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
Mrs. DoggMD and I hiked up to the top of a crazy temple and cemetery called Otani Sobyo above Kyoto this morning. Pure madness 🔥 and HELLLA G-HOSTS!
Today's interview with legendary vaccine researcher Paul Offit. Video version coming shortly!
Wow, 3 episodes in 3 weeks, I'm as surprised as y'all 😂 Lot's a fun so it keeps happening I guess! https://zdoggmd.com/podcasting/vpzd-43/
My news feed is like living in a parallel universe. First our local hospital set to close two whole wards and an article explaining why the NHS says this loss of beds will benefit patients and while I was trying to get my head round that logic this headline was confusing it ...still good to know that chintz is back. I had no idea Alex Jones was a supporter of floral prints.
(Ohhhhh not that Alex Jones - I see!)
