> This is from ivmmeta.com, part of a sprawling empire of big professional-looking sites promoting unorthodox coronavirus treatments. I have no idea who runs it - they’ve very reasonably kept their identity secret
Why are they hiding their identity? That means that it can be anyone who does this.
-----------------
But even more important. The website also claims that each of the following individual medicines works:
Fluvoxamine
Proxalutamide
Iota-carrageenan
Molnupiravir
Quercetin
Povidone-Iodine
Curcumim
Casirivimab
Sotrovimab
Bamlanivimab
Nitazoxanide
Budesonide
Zinc
Bromhexine
Colchicine
Vitamin D
Aspirin
Favipiravir
Hydroxychloroquine
Remdesivir
Vitamin C
I find it unlikely that all those claims are true which in turn makes me question their scientific approach.
- It is impossible to contact the owners of the website
- The website has gotten direct critique of spreading misinformation in two papers
- They draw their own conclusions from the paper.
- A lot of the papers in its
meta-analysis doesn’t have control
groups or randomized trials. Some
studies only compare ivermectin+X vs
ivermectin+Y
- The total sample size of all
studies are only 2000 people.
But let's ignore all these red flags and focus on this. They claim that each of the following individual medicines works, Fluvoxamine, Proxalutamide, Iota-carrageenan, Molnupiravir, Quercetin, Povidone-Iodine, Curcumin, Casirivimab, Sotrovimab, Bamlanivimab, Nitazoxanide, Budesonide, Zinc, Bromhexine, Colchicine, Vitamin D, Aspirin, Favipiravir, Hydroxychloroquine, Remdesivir, and Vitamin C. I find it unlikely that ALL those claims are true which in turn makes me question their scientific approach.
