In afraid of the NIH getting into the position of being made to review every red herring they get thrown their way.

If the doctors pushing
#Ivermectin think it's so great for#COVID19, they should submit grant applications to the appropriate Institute at@NIH, like everyone else, and let the study section review them and assign priority scores, just like everyone else.3 replies 0 retweets 3 likes -

Are you clinical? Two of my kids, a nephew, a brother in law, and a sister are physicians. 2 are ER, 2 are FP, and the lucky one is neuro. Four of them are exhausted and there's no way they are doing submissions right now. Please be real right now

I mean. I can name similar levels of doctors. There are dozens of valid clinical trials happening right now. Because some people, the people on the front lines, don't normally run these trials.

I'm confused. You agreed with me. Which means there's no reason we should vote their fatigue as a reason we're not getting more trials.

Seemed to me that Gorski was blaming clinicals for not pushing it through the NIH

Nah. That's a misinterpretation. He was saying that they have other responsibilities and the overlap isn't there like it seems it should be to laypeople.

“I’m too busy treating patients to do a proper clinical trial” is the oldest excuse of quacks for not having any data for what they do. When the “clinicals” promoting
#Ivermectin use that excuse they give off very strong quack vibes.3 replies 3 retweets 40 likes -

I’m not saying that they are all quacks (although some of them definitely are) but rather that their invoking that excuse makes them sound like quacks.

Moreover, some of them, apparently, have time to run substandard clinical trials and publish them to a preprint server despite being so busy. So I don’t always buy their protestations of being too busy.

Basically, if you have time and resources to do a substandard clinical trial, with all the paperwork and IRB applications needed, you very likely have time to set up a proper clinical trial. So why not do it?

I mean, if you really are an adherent of evidence-based medicine, why sound and look like a quack when you don’t have to? I just don’t get it.
