There also may have been profit motivations behind those pushing for #Hydroxychloroquine Some businesses were able to sell stockpiles of the medication to states like Oklahoma w/ taxpayers ending up footing the pill, as I described previously herehttps://www.forbes.com/sites/brucelee/2021/03/06/who-recommends-against-hydroxychloroquine-to-prevent-covid-19-oklahoma-is-stuck-with-piles-of-it/ …

Worth noting that this paper cites several retracted pieces of research, at least one fraudulent, and has an entire section dedicated to the single worst ecological trial I've ever seen. Not useful as evidence!

The Elgazzar paper has been retracted due to concerns about fraud. This has also caused the Hill et al meta-analysis to be retracted and it is currently being revised

Here is the Hill et al SRMA that was retracted. It is still listed on the C19ivermectin site. Not sure if it is sill part of their summary info graphic.https://retractionwatch.com/2021/08/10/ivermectin-meta-analysis-to-be-retracted-revised-say-authors/ …

I have spoken to Dr. Hill and their team is currently revising the conclusions entirely. The new MA will likely be quite similar in conclusion to Cochrane

Thank you for sharing this additional information. A SRMA is only as good as the primary studies included. I've taught about GIGO many times (garbage-in, garbage-out). Each study needs to be critically evaluated for its validity. Using a standardized tool can help.pic.twitter.com/Evb0uloesa

Definitely. I think it is unfortunate for Dr. Hill, because he and his team took pains to personally contact each author and confirm details about the trials. That they were conned is more about our reliance on trust in science than it is about their work

And our trust is being eroded daily, what with so many journals succumbing to corruption, as well as researchers, politicians & 'health' bureaucrats.

Your first and only citation used retracted, fraudulent research as a large part of its argument
