One of the biggest Ivermectin studies out there withdrawn - appears “just totally faked”. This heavily iundermines the already sketchy meta-analysis that IVM evangleists like to pump up too.
Nice work @MelissaLDavey @GidMK

Tbh, hard disagree. It should not be a student who was assigned this paper by chance in his masters degree finding what could be the most consequential scientific frauds of our time. That's a pretty massive indictment of our current processes!

We know peer review is deeply flawed. Better to be found than not. Good for the student, and the instructor teaching their students how to do it properly.

Definitely agree! But we as a community need to pay people to do this so it isn't some (brilliant) student finding stuff like this in their spare time, with no real protection from their institution if it all goes badly
