OK, that particular thread is irrelevant to the demonstrably false claim made in the posted article, to which my comment was directed, but let’s go look at that and see if we can glean any knowledge.
On that thread, a FReeper posted that he had been diagnosed with COVID and were “very sick”. In the initial post, one might surmise that they tried initially to self medicate, presumably with a low dose of IVM and maybe some other stuff, but note, they were already “very sick”. And quickly, they are urged to go to the doc and get an approved monoclonal antibody, which is denied because of the FDA’s stringent rules that have been much bemoaned here, because they (there are two people being discussed) were already mildly hypoxic. That’s the money quote in that thread: they tried to get one of the “—mab”s, and were turned down because of FDA rules.
But that has nothing at all to do with this mendacious, nay libelous screed that attempts to conflate a proven case of academic fraud with an as-yet unproven allegation of fraud in a single study, and then slyly cast aspersions on the actual basis for serious consideration of IVM and other re-purposed drugs for the treatment of COVID.
The case for this particular re-purposed drug, ivermectin, is based on the three meta-analyses that I referenced earlier, not a single study.
Also he’s being refused treatment. Which is how two people I know died from covid. I was pretty stunned there was no intervention, just put on a vent to die.
