      The #Ivermectin cultists continue to exude a very #Hydroxychloroquine vibe. Again, as I said with HCQ I'd love to be shown to be wrong and have Ivermectin demonstrated to be highly effective against #COVID19, but these early super-inflated claims sound a lot like those for HCQ.https://twitter.com/badlandj/status/1336295043364253697 …

      (not that there aren't a boatload of antivax quacks out there, but not treating using ivermectin triple therapy AT LEAST until a vaccine has been proven out is irresponsible at best, out right negligent more likely

      Meanwhile, existing data for #Ivermectin are less than impressive thus far. We'll see. I can wait (and so should everyone else, given the #Hydroxychloroquine debacle) for proper randomized clinical trials to be published.

      It's likely to be the same as HCQ+ diehards, who then insisted it be trialed with zinc, IV Vit C, various other putatively adjunctive therapies, at a different stage of illness, and/or as prophy.https://twitter.com/kfunk937/status/1313448679102181378 …

      I’m looking forward to something similar on ivermectin, which I suspect will be similarly anaemic. Believe it or not, the HCQ diehards are now promoting ivermectin *and* HCQ (usually, w zinc, b/c Zev) as a "guaranteed one-two punch." Sigh

      They're already doing it. I notice that the "RCTs" they cite as positive almost all involve other drugs administered with #Ivermectin that muddy the waters and make interpretation of RCT results impossible.

      Ah but that Kory guys critical care group says: “Under The Research Challenge we explain how the protocol was developed and why we could not ethically conduct placebo-based RCTs.” So definitely can’t believe their data nor their understanding of ethics.

      So, same justification as Pr Raoult, Zev & crew? Let's just throw the kitchen sink at it, b/c not to do *something* feels wrong. Even when the *something* is implausible, and we won't be able to tell if it works, b/c we're simultaneously doing a lot of other *something*s.

      As I was Tweeting yesterday, yes, #Ivermectin cultists are making EXACTLY the same arguments now that #Hydroxychloroquine cultists had started making in March.https://twitter.com/gorskon/status/1336306758567014400 …

      See what I mean about #Ivermectin being the new #Hydroxychloroquine? He's making EXACTLY the same argument HCQ cultists made February through June. How did that work out? Maybe #Ivermectin will work out better, but HCQ showed the danger of bypassing RCTs, even in a pandemic. https://twitter.com/badlandj/status/1336306106474373122 …
