"Adaptive design trial protocol" + "master statistical analysis plan" = statistical magic
They say they measured hospitalization, but also counted "proxy hospitalization" in "mobile hospital-like services"
They gave ivermectin only for 3 days (way too short)
They started with 679 people in the treatment group and in the placebo group. Preconditions and chronic diseases were unevenly distributed between these groups => the trial was too small for useful results
21 vs. 24 deaths - deaths don't count in this study

These are The Rules.

Posts do not need to be directly about Coronavirus, but can be about the latest scamdemic.
General vaccine/health posts belong in one of the Health subs. Move them or delete them or it will be done for you.
Image-only posts, including memes, are ok if on topic. If not, they get deleted.
This isn't a sub for your ramble or showerthoughts unless it's directly about the Scamdemic.
Low effort shitposts will be moved to and declared to be Coke. Posts that aren't appropriate for the sub but don't need to be deleted will just be moved.
Counterpoints (pro-vaccine, etc.) are fine, but you're probably going to be ripped, so make sure your facts are in order.
If you don't have a source, say so. Speculation and opinion are fine as long as it's stated as such.
This is a hot-button topic. Keep it civil or get kicked in the nuts. Your choice. No personal attacks, doxxing, or being an ass beyond the ass you already are.
If you took the vax, it sure does suck to be you. And I do mean it sucks cheesy horse dick and blows an upgoat.
