I want to make sure I understand this correctly....
If there is a study that is positive in regard to Ivermectin which later gets proven false, that means conclusively that Ivermectin is not effective? Is that right?
How about if there is a study that is negative to Hydroxychloroquine which is later proven false? Does that mean conclusively that Hydroxychloroquine IS effective?
I want to make sure I am getting the logic right.
That is clearly a false flag
All that has been said is that this study which is withdrawn for ethical issues of plagiarism which contributed to the largest positive ivermectin result in the meta data has severely diminished the overall claim that ivermectin is an efficacious treatment. The majority of studies demonstrate that ivermectin has weak impact. This was THE study with the biggest number. So understanding what a meta analysis is withdrawing this study severely compromises the analysis and leaves with smaller studies of equivocal results. Exactly what we are swing in practice. This study was quite an outlier.
