Ivermectin is incredibly effective. It's just not profitable.

Here is a meta analysis of 63 (so far) randomized double blind trials: https://ivmmeta.com/



Not peer reviewed, not published, anonymous authors.

This is a fake meta-analysis.

The most important study that weighted in IVM favor was bogus and was retracted some days ago.


If you don't like the meta analysis, then sample underlying (cited) studies. I have and didn't find any misrepresentations. Ivermectin looks like a great drug to repurpose as an outpatient therapy for COVID-19.


Here's a scientific paper which presents the case that your link is misleading: https://ebm.bmj.com/content/early/2021/05/26/bmjebm-2021-111...


There are direct links to the underlying studies. I've read about a dozen of them randomly, and I didn't find any misrepresentations.

Are you claiming that Ivermectin isn't effective as a repurposed outpatient therapy for COVID-19?
