I believe that what the author intends is that death > hospitalization > etc. It sounds like you want to throw symptom vs. symptom into that classification? If so, that's an argument for computing a p-value by a different definition of the criteria, not the the author...

...not that the author was not true to their intended interpretation of the criteria. So, go ahead and compute the new p-value. It's still extremely small, right?

So, we have a bunch of different p-values using different algorithms, and they're all tiny. What does that tell us?

That infact, no - the science is not 'set' on this matter, and all information can be used to 'prove' some point?

In general, given an infinitely large set of p-values that are all correct to some interpretation, I'd generally want to use critical thinking to narrow to a group of them until they were consistent enough to convince me.

Replying to @EduEngineer @jojohill1974 and
In this case, they're all already grouped at "extremely statistically significant", so I don't have to go any further unless we find out that dozens of them were entirely flawed in a way that cannot result in any recomputation, or so many flip in result upon re-analysis.

Eh? Most of the included studies had statistically insignificant primary results, the only reason that they appear to be significant on this webpage is that the authors simply cherry-pick whichever result suits the narrative

Your words here are gobbledy-gook. "Statistical significance" of the results is not part of the inclusion-exclusion criteria, and there's not a reason it should be. The man who created all these methods (Fisher) performed similar analyses.

I'm not talking about the terrible inclusion criteria, and I have no idea why you keep bringing up Fisher it's bizarre

Because he's using inclusion-exclusion criteria the way that Fischer did when he wrote his book introducing inferential statistics to the world. You're complaining that the inventor of the entire field did it wrong, which is kind of insane.

Please point me to the paper/book Fisher wrote about ivermectin for COVID-19
