(1)I had a really enjoyable and spirited conversation with @GidMK . We see eye to eye on some things, and disagree about others. Yet were able to carry on a pleasant and productive discussion. The dude is a good faith actor who knows his shit and is committed to scientific rigor.

IMO his conclusions suggest bad faith. Although it is possible that the combination between his bias and the lack of rigor lead him to notice only what confirms by his beliefs.

You seem to be suggesting that anyone who disagrees with you is either incompetent or acting in bad faith, which is a fascinating position to hold

I'm not suggesting anything about other people. I'm saying you are ignoring information, and this could be leading your POV This isn't incompetence.

"By all indications, the use of ivermectin in Peru was widespread in EVERY region, not just the 'maximal' one" False Up until Feb 2021 almost 70% never taken IVM in Peruhttps://twitter.com/jjchamie/status/1365856703917531136?s=20 …

J Chamie @jjchamieReplying to @RangerReo @CundillScottyRecent national survey in Peru - Feb 2021 Have used or are using ivermectin as a prevention or treatment for COVID-19?

Surveys are often fraught with biases, but I'd say that pretty much shows the opposite of your point - 30% of the ENTIRE COUNTRY took ivermectin? 24% as a prophylactic? The govt only provided, what, 1-2mil doses - that's at least 7mil people self-dosing!

For reference, that would mean that in an 8-month period a higher % of people in Peru took ivermectin than take statins yearly in the United States. That's one of the most widespread uses of any drugs ever

Are you aware of your bias? Your old supporting arguments keep changing as they fall apart.

Eh? This is entirely consistent with a situation where there was mass widespread use for some time both before and after the drop in cases. Unless you have some measure of how many people were ACTUALLY TAKING THE DRUG over time, the analysis makes no sense

It wasn't mass widespread. The media lied about toxicity, the drug wasn't available. Your assumptions are wrong and unfunded. Local mass distribution campaigns to vulnerable population happened and dramatic drops in deaths happened too.

Your own evidence that you cited indicates it was mass and widespread. As I've said, 30% of the entire population of a mid-sized country taking a drug in 8 months is a HUGE proportion
