They used the same ivermectin regimen, and other regimen changes were similar between groups. Like I said, if your critique made any sense, it would apply equally to these other RCTs

What I said about the Together trial is that it is (1) irresponsible to give people just 3 doses of IVM and nothing more, especially (2) given the state of knowledge in 2021. Neither of these critiques apply to the Niaee trial as far as I can see. What am I missing?

Actually, what you said was 3 doses several days after symptom onset, monitored for 28 days. Which is *precisely* what Niaee did in two arms, with one arm getting only *one* dose of ivermectin at a lower dosagepic.twitter.com/ERmUk2ZujY

Which wouldn't account for differences between arms. Do you understand how randomized trials work?

You seem to think I'm criticizing the results. I am actually criticizing the fact that the protocol, as described, appears to be negligent.

Nonsense. It is clearly based on the best evidence - a study THAT USED THE SAME PROTOCOL found a 70% mortality benefit

One more time, I believe, given the current state of knowledge, that giving people *only* 3 doses of IVM and nothing more, several days after symptom onset, is negligent. How does this relate to the Niaee trial?

Because they did the same thing, and it prevented 70% of mortality. Do you not think that results should replicate, or is your comment entirely meaningless?

They didn't do the same thing, though. And they didn't know as much then.

They did the same thing with regards to ivermectin. And knowledge has nothing to do with whether you believe results should replicate or not
