      🇦🇺 COVID-19 in Australia A new mystery (solved) How are deaths in Australia falling without a previous decline in cases? Clues: 1. A national ivermectin shortage. 2. Tenfold increase in importing ivermectin. 3. Shortage resolved.pic.twitter.com/fxs0sgh4Ys

      This is wrong in almost every respect. As the news story indicates, local supply of ivermectin was restricted due to over-purchase, and at the same time imports increase 10xhttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/aug/30/australian-imports-of-ivermectin-increase-10-fold-prompting-warning-from-tga …

      This happened over the course of August, not simply your arrows. Indeed, it is obvious that the intake of ivermectin increased enormously from the *start* of August

      Moreover, the deaths are currently increasing. While there were 3 days with high deaths mid-August, this was followed by a dearth of deaths immediately after. The increased use of ivermectin isn't preventing anything, it seemspic.twitter.com/rgvJ2mHTbi

      So what we clearly have is: 1. ivermectin use increase 2. deaths increase Therefore, it is clear that increased ivermectin use in this case is associated with more COVID-19 deaths

          Just thinking about ivermectin is at least 92% effective in preventing COVID.

          Re: "what we clearly have is: 1. ivermectin use increase 2. deaths increase" If @jjchamie used accurate numbers that showed that, he almost certainly would not start a Twitter thread showing that. He only showed Australia because he thought it fit his pre-determined narrative.

          Looks like both sides are doing that here. The data doesn't support anything at the granularity it's at: it can be interpreted either way. The Guardian article: conflates human and animal medications, smears the drug as right-wing etc... not scientific arguments.

          This as much a junk assertion as the original tweet.

          It’s irrational, unbelievable and embarrassing what they try to do. These ivermectiners trying to prove something that’s not possible. Keep going @GidMK thank you for yor time and patience 💖
