      That's just the same nonsense as in that weird map, but in a preprint. There's no actual measure of ivermectin use, data quality, etc, just an ecological comparison between some countries that do and don't have endemic parasites

      It's amazing to me that U & comrades don't require the same level of scrutiny for the mRNA vaccines.U take the companies word for much of the science.Dr Byram Briddle foi'd the @pfizer rat studies from Japan & was appaled to see how widely disseminated the vax was. But you're 👏

      Replying to @JoanieOC @TheSGEM and

      That's nonsensical and completely off-topic. I do indeed put exactly the same effort into reviewing vaccine studies, but we're talking about ivermectin here

      However I see nothing about that on your home twitter page, but you have a pinned tweet denigrating Ivermectin.🧐

      I have a pinned tweet looking at a single study that appears to have been at least partially fraudulent

      There are caveats to the methodology, as it is observational, but I cannot see any red flags for scientific fraud. A reasonably good study with some limitations

      Replying to @GidMK @TheSGEM and

      One of the limitations being the study funders, of course. Which brings me to this. Why are you not using your real name on Twitter? You have 3 times as many followers as your institution, so you must be a rock star, but an anonymous one? Why so?

      I'm not anonymous, I link to my Guardian profile on my page. And funding is *not* a limitation, that is to do with systemic bias rather than within-study issues

      That link goes to the Guardian, but has nothing related to you that I can see.

      Replying to @JoanieOC @TheSGEM and

      It goes to my author bio in the Guardian. Anyway, this is so off topic from ivermectin that I have to imagine you have no real interest in whether it works as a treatment so I will bid you adieu

          lol, an anonymous account that has no link claiming that a Twitter-verified account with a link is anonymous
