Furthermore, their positive results are based on 280 individuals, not the initial sample.

It’s clear that this was a “fudge the numbers” scenario https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2801827 https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2801827 https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa2115869 https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa2115869 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9308124/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9308124/ In fact, I cannot find a double blind that supports the use of ivermectin to treat Covid.
