Wendy posted (as is tradition) her BS board and (as is tradition) someone must've reported her to the FB factcheckers because this is what happened:
Aw, Wendy. Did this happen to you again?
What could you be doing that flags the fact checkers so frequently?
Well
if you were to hit that
See Why
button you'd, y'know, see why:
Does the government's Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) provide data or reports that prove the COVID-19 vaccine or other vaccines have caused injuries or deaths? No, that's not true: As the VAERS webpage itself repeatedly explains, its purpose is to collect a wide-open, likely repetitive, messy and incomplete list of anyone's anecdotal, amateur, professional and even malicious reports of post-vaccination problems.
But let's back up abit to look at Wendy's framing.
A few days ago Rolling Stone reported:
The rise in people using ivermectin, an anti-parasitic drug usually reserved for deworming horses or livestock, as a treatment or preventative for Covid-19 has emergency rooms “so backed up that gunshot victims were having hard times getting” access to health facilities, an emergency room doctor in Oklahoma said.
This week, Dr. Jason McElyea told KFOR the overdoses are causing backlogs in rural hospitals, leaving both beds and ambulance services scarce.
“The ERs are so backed up that gunshot victims were having hard times getting to facilities where they can get definitive care and be treated,” McElyea said.
Well, they got fact-checked and had to issue an update, which was placed between the head line and the text I just quoted you:
Update: One hospital has denied Dr. Jason McElyea’s claim that ivermectin overdoses are causing emergency room backlogs and delays in medical care in rural Oklahoma, and Rolling Stone has been unable to independently verify any such cases as of the time of this update. The National Poison Data System states there were 459 reported cases of ivermectin overdose in the United States in August. Oklahoma-specific ivermectin overdose figures are not available, but the count is unlikely to be a significant factor in hospital bed availability in a state that, per the CDC, currently has a 7-day average of 1,528 Covid-19 hospitalizations. The doctor is affiliated with a medical staffing group that serves multiple hospitals in Oklahoma. Following widespread publication of his statements, one hospital that the doctor’s group serves, NHS Sequoyah, said its ER has not treated any ivermectin overdoses and that it has not had to turn away anyone seeking care. This and other hospitals that the doctor’s group serves did not respond to requests for comment and the doctor has not responded to requests for further comment. We will update if we receive more information.
See that, Wendy? When they make a mistake (and it looks like they did) they
correct themselves. In public. On the same platoform where they blundered. The
more mistakes they make the less credibility they have. If the mistakes go
uncorrected, it's even more so.
There's a lesson here, isn't there? For you, Wendy. A lesson for you to learn. Just to be clear.
Here's the rest of Wendy's BS board:
You'll note on the bottom of the BS there's Wendy's habitual misuse of the VAERS data. This is one reason why she keeps getting snagged by the FB fact-checkers.
Wendy is using, as a source, Openvaers.com.
We've
danced this dance before, haven't we? There's that pesky disclaimer about how the data isn't
verified, and "cannot be used to determine if a vaccine caused or contributed
to an adverse event or illness" and so on.
Remember that,
Wendy?
Openvaers even gives you the disclaimer:
If you were to click on that, Wendy, you'd find:
HHS VAERS Disclaimer
VAERS accepts reports of adverse events and reactions that occur following vaccination. Healthcare providers, vaccine manufacturers, and the public can submit reports to the system. While very important in monitoring vaccine safety, VAERS reports alone cannot be used to determine if a vaccine caused or contributed to an adverse event or illness. The reports may contain information that is incomplete, inaccurate, coincidental, or unverifiable. In large part, reports to VAERS are voluntary, which means they are subject to biases. This creates specific limitations on how the data can be used scientifically. Data from VAERS reports should always be interpreted with these limitations in mind.
Wendy, why aren't you posting that on your BS Board?
Doesn't your fanbase deserve to know that the data you're presenting to them as solid "cannot be used to determine if
a vaccine caused or contributed to an adverse event or illness" as "the reports
may contain information that is incomplete, inaccurate, coincidental, or
unverifiable?"
Aren't you lying to them by omitting this information?
When will we be seeing your online correction about all of your mistakes/hoaxes/blunders?
