No it's not an opinion. There is a big difference between lets say an ecological study and an RCT.

I’ll repeat again, totaling all studies on IVM, 60+, over 50,000 people, and around 70% of them show positive results for IVM.
You are repeating the same misinformation that many Ivermectinistas continue to repeat without even reading the actual studies from that site. How about you pick the best high quality study that you think shows clear cut evidence that Ivermectin is of significant benefit in treating COVID and we can dive into the actual study and discuss it? Deal?

The best study on IVM was out of Egypt and it was retracted. Elgazzar was never allowed to defend the accusations of data manipulation which I found rather spurious. I’m not happy how that retraction was done.

There are few RCT and Peer Reviewed studies out of India, Bangladesh, and Mexico I could link. But I know you immediately will pounce on the size. Some with less than 100 people.

Taken individually your points have merit but not when we include all the studies together. Unless there is a worldwide conspiracy to promote IVM why would so many studies out of so many different countries produce the same results?

Wasn't there also a major clinical trial underway sponsored by Temple University, then mysteriously stopped mid-stream? No one reports why - we can likely speculate.

I know this is not quite COVID post but this number literally stunned me. You are worried about disease but look at this

Google it. Food you eat. Shampoos you use. Nail polish. Soap. Food wrapper.

Despite the intense efforts of the rabid anti-vaxx population, we are making progress. As of today (Oct 28):

~418 million administered doses of vaccine
~80% of the 18 and over population has had at least one jab
~97% of the 65 and over population has had at least one jab.

Data is from CDC website.

And all those people can still get and pass Covid. UK data says vaxxed die at the same rate as the unvaxxed.

What do your shots do again?

Edit: I hope serger is not responding to me. I'm never going to see it. I'll bet it's inaccurate and rude though...

Yes, they can get it and pass it, bit at a much lower rate.

No, it does not say that. Next.

As I understand, their results are expected at the end of this year. Do you have an article on their methodology, or this stoppage?

I wouldn't be surprised results to be delayed to not interfere with vaccinations.

Some of these studies are intentionally rigged, giving only a single dose of IVM in the trials. It would be like giving 1 dose of antibiotics, and concluding they don't work.

I'm fairly certain IVM will be vindicated as effective, but only after the gov hits their vaccination targets and rolls out some expensive and dangerous drugs like Merck's Molnupiravir.

When IVM is vindicated, mark my words, the people here will not bat an eyelash. The narrative will be: new data came in, and medical community updated their recommendations, as should happen!

The intense effort of rabid anti-vaxx? It's more like the intense efforts of the rabid, fasco-vaxxers who are forcing people to choose between their jobs, normal life and getting the vax. You squeeze people enough, they will get the vax. And no care in the world if they suffer bad outcomes.

Disgusting. I don't want to share a country with people like you.

That study was straight up plagiarized, not to mention there were MANY things wrong with it. Any one with half a brain could see that study was pretty much made up. Of course he didn't defend it because he copied a large portion of it and made up numbers

Are you sure these are RCT's? Lets see them

That's what a Systematic Review and a Meta-Analysis is for. The current Meta-Analysis that are available show NO benefit of using Ivermectin for COVID.
