    One thing that the ivermectin meta-analysis war is showing quite well is how even quite minor tweaks to your protocol can completely change the outcomes of reviews

        Minor tweaks causing findings to change doesn't fill me with confidence. We were taught to conduct sensitivity analyses in grad school.

        Valid point. isn't it the same with vaccines. Would Love to understand the allowed induction done in the vaccine studies. first Pfizer study. 2 groups, each around 14000. Res.: placebo 8 got covid, vaccinated 1 got covid, 95% efficacy. 28000 people! At the end, 9 people decide.

        Numbers might be wrong, but I hope you get the idea. :-)

        Isn’t this why sensitivity analyses are done? In this case if minor tweaks see-saw conclusions doesn’t that show that even if it’s a positive effect it’s only a small one?

        This just shows why it’s important to discuss nuance in these studies. Unlike how it’s claimed that there is “irrefutable evidence for IVM working” as per @PierreKory

        I'm interested, may I ask what are you describing as the 'war'? can you please elaborate re: your comment about tweaks to trial protocols? is there a specific example?
