· Inside the ivermectin saga: a hacked password, mysterious websites and faulty data
Last May, a graduate student named Jack Lawrence sat down in his apartment and began combing through a medical study about ivermectin for his coursework at the University of London.
The study, conducted by researchers at Benha University in Egypt and published in November 2020, had produced stunning results. It found that ivermectin, an antiparasitic drug that’s been around for decades, could reduce the risk of death among COVID-19 patients by 90%, among other findings.
“Suddenly, I started noticing something,” Lawrence said. “Although there [were] a lot of parts of the paper that were badly written, there are also a few sentences, which had perfect grammar, perfect everything, and could have been plucked right out of another scientific paper. And, in fact, they were. I put them into Google. Each of these sentences got a hit.”

A different view on ivermectin for your perusal.
Yeah, a lot of anti-ivemectin use the fallacious studies as basis for their disapproval. The problem is that there’s 30 other well run double blinds saying the same thing.
Ivermectin COVID-19 studies. 148 studies, 98 peer reviewed, 78 with results comparing treatment and control groups.
I really don't care about one faulty one when so many others do have legitimate results and the medicine is harmless and pretty inexpensive to take.
Thanks, I did post that in my comment #1.
You’re putting it up there to challenge what’s going on.
If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work
80yr old woman on her death bed, in a coma due to covid complications, family sues, she’s treated with it, she walks out of the hospital as right as rain.
Rogan and White get covid, do the protocol, are fine within days, talk about it, and one is having his career destroyed over talking about his experience.
Three people I know had covid, all 3 went on the ivermectin protocol, within 3 days not a symptom and have never felt better.
Doctors here in Georgia have been treating people with it since this started with amazing results.
Guy at my gym, probably in his late 60s, covid positive, gets ivermectin from his doctor, symptom free in days and has never felt better
This isn't the MSM. Let's see the list of 30, or a request to have your comment pulled.
If I recall the people managing the post hoc metadata of Ivermectin studies have removed this Egyptian study from their dataset. I didn’t read this whole article but presume it’s another anti-IVM hit piece. If so, it is just piling on because it is non-issue. No serious IVM researchers use that Egyptian study.
Junk science and fraud and plagiarism in science is a very real thing. Fortunately some science studies are well done including many showing the effectiveness of Ivermectin. Studies which are junk are not very helpful in determining its effectiveness one way or another.
After well over a year of Covid, this article can cite the problem that there been no credible, large-scale, definitive studies of whether Ivermectin, hydrochloriquine, etc., have any efficacy against the disease, at various stages and approaches (as in: prevention; early use at onset of symptoms to avoid escalation into serious illness; avoiding cytokine storms; treating full-blown cases).
Question: WHY NOT? Why are people left to speculate over something this important? Why no studies of the possible upside with early cases and mild symptoms, versus disproving what few even allege (that ivermectin “cures” full blown cases?). Tou’d almost think there was no money in it.
In the study that inspired the article, the researcher found specific errors in the data. Was this so pervasive that the whole study is negated? Or, if the errors were purged, does it have useful implications either way?
After ten significant errors, I just stopped reding. I then looked at the home page for the site, and it is clearly a far-left publication.
I like to play What’s-The-Fallacy. The one used here, I think is sometimes called the nut-picking fallacy. Some research group that no one’s heard of appears to have done faulty research in support of a particular claim. Therefore, we are to believe that the claim must be entirely false, and any evidence supporting it safely ignored.
See my post #4.
And let’s get your post pulled…
Japan’s pretty happy with it:
Here’s a summary of 78 studies, all of which show more positive reactions the earlier it’s provided.
Good luck with the one other study though.
Some have taken it and it did not help, and those few cases are the only ones that they left global onto in order to claim it doesn’t work, but the reality,is,more and more folks are taking it ahen in serious comdition and doing fine, and the left can’t hide that fact anymore. Japan just released their own study priving that it is saving lives, muchmto,much to, chagrin of the left who are desperately trying to bury the facts znd gaslight an entire world
Not mentioned in this article are: the numerous international studies, the dramatic drop of COVID deaths in India after Ivermectin treatments became common, the flawed research supporting the vaccines (including whistleblower testimony about Pfizer’s testing protocols), and a lot of other shady stuff coming from the establishment, e.g. the “debunked conspiracy theory” that it originated from the wet market, the conflicts of interest of the authors of a Lancet paper, the gain-of-function research that, Fauchi assures us, wasn’t gain-of-function research. Etc.
This paper seems like propaganda in its careful editorial control.
Yes, let’s become exactly like the left and censor everyone- cripes! You can find those 30 studies yourself! It’s been posted many times here on fr!
Or they are trying to make excuses for banning it, when it might have saved lives?
I thought Jim banned Commie bast@rds from Free Republic.
One’s been overlooked, it appears.
