You’ve got it exactly: designed to fail.
“The @UniofOxford IVM trial is garbage. They are enrolling only age 65+, up to 14 days after symptoms begin, and limiting to 3 days of IVM. They will end up enrolling severely ill high risk pts, and not treating them long enough.
They have carefully designed it to fail. As usual.

Bingo That is exactly what they are doing. It will panic the sheep to the other side of the pen.
