At the risk of displaying my confirmation bias on this, here's what Vinay and I meant when we said "low quality studies" LOL: https://grftr.news/why-was-a-major-study-on-ivermectin-for-covid-19-just-retracted/
This actually shows a few important meta-points:
1) If there was a global conspiracy to suppress Ivermectin, why did it take so long to discover that this seminal trial was bullshit? Some medical student figured it out. Some global conspiracy LOL
2) GOOD data, good peer review, matters. This trial had neither.
3) You wonder about the rest of our scientific database (although to be sure, this trial was off the rails in terms of quality control and wasn't peer reviewed).
4) Pierre Kory and the ivermectin squad of "science by press conference" have been pushing this trial as a central piece of RCT evidence. Maybe they should have read it...carefully. Makes you suspect of the rest of their data claims (as we've been from early on)
5) Ivermectin might still work, but only current RCT trials underway can help us answer that properly

And we touch on the importance of embracing the unknown as the true entry point to the nature of reality.
Topics covered include:
The Threads of Awakening model and its impact
Trust and surrender in the spiritual journey
Navigating spiritual ego and its pitfalls
Psychedelics as tools
Embracing the unknown and the ...
