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!
We’re making up for lost time in this here bromance 😍 https://zdoggmd.com/podcasting/vpzd-41/
Hey fam! I posted this on my personal Facebook page this morning but I wanted to share it here too. So many of you are basically like family to me. Much love from Canada to all of you in the U.S. today.
“My heart is with everyone in the U.S. as they mark 25 years since 9/11! I was only 7, and my only real vivid memory is from watching the news that night with my parents and seeing the images that we’ve all seen way too many times. I do remember hearing our local news mention it on the radio that morning but it’s not as vivid. I didn’t understand what that day meant until I was older. It’s hard to believe that multiple generations now have only learned about the events through history class at school.”
Sending so much love on a day full of so much sadness.
