Ivermectin effectiveness based on flawed study

This Nature journal article explores the flawed study that Ivermectin adherents are using as justification. That study was withdrawn from publication after an investigation "found other causes for concern, including dozens of patient records that seemed to be duplicates, inconsistencies between the raw data and the information in the paper, patients whose records indicate they died before the study’s start date, and numbers that seemed to be too consistent to have occurred by chance."


They note that that study was the first one of the drug to find positive results for Covid prevention or treatment. Whether Ivermectin is effective has yet to be proven. They encourage further study. Meanwhile we have a LOT of peer-reviewed data that the vaccines are effective with minimal problems.
