Clicking through and reading the actual study makes me think that this is a hit job... In their conclusion they claim to 'Prove a negative' which is generally bad science. The positive evidence they have suggests a strong correlation to geographical location. Ivermectin studies from Latin America, Southeast Asia, and sub-Saharan Africa show a strong positive effect but studies from the US and Europe do not, per their data set. But then they conclude this is because of ring worms. They did nothing to control for other factors... just went and found something that is true for the third world and not for the 1st world and said that was the cause. They did not even mention the vast genetic differences in the sample populations. The data just does not support this: > we strongly caution against extrapolation for patients not at increased risk for strongyloidiasis. They picked 12 studies total to analyze; 4 from US/EU and 8 from Africa/Latin America etc... This reeks of cherry picked data Edit: What they are trying to imply is that Ringworm is the real factor, essentially saying that ringworm infection increases your mortality to Covid and ivermectin only helps because it treats ringworm... and this is absurd. If ringworm+Covide was a death sentence it would be easy to see in the data.
