      He seems to actually see patients, which is odd for your doctor critics.

      Maybe I'm just old (or weird, or both), but I rarely have the patience to watch YouTube videos more than a few minutes long, even when they're on subjects I'm interested in or by people I agree with.

      There are exceptions, but not many. Certainly, I'm not going to watch this video beyond the first minute or so that I bothered with...

      I skipped around and he suggested you haven’t done enough of your own research and referred to one of his other videos as “a citation”. I too am too impatient to listen to directionless babble for 30 minutes to figure out his point. How about even a thesis statement?

      His point is basically that I've criticized #Ivermectin promoters and the data they cite, especially the epidemiological data but also the RCTs (none of which have been peer reviewed yet, as far as I can tell), but haven't gone into the weeds on Twitter as to why.

      He was particularly offended when I responded to one of his requests for details with, "Be careful what you ask for..." Of course, the reason I said that is that I probably will have to do a post on SBM now, as it's too complicated a subject to handle in a Twitter thread.

      Yeah, but I did it for #Hydroxychloroquine; so I guess I now have to do it for #Ivermectin. But I'll do it when I have the time, not based on anyone hectoring me, and I probably won't have time to do it justice for a few days. #COVID19

      In the meantime, I'm strongly considering a temporary block, at least until I can Tweet a link to my post. It'll make my timeline so much less annoying for me and my Twitter followers.

      Well I’m back to ICU in the next two weeks so I’ll have to dive back into the covid lit. We have a rolling protocol so I don’t have to get too creative, but I’m frankly astonished we’re still giving remdesivir.

      As am I. Worse, #Ivermectin is doing in South America what #Hydroxychloroquine did several months ago, being used by so many people that it's making it hard to do actual clinical trials of it or any other drug for #COVID19.
