In a ballyhooed press conference, New Mexico Human Services Secretary Dr. David Scrase, the state's top health chief, announced New Mexico's first ivermectin "Overdose," soon adding a second fatality allegedly from "Ivermectin toxicity."
Scrase backpedaled on December 1 in a little-noticed online press briefing and only after we pressed his agency to provide evidence for its claims of so-called "Ivermectin deaths." Officials had repeatedly said they were awaiting a toxicology report on the cattleman's death.
Emails we obtained from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control show that an influential August 26 national health alert on ivermectin was spurred, like the FDA tweet, by a sliver of evidence: just three cases of alleged ivermectin side effects, two involving animal formulations.
Others in the family also used Ivomec, a liquid formulation of ivermectin for cattle, since news spread of ivermectin's effectiveness against covid.
At the very next press briefing, Dr. Scrase announced that a "Reliable source" reported the state's "First death" from someone who took ivermectin.
Five days after that, a headline in The Hill trumpeted, "New Mexico reports two deaths from ivermectin."
While Scrase has acknowledged that the two deaths were from covid, not ivermectin, he nonetheless announced what he called yet a "Third" ivermectin death at his December 1 briefing.
