[kwlug-disc] Ivermectin

[Khalid Baheyeldin]

The more one reads about this alleged research, by Pierre Kory and others,
the clearer it emerges that they are intentionally misleading, and not just
making honest mistakes or sloppy research.

Any competent and honest researcher will be open to new information and
ready to change their stance when presented with new facts. Instead, the
stance here is more like : "it is a goat, not a dove, even if it flew away".

The meta-analysis that was published by Kory, as well as similar ones by
others,
are actually deceptive, when the methodology of systematic review is
applied.

Here is Dr. Susan Oliver who describes what a meta-analysis is, what
criteria
are applied and how, and how the conclusions are weighed. She then goes
on to show that this meta-analysis is flawed, and even deceptive

Alberta).

The Cochrane Collaboration also finds it flawed

And the Cochrane Collaboration is not just one person with a web site or
Youtube channel. It is actually tens of thousands of collaborators in the
medical field from 130 countries who review medical studies and summarize
them for the use of health authorities worldwide, including the WHO. One
of their goals is to have independent review that is not affected in anyway
by pharmaceutical companies.

And none of this prompting of refuted medicines is benign either.
It is actually harmful ...

And I mean actual physical harm, not just the collateral harm on society by
wasting
time and effort, and muddying up sincere and legitimate debate about these
topics,
and others.

Doctors have seen hospitalizations and ICU admissions

poisoned themselves when they self medicated with ivermectin based on the
baseless propaganda
