    Today I decided to look at some of the terrible observational studies on ivermectin that I've mostly ignored, and wow So far, one with Cohen's d of 2, another with d of 2.9 These are just...gibberish

        In one study, every single person in the ivermectin group got better immediately, and every person in the control got much, much worse. In another, 100% of the ivermectin group stayed in hospital for a shorter amount of time than the control

        These studies are just so wildly implausible that it's hard to understand why no one has raised these questions before. Either a single ivermectin pill entirely cures COVID or there's something fishy there

        We've found definite fraud in the RCTs and larger observational trials, but I think it's worth noting that there is a very high probability that there are many more fraudulent studies in the mix as well. We simply do not have time to check every single one

        What would be the motivation for fraud?

        To get papers published. I doubt most of them thought they would get more than a cursory review. But a paper is a paper. It just so happens that ivermectin became a big deal, so they did get a second look. Let’s face it, no one found it until there was a reason to look.

        Have you reviewed other papers from these authors to see if this is a trend or a one off?

        These are all different authors, but I think both of these papers are at very high risk for fraud. Numerous red flags - one doesn't even report having ethics!

        You’re working though this list of Ivermectin studies? Why don’t you catalog the flaws in each of these studies? That would be a great service to the public!https://c19ivermectin.com
