It's worse than that. The city distributed the tablets and so they know how many participants came in and picked them up. Apparently, the study claims that around 200k people took the tablets, but only 136k picked up the tablets. Then after 2 weeks, only 95k picked up their next set of pills. Then by half way through the period studied in this paper, only 8k people picked up their medicine. None of that is noted in the study. That would appear to completely invalidate the whole study.

- srcreigh 5y agoI would like to know whether the people took ivermectin or not maybe via survey. The drug was very popular in Brazil, I don't imagine people would be absolutely required to go to the certain place to pick it up.
- dionian 5y agoI would love to see more studies and research. But unfortunately there seems to be somewhat of "science hesitancy" for certain therapeutics.
- jjeaff 5y agoI think there is only hesitancy because resources are limited and there are thousands of drugs out there to try. IVM has already received far more attention and resources that it likely deserves and there are lots of other drugs to study and other diseases to cure.
