        Hay un grave error en el estudio al confundir los datos del grupo control con el brazo de ivermectina. Con los datos correctos la ivermectina ofrece una reducción en la mortalidad del 65%https://twitter.com/EarlyTreat/status/1397221960208244742?s=20 …

        In any language Ivermectiin is not for CoVid.

        I am not in favor of Ivermectin for Covid. But in the preprint there are a dozen complaints that the authors switched control and treatment arms around in one of the larger studies, invalidating their conclusion. Is there any more on this? Was a mistake really made?

        I still think that the US should have done a 1,600 patient randomized controlled study on Ivermectin start back in August. The NIH should have done a lot of large studies that they didn't do. We needed clarification and didn't get it. (See recent Nature mag about lack of RCT's)

        1/4 Of the dangers to hastily praise the "rigour" of a preprint... This meta-analysis of #ivermectin for #COVID_19 mistook the IVM & CTRL arms of one of the RCTs that it included. This study is NOT "rigorous". It contains a very basic mistake. h/t @AOlavarria https://twitter.com/nickmmark/status/1397197687762653185 … pic.twitter.com/n4w9LbfHco
