      For those interested, the number of very likely fraudulent ivermectin studies showing a huge benefit has shot up from 1 a few weeks ago to 5 now I suspect there's more to come 😬

      Can you name them please? So far I've seen strong criticisms of Elgazzar, Carvallo, and Niaee. Are these the ones you're referring to? And which others?

      People have been linking me to this ecological analysis of ivermectin for COVID-19 from Peru Long story short - I don't see much meaning to this preprint at all, certainly not that ivermectin is effective 1/n pic.twitter.com/m9MDJc97vt

      Nope that's not fraud, all the data is publicly available. It's just not a useful analysis of public data

      Could you please name the five then? I have been pro-ivermectin, but I respect your work.

      Not going public with all of them until we can prove that they never happened. News should drop on the first one in the next week or so tho, that one I think is basically proven

      You really should have waited. This is irresponsible.

      If there are valid critiques, or even reasons for suspicion, I want to hear them. I want to remove what is problematic and assess what is left. But you are impugning a whole body of literature by hundreds of authors, without making specific accusations. This is problematic.

      Not at all. There are studies that I've publicly noted are well conducted. Many of the researchers shared their data, which is a very good sign

          I will say, the fact that some groups have uncritically accepted any studies that show some benefit for ivermectin as definitely true is, I think, going to come back to bite them as a number of those studies probably never happened

          Don't you see the replies to your post? They are mocking people who believe in science and want to give ivermectin a chance. You are slandering the whole literature in this way, when there are specific studies (which you won't name) which are problematic.

          We've named one, and I've talked for weeks about how astonishingly low quality much of the research base is. Fraud is a specific accusation, but relying on most of the studies that I've talked negatively about would be a terrible decision either way
