The OP has a high degree of confidence in the ineffectiveness of ivermectin along with a zillion other studies. There's about 2 zillion studies which demonstrate the effectiveness of masks but you have cherry picked one which claims not to know. Go figure. Masks are off topic in this thread about ivermectin.

With statements like that you clearly don’t trust evidence based medicine then. Both Cochrane reviews are equally valid. Cherry picking is not a correct term for a Cochrane review, which is in fact as you’d know, a review of multiple existing studies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinRacing Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Joint effort here means Oxford did 99.9% of the research using Mahidol equipment that were sitting there as Thai staff are unable to use them. The 0.1% contribution by Thais included ordering lunch and stamping parking tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt a little rough for two days. Despite continuing to live and sleep together as normal I didn't get covid from her. Still not had it. Anecdotal evidence is not worth a hill of beans.

Read every word . With an open mind. Based on both Cochrane reviews, which are the best evidence based based medicine studies we have- there’s no clear evidence either Ivermectin or mass masking is effective against Covid. Based on the evidence, my Opinion is neither is effective. Based on the evidence, your Opinion is masks are effective but Ivermectin is not.

Popular Post edwardandtubs Posted February 24, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 24, 2023 All these anecdotal experiences are totally worthless. I was in the UK for most of last year and didn't have a symptomatic case of covid in spite of never wearing a mask through several waves of omicron and not getting a booster shot. I had three Shredded Wheat for breakfast every morning. Coincidence? 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaywalker2 Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Interesting that positive articles about Ivermectin are immediately deleted but not the negative articles. I would point out though that the trial involved only 46 people for the Ivermectin arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
