MSNBC host Rachel Maddow was excoriated on social media this week after failing to delete a tweet containing false information about hospitals in Oklahoma being overrun with coronavirus patients overdosing on Ivermectin, a parasite-fighting medication that can also be sold over the counter as a veterinary drug.
Maddow was previously criticized over the Thursday tweet, along with a number of other media figures, for spreading the false story without verifying it’s authenticity after the hospital system in question denied the source’s claim that people were being treated for the overdoses.
