      My opinion is that the evidence is not sufficient to determine a conclusion. Currently, the evidence is consistent with a potential modest benefit as well as modest harm, while the studies arguing for large benefits appear to be incredibly bad or outright fraud

      Overall, we don't disagree with the fact there is indeed some very limited quality studies. But it seems you are running wayyy behind on the litterature. What about the positive prophylaxis studies? There are some pretty decent ones out there.https://twitter.com/GabinJean3/status/1433763403093401604 …

      Un an plus tard, Health Nerd découvre que l'étude pionnière d'Hector Carvallo est effectivement de qualité assez médiocre. Peut-être qu'en 2022, il découvrira les essais de Behera https://c19ivermectin.com/behera2.html  et de Shouman https://c19ivermectin.com/shouman.html  qui confirmèrent 85% d'efficacité https://twitter.com/GidMK/status/1433555208211079171 … pic.twitter.com/cnpjy4riKo

      If you cannot see why the Behera and Shouman studies are of astonishingly low quality, I must assume you have not read them

      Lol, well Shouman had very large differences at baseline between groups, which is almost certainly because they report totally destroying their own randomisation schedule halfway through their trial. And that's just the *start*

      There are so many issues at this point I just assume people who trust these studies haven't actually read them 🤷‍♂️

      I trust the reproducibility despite the flaws. Unlike for HCQ I never saw the flaws consistently explaining the results. So I go to the most simple conclusion. I'm not seeing the baseline differences you are referring to. What I do see is the limited PCR testing.

      But much of the reproducibility au this point is almost certainly down to fraud. And the baseline differences are obvious, just look at the index cases - the p-value for the chi-squared here is very much significantpic.twitter.com/lbIjAVAKir

      I'm not sure how you infer from this that the ivermectin group was favoured by the difference in severity of the disease. If anything I would say it's the other way around, I would expect moderate disease to be most contagious. Seems far fetched this would explain results.

      That's not true, but it's also not the point. Issues in randomisation are problematic, and this is just one of many problems

          I mean, the blinding such as it was clearly failed. They appear to have almost exclusively tested people in the control group. They then included people who tested NEGATIVE in their primary outcome. They have numeric errors in the paper. It's not one problem, it's endless

          The study was never blinded. I'm looking forward to your analysis on those points you raised. My general appreciation of your work is that you raise methodological doubts but are never really able to explain the results. Fraud is not a word to be lightly thrown around. Careful.
