      Kyle Sheldrick Retweeted BIRD Group

      The difficulty with this approach is you end up destroying the literature. There's always some new standard that /could/ have been applied once the trial gives a result you don't like. BIRD/FLCCC et al never reject "positive" trials with similar designs.https://twitter.com/BIRDGroupUK/status/1425880281618190337 …

      Kyle Sheldrick added,

      Ivermectin use for prevention and treatment of covid is widespread in Brazil. Therefore, it is surprising that the Together trial did not exclude people with exposure to ivermectin in the preceding month of the trial or concurrent use during the trial. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♂️

      These objections are also never raised *before* the results come out, when they might actually be meaningful

          if it had an effect the size they're hyping, we absolutely would have seen it in the trial, it would not be hard to detect

          Gideon, did you raise methodological objections to the Ivermectin trials you critiqued before the results came out?

          Didn't the author already update the protocol once several months ago based on feedback from other? Seems like he was pretty willing to entertain legitimate objections.

          Come on. I've seen so many similar criticisms of the Oxford IVM protocol, before the trials started, and it's not like they changed anything. There were probably criticisms of the TOGETHER trial, too.
