Huge study supporting ivermectin as Covid treatment withdrawn over ethical concerns

The efficacy of a drug being promoted by rightwing figures worldwide for treating Covid-19 is in serious doubt after a major study suggesting the treatment is effective against the virus was withdrawn due to “ethical concerns”…
He found the introduction section of the paper appeared to have been almost entirely plagiarised.
It appeared that the authors had run entire paragraphs from press releases and websites about ivermectin and Covid-19 through a thesaurus to change key words. “Humorously, this led to them changing ‘severe acute respiratory syndrome’ to ‘extreme intense respiratory syndrome’ on one occasion,” Lawrence said….
“Because the Elgazzar study is so large, and so massively positive – showing a 90% reduction in mortality – it hugely skews the evidence in favour of ivermectin,” Meyerowitz-Katz said.
“If you remove this one study from the scientific literature, suddenly there are very few positive randomised control trials of ivermectin for Covid-19. Indeed, if you get rid of just this research, most meta-analyses that have found positive results would have their conclusions entirely reversed.”

It’s damning how far they will go to keep people from safe, effective medications like Ivermectin. They will do ANYTHING to force people to die, even though countries across the world are discovering it works.
All they had to do is get someone disreputable to run a silly, shoddy trial and pull the WHOLE THING down, withholding Ivermectin from those who need it.
It’s a drug trial version of shilling. This is disgusting.

You don’t say.

Don’t care. Even removing Elgazzar, which they’ve already done, makes little difference in the meta study. Big Media depends on Big Pharma and lies for them. Big Pharma isn’t interested in an off-patent cheap therapeutic becoming known.

Like how objective they are, as they gloat about the failure of a drug supported by “right wing” figures....yeah...that was the goal. Trash the study, and with it, ‘right wing figures’...
“The efficacy of a drug being promoted by rightwing figures worldwide for treating Covid-19 is in serious doubt after a major study suggesting the treatment is effective against the virus was withdrawn due to “ethical concerns”…”
This was a setup to spike the chances of the public being given access to this drug.

So you didn’t bother to read my link, did you?
There is a whole section on RCTs. There are 30 of them in the meta-study.

Total crock of s**t. Like the evidence of the masses of saved live should be ignored. Hell...Delhi, India was practically saved from annihilation from the way they reported it AND even filed a lawsuit against the W.H.O. Chief Scientist for her role in restricting its distribution saying shes responsible for one count of murder for every life that would have been saved.

Any working therapy eliminates the Emergency Use Authorization. Hundreds of billions of dollars in extra profits would have been lost. So, they have to knock down every alternative.
Money for Big Pharma, Power for the Politians, an Economic Boon for China, Only HCQ and IVM stood in their way, so they had to destroy them.

This was a setup to spike the chances of the public being given access to this drug.What are you talking about? This forum is full of posts from people who have gotten access to Ivermectin.
It seems what many people really want is validation from the same scientific establishment they claim to distrust.

I suspect you are entirely correct.
Brett Weinstein’s latest Dark Horse podcast was about a recent article on ivermectin where the two authors were outright lying, libelous about the person who ran a good study with amazing results, misrepresenting info (saying a study showed the exact opposite of what it actually showed), etc. Those that are in the pro “vax everyone” camp are getting desperate to keep people from using ivermectin, which is about 85-86% effective as a prophylaxis and has an amazing safety record over 40-50 years.
“Random controlled trials” are NOT needed - countries in Africa & India, even Mexico are examples of low rates of COVID where ivermectin is used for other diseases. It is also effective against West Nile - cases are growing in some states.
Bret and Heather 87th DarkHorse Podcast Livestream
https://odysee.com/@BretWeinstein:f/EvoLens87:1
In this 87th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we discuss the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
In this episode, we discuss why SARS-CoV2 must be driven to extinction, why the currently available vaccines are unlikely to be able to do so, and why we therefore need additional tools in our toolkit. We address and rebut the recent Quillette article, which contained copious journalistic and scientific errors, and excluded evidence relevant to the questions under discussion. A written response will be published soon as well. Finally, we share an excerpt from A Hunter-Gatherer’s Guide to the 21st Century, chapter 4 (Medicine).
