they literally strip out the paper's conclusions and substitute their own?
is there a long form write up on what ivnmeta did wrong? I couldn't find any, just comments here and there that, and instead of picking who to trust, it might be better if there is a long form going over what exactly and how they did wrong/incorrectly/deceptively.
I assumed they were just cherry-picking studies, but not faking conclusions.

GidMK has made something of a name for himself debunking this stuff, for better or for worse. If you want a source that's not associated with him but still critical, though not as detailed, you can check: https://ebm.bmj.com/content/early/2021/05/26/bmjebm-2021-111678 https://ebm.bmj.com/content/early/2021/05/26/bmjebm-2021-111... There's also Scott Alexander's detailed writeup, which I found good reading. https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/ivermectin-much-more-than-you-wanted https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/ivermectin-much-more-t... It has been criticized for relying too heavily on GidMK, but in my opinion that's reasonable - he is in fact the expert who has studied this in detail.
