All Project Veritas has released is a letter from a Major Murphy who presents his opinions on the implications of the Project Drastic presentations made by Eco Health in 2018. This presentation is troubling. But it was made public in October. Major Murphy is just saying what he thinks are the implications of the proposal. He might be right. But his opinions on Ivermectin are irrelevant, just because he happens to be an Army Major. He happens to be right IMHO. But his opinion doesn’t mean anything more than the 65 clinical trials that show ivermectin works. Here’s the proposal and the ivermectin summary.

Actually, all 65 clinical trials do not show that Ivermectin works.

A researcher, Scott Alexander, posted on 11/17/21 his review of available studies on ivmetta.com at:

https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/ivermectin-much-more-than-you-wanted

His conclusions:

“Ivermectin doesn’t reduce mortality in COVID a significant amount (let’s say d > 0.3) in the absence of comorbid parasites: 85-90% confidence”

“Parasitic worms are a significant confounder in some ivermectin studies, such that they made them get a positive result even when honest and methodologically sound: 50% confidence”

“Fraud and data processing errors are of similar magnitude to p-hacking and methodological problems in explaining bad studies (95% confidence interval for fraud: between >1% and 5% as important as methodological problems; 95% confidence interval for data processing errors: between 5% and 100% as important)”

Good reading and he is clear that he is not anti-Ivermectin - everyone makes their own decision. Props to him for going through all the available studies at the time of the post.
