    Cochrane review on ivermectin just dropped. This is the current gold-standard summary: "the reliable evidence available does not support the use ivermectin for treatment or prevention of COVID‐19 outside of well‐designed randomized trials." https://www.cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD015017.pub2/full …

        Big shock horror surprise type thing...😱 Cochrane review finds Ivermectin not recommended for use outside of RCTs. Please stop using worming tablets to treat virus infections folks... @GidMK https://www.cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD015017.pub2/full …

        Worth noting that the main finding of the review is that the available evidence is very low quality, and so low certainty that the impact of ivermectin could be anything from very protective to very detrimental to health (i.e. it could be saving lives or ending them)

        Another interesting point - the Cochrane review authors addressed why their review disagrees with previous very positive studies on ivermectin. They were particularly pointed about the weird ivmmeta websitepic.twitter.com/BjTqfxf9h8

        No, it just means the evidence is crap. It could be anything from really bad to really good.

        Would anyone get ethical approval for that, especially on human subjects?
