      More potential fraud in the ivermectin literature - my new piece builds on work by @K_Sheldrick on Brazilian data that looks very strangehttps://gidmk.medium.com/is-ivermectin-for-covid-19-based-on-fraudulent-research-part-2-a4475523b4e4 …

      Sheldrick, whose work your blog is based on, is consistently more fair and precise in his coverage of Ivermectin: https://www.reddit.com/r/ivermectin/comments/omlqlx/ivermectin_research_and_fraud/ … You're a hack, Gideonpic.twitter.com/a7WYKFXHsn

      I don't think Gideon is a hack.

      I'm sure Gideon is a perfectly nice fellow, but I think the tone of his work has largely served to trivialize serious interest in a potentially useful drug He ignores well conducted RCTs that show benefit and seems more keen on participating in an already politicised narrative

      Why does he not mention the Mahmud study that you do? Or the ongoing PRINCIPLE trial? He characterizes interest in Ivermectin as being a bizarre longshot, dismisses plausible antiviral mechanisms and disingenuously says he'd love it if it worked the way he might wish on a star

      To him, Ivermectin is a bizarre fixation Trump voters have with a horse de-worming agent, and a cautionary tale of what happens when doctors all around the world engage in careless science at best, else willful fraud

      It makes for reliable clicks, but it's not science, and it's profoundly unhelpful

      I'm perfectly willing to believe that Gid is a big bag of human refuse, but honestly I don't think he is. Shame, really. Here's the crux of it: there's only so much time in the day. Seriously. There are dozens and dozens of studies, and a SCARY amount so far have been total fuck

      Also, hilariously, I have talked, written, and tweeted about Mahmud and PRINCIPLE. I think I may have actually sent Mahmud to Kyle aaaages ago as an example of a well-done trial

          Yeah, you deserve a biscuit. My point is, you're not operating according to a principle where you're supposed to present a united front about the evidence for an issue. You're supposed to BE a scientist. Not just magically be a one man Cochrane.
