      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

          Shouldn't have to, the publishing apparatus is broken. Garbage in garbage out. Incentives are wrong ofc.

          at this point I think that it's no longer just about ivermectin. There's an ongoing process that is destroying public confidence in scientific publications.

          It boggles the mind that it falls to people like you to check them. What the fuck is the point of journals anyway?

          Almost nobody shares observational. The last one that was popularly shared was the one published in CHEST. Then It was mainly about RCT and mechanism of actions.

          Why are there so many fraudulent Ivermectin studies? I know fraud sometimes happens. But this seems like an extraordinary amount.

          I kind of feel that these poorly uncontrolled drug trials from no-name institutions should be thought of like VAERS: good for looking for a signal to test, but not for answering questions about it, and likely to be misused by ideologues.
