The article is mentioning the antiviral facet of ivermectin though. Acting against HIV, dengue and encephalitis for example. I'm very skeptical about this drug, but I'm not even close from being someone that knows this stuff.

During peak Ivermectin I read a few of the papers. Most of them that are not statistically significant, and I'm just ignoring them. Reading the ones that are statistically significant, most are horrible, very horrible. They don't have a control group, or the control group is an unrelated bunch of guys in another city, or they have weird exclusion rules, or weird calculation that make no sense.

From the list in one of the meta sites, I found only one that is not horrible. There were like 30 studies, so if Ivermectin has no effect, the flukes would produce like 2 or 3 "lucky" studies with a p<.05. So I'm not impressed.

And that's with Covid-19, that was under the spot and I expect studies to be more careful. So... can you post your favorite study that shows that Ivermectin is a good medicine against HIV, dengue or encephalitis. I'll try to take a look and post me comment about it. I didn't read any of them, but my guess is that they are horrible or not statistically significant.
