      This us almost exactly wrong. Meta-analyses are like computer programs: Garbage in, garbage out. You can't turn a bunch of turds into gold through meta-analysis, which is what #ivermectin advocates have tried to do.https://twitter.com/BretWeinstein/status/1415835355937312771 …

      Those who argue that large scale randomized controlled trials are the only reliable evidence in evidence based medicine have misled you. Now you can see why—large RCTs amplify systematic error in addition to signal, whereas meta-analysis amplifies signal, and corrects for error.

      Here's what I mean, @BretWeinstein. Seriously, stick to evolutionary biology. You stink at clinical research.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2021/07/16/ivermectin-is-the-new-hydroxychloroquine-take-4/ …

          David Gorski, MD, PhD Retweeted Bret Weinstein

          Wrong. As @GidMK showed, if you remove this study from the @BIRDGroupUK meta-analysis, statistical significance in the result disappears, and you have a negative meta-analysis. Again, @BretWeinstein has zero clue what he is talking about here.🙄🤦🏻‍♂️https://twitter.com/BretWeinstein/status/1415835356671348737 …

          I don’t know if the study in question is fatally flawed, or worse. But nothing rests on it. The remaining evidence points in the same direction. Can the public track the evidentiary signal through the noise of a fraud allegation? Time will tell. https://grftr.news/why-was-a-major-study-on-ivermectin-for-covid-19-just-retracted/ …

          He's not exactly great at evolutionary biology, either.

          Unfortunately some of his takes on evolutionary biology are equally questionable. 😏

          Of that, I have little doubt now.
