      How many of these studies are double blind, placebo-controlled randomized clinical trials? I bet I know the answer. And the #Ivermectin believers wonder why I'm getting a distinctly #Hydroxychloroquine vibe from them.https://twitter.com/flores_lanza/status/1335992078640222210 …

      As was the case for #Hydroxychloroquine , I'd be happy to be wrong about #Ivermectin, but the overselling of the drug without RCTs leads me to suspect that my skepticism is likely more than warranted.

          Exactly what I was thinking. Mechanism proposed seems very flimsy too.

          Yeah, at least the mechanism proposed for #Hydroxychloroquine (immune suppression ameliorating the inflammatory reaction) was semi-plausible.

          Ivermectin can be quite toxic...any antiviral has to work in the first part of illness when most people are mild. So I’m very skeptical

          On the other hand my dog takes it as a heartwork preventative so maybe that’s why she didn’t get COVID when we did (kidding kidding)

          And initial studies statistically skew to the positive. It’s the Ginko-biloba effect🤨

          Have we yet seen a good trial on the early/prophylactic use of hydroxychloroquine? I stopped reading the debunkings as they all focused on in-patient administration instead of the more interesting intervention
