      Why is this implausible? If something works, it works? Keep in mind that the creator of this drug won a Nobel prize for his discovery. That’s how much they rate this drug.https://twitter.com/gidmk/status/1439802581073596417 …

      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

      It's the magnitude of the benefit - the Cohen's d for some of the AZT for HIV studies is about 0.7-1. The difference in height between men and women has a d of 1.4. A d of 3 is quite literally bigger than any effect size ever found in a real clinical trial, ever

          There was that cancer quack a few years back claiming 100% success rate from people drinking their own piss, chelation therapy, coloidal silver, black salve and god knows what else. Related; there's big money out there for "brave doctors".https://www.statnews.com/2016/12/27/chelation-therapy-gervasio-lamas/comment-page-1/ …

          Satan’s teeth, I love this comparison (the height thing)! Have you got the reference so I can steal it for talks?

          What do you think of Uttar Pradesh? They used Ivermectin and got delta under control pretty quickly.

          Also compare Zimbabwe with South Africa. Zimbabwe adopted Ivermectin and South Africa not. Cases is Zimbabwe fell much faster.
