70% Reduction in Deaths
I'm sorry...
WHAT?
This is the result:
After using propensity score matching and adjusting for potential confounders, ivermectin was associated with reduced mortality vs remdesivir (OR 0.308, 95% CI (0.198,0.479)),Risk Difference -5.224%, CI (-7.079%,-3.369%), p <0.0001.
Where in the absolute fuck are they get 70%? You can't just make numbers up and hope it sticks. Either the author is an absolute idiot or they are a liar.
-5% difference between remdesivir and ivermectin, however, is a significant difference especially since their p value is < 0.0001 when statistical significance was set at .05.
Good on you, OP, for not repeating the 70% from the article. Stick to the peer reviewed, published studies. Don't repeat the bullshit from these liar blogger types.
ivermectin was associated with reduced mortality vs remdesivir (O R 0.308
Where in the absolute fuck are they get 70%
1-0.308= .692 ~ 70%
I know it isn't in a source where you can claim found intellect and be contrarian and for that I'm just going to go ahead and say sorry.

1-0.308= .692 ~ 70%
No, that's incorrect.
The actual study says -5.224% between Ivermectin and Remdesivir.
"OR 0.308" is the odds ratio. That's what the OR stands for.
Here's an explanation of what ORs are:

Which means it is a low probability outcome event. What that means is that Ivermectin has a low probability of reducing COVID-19 mortality. But when it does work, compared to Remdesivir, it reduces mortality more than Remdesivir.
That's the cogdis I know and love.
