“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
should be entirely reversed at the end
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.
Kory et al cites Elgazzar in this peer reviewed paper. However removing Elgazzar does little to dilute the findings that Ivermectin is very effective in reducing impact of COVID at just about every stage.
The formal conclusions
Conclusions:
Meta-analyses based on 18 randomized controlled treatment trials of ivermectin in COVID-19 have found large, statistically significant reductions in mortality, time to clinical recovery, and time to viral clearance. Furthermore, results from numerous controlled prophylaxis trials report significantly reduced risks of contracting COVID-19 with the regular use of ivermectin. Finally, the many examples of ivermectin distribution campaigns leading to rapid population-wide decreases in morbidity and mortality indicate that an oral agent effective in all phases of COVID-19 has been identified.
