant for animals.
    The Associated Press updated the story on Aug. 25, entitled "Livestock medicine doesn't work against COVID, doctors warn," to correct that the number of calls to poison control about ivermectin was about 2 percent. Incorrect information provided by the Mississippi Department of Health had said the number was 70 percent, the Associated Press noted at the end of the report.

      How in TF do you go from misrepresenting a simple number like 2 as 70?!

        Fewer people are killed with all rifles each year (323 in 2011) than with shotguns (356), hammers and clubs (496), and hands and feet (728).
