Underpowered, confusing with major limitations mean the study was designed for publication in NEJM or JAMA, not to study ANYTHING.

I'm sorry that you're confused. How would you fix it?

I'm just trying to understand how you would fix this study.

I am not Vinu but here's my 2 cents.

I would like to see a study done that splits patients in equal (by comorbidities) but randomized arms, intervention and control. Give the intervention arm the flccc protocol (IVM, D3, zinc and C) and give the control group whatever the official medicine recommends. Start early, on day 1 or 2.

What the "official medicine recommends" is not a control group. All such a study would tell you is whether ivermectin was safer than the other drugs not whether it worked. A control would have to be something that was known to be harmless like a sugar pill.

What studies have come closeted to that protocol?

The only issue I see that you have is the formulation (is the IVM dose any different?) and the day that they start treatment.

In case you were not aware, David is a troublemaker from the MisinformationKills group. He either pretends to not understand anything or really does not understand anything. Difficult to have a conversation ...

I'm sorry if you dislike my questions. They are repetitive. But you seem to have a problem with the concept of evidence. I probably hate asking you almost as much as you hate not answering..

Start at the very top. Drain the corrupted swamp.

Can you answer the question, or do you want to play your game of deflect again?
