14.5/n Is the study fraud? We may never know. It is really, really hard to prove anything in cases like these, and unless the authors go public we might never know what actually happened beyond the issues that we've seen so far

25/n Anyway, the TL:DR is that the largest study to date of ivermectin for COVID-19, which found a HUGE benefit for the drug, has just been retracted amid very serious concerns about plagiarism and fraud This will echo in the scientific community for years to come

26/n While it is still certainly possible that ivermectin works for COVID-19, this has made a huge dent in that possibility. I await the large studies that are currently being conducted, because we really have no good evidence to rely on

I think anyone of repute assumed it was garbage based on Bayesian pre-study odds reflecting the biases of the smaller studies. The folks treating with ivermectin were the same wishful folks using HCQ, Vitamin C, zinc, etc.
