  The website seems to be related to the FLCCC, which has been advocating for use of Ivermectin and fighting a lot against vaccination. My skepticism doesn't make me confident this website is as neutral as is could. And yes, there are other studies, but they're not as big and with this large study retracted, it tipped the stats towards being not as effective as it was portrayed. https://gidmk.medium.com/is-ivermectin-for-covid-19-based-on-fraudulent-research-5cc079278602 https://gidmk.medium.com/is-ivermectin-for-covid-19-based-on... > The problem is, if you look at those large, aggregate models, and remove just this single study, ivermectin loses almost all of its purported benefit. Take the recent meta-analysis by Bryant et al. that has been all over the news — they found a 62% reduction in risk of death for people who were treated with ivermectin compared to controls when combining randomized trials. > However, if you remove the Elgazzar paper from their model, and rerun it, the benefit goes from 62% to 52%, and largely loses its statistical significance. There’s no benefit seen whatsoever for people who have severe COVID-19, and the confidence intervals for people with mild and moderate disease become extremely wide.
