Thank you for mentioning the ivermectin poison-control statistic incorrectly reported by MSDH, specifically Drs. Thomas Dobbs (state health officer) and Paul Byers (state epidemiologist).

In mid-July, Dobbs claimed that 12 Mississippi children were in the intensive care unit at the children's hospital, including 10 children on life support, which was trumpeted all over as fact. It was actually 7 children in ICU with 2 on life support. He of course blamed the hospital for giving him incorrect numbers, and then the matter was quietly dropped.

Of the six "COVID deaths" in under-18s in Mississippi, five are MIS-C, meaning they may not have had COVID at all, but only been around someone who did. Dobbs is even counting an MIS death in an 18-20 year-old as "pediatric," because "MIS is a pediatric illness."

But we're supposed to ignore the fact that Dobbs' son Wyn, a medical student at George Washington University, worked on GW’s Moderna COVID-19 vaccine trial. No conflict of interest there, right?
