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
I am still not talking about the results. I am talking about whether it is an ethical study design to do what they did. I do not believe it is. Had they done more things, maybe it would have been, but they do not appear to have done so. As such, it looks, to me, negligent.
That's just meaningless. Either you think that the results should replicate - i.e. ivermectin should have a benefit even if it is 3 days etc - or you don't. If you discard Together for this reason, but not Niaee, then your objection is nonsense
*Negligent* is a moral judgement, but unless you honestly believe that there is a reason that ivermectin in the same doses/timings would show a benefit in one trial but not another, the results stand and your weird objections can be ignored
