The Cureus case of Ivermectin for Covid in Brazil, Part 1

Ғылым және технология

A recently published retrospective observational cohort study of Ivermectin use in the city of Itajai, Brazil has gotten a certain amount of buzz by Ivermectin-for-Covid proponents, but is deeply flawed. In this, the first of two planned videos about this study, I address the scientific publication process itself. In the second video, I'll address the scientific details of the paper.
Ivermectin has NOT been shown to be beneficial for treatment or prevention of Covid-19.

It shows how important it is for someone who knows what they are doing, like yourself, to look into these matters. I am blown away at how outrageously corrupt this paper ended up being.

I very much appreciate your thoroughness and step by step breakdown of the information contained in your videos. My husband is in a high risk category for a potentially poor outcome from Covid infection due to a congenital medical condition. We are very health conscious, take protective measures, are extremely pro active about staying up to date on current information and are open to investigation of all treatments. That said, with so much information and misinformation it can be a tad overwhelming at times to digest! Clear information brings confidence. Many thanks!

    Look into using monoclonal antibodies as a prophylaxis. It’s as effective as the vaccines, but is only effective for 4 to 6 months or so. This is an option for those at high risk, and those for whom vaccines are ineffective due to immune system disfunction or other health issues. If Colin Powell had received monoclonals as a prophylaxis, he’d likely sill be alive today. He was vaccinated, but has cancer of his immune cells.

    @@clairelariviere3122 Genuine question. What lies? I watch his videos regularly and I think he has been right much more than not: Firmly pro-vaccination, pro-masks, encouraging of lockdowns, social distancing and shielding. That is nearly all that mattered for most of the pandemic and exactly the right message for his large audience. Keenly persistent on several things others don't talk about but which I believe are valid: Ventilation and vitamin D. Consistent on referring to excess deaths (130 000 approx) as the best indicator of covid impact. He was well ahead of most in realizing the changes represented by Omicron. He was talking about the potential positives of infection based immunity when the media was painting an apocalyptic picture. He takes a global view with less wealthy communities in mind. That is part of his humanity. Another aspect being the coverage of individual stories of long covid and vaccination injuries. I don't quite know what to make of his thing about aspiration but I got my vaccination in Asia and the nurse said "of course, we always do that" when I asked her if she would aspirate before injection, some it is not an outlandish position. He has I think, been overly enthusiastic about IVM. I am interested to see how that plays out. He has been critisized for the video on "deaths due to covid". I understand the critisism but in that video he did (as he does consistently) identify excess deaths as the "real" figure. I found the idea of 19000 deaths, due solely to covid, of otherwise healthy individiuals indicative of the severity of covid, not downplaying the impact. I form my own opinions but Campbell has been a good source of debunking arguments against antivaxxers, covid deniers and other conspiracies. My other favorite is prof Greg. To me, the difference in style is natural given their backgrounds. Greg as an academic and researcher, Cambell more of a patient facing clinician. They are both terrific communicators at a very useful level of detail.

Social blade is a website that estimates income through KZread revenue, and estimated JC made up to £6 million in 2021. Other estimation sites put it even higher. He went from creating physiology videos less than once a month, to churning out daily videos. As the pandemic rolled on, his videos on more contentious topics e.g. VAEs, IVM etc. were spiking the most views and he gradually started doing them more, with a more provocative slant each time. These brought in a large anti-establishment audience and JC leaned into that. He went from discussing studies to reading out conspiratorial emails, massively misrepresenting studies and bandwagoning whatever nonsense the FLCCC pushed while pumping out innuendo constantly. It's understandable - imagine if your salary doubled, it would be very hard to stop what you're doing. Now imagine it increases by a factor of 30.

    This is a fantastic presentation! Virtually no one else has explored the dubious research, ethics and bonafides of so many hyperbolic papers and the journals that publish these papers. Occasionally I do my own background checking, What one discovers can be beyond belief. I found one Covid paper whose lead author was an eye surgeon…. And another that was written by a man with a career in combustion engineering. Both of these were theoretically peer reviewed; published in “scientific journals”; and promoted by social media influencers.

If it worked then it would be well accepted by now regardless of any attempts to supress it. They tell us when it doesn't work it's always because it wasn't taken soon enough, dose wasn't high enough, they didn't take it with zinc or any other combination of extras, the new variant responds better to HCQ, have to take both IVM and HCQ etc.

When I'm looking at the details of the journal, first I check if it's on the list of predatory journals here....

Why is it that science demands “double blind” experiments. Why is peer review important? What is the difference between association and causation? Why is it important for researchers to list their possible conflicts ? Why is statistical expertise so important? When some one like Dr. Greg tries to bring up such issues….. people’s eyes tend glaze over. It is all to easy to confuse affability with reliability.

For that you need clinical studies. And these tell us that ivermectin is not effective for the prevention of treatment of COVID-19. Also, you are not "done with" COVID-19. Immunity induced by either infection or vaccination is not permanent and does not eliminate the risk of re-infection. You still need to take precautions. And the success rate of ICU treatment of COVID-19 is not 20%. It is closer to 70%. But even if it was 20%, that's represents less deaths from COVID-19.

    There are lots of journals with different roles, and I *think* there's a place for a journal like Cureus. I don't think they are predatory in any usual sense: they have actual editors, they don't charge for submissions (they charge for editing), and they offer some form of peer review. But I think their peer review is openly a light touch. Just thinking out loud: leading medical journals like JAMA routinely "desk reject" submissions because they are marginal: low quality, unlikely to change clinical practice or to be used to argue for changing clinical practice. Those submissions don't even _get_ peer review: the authors are told to submit elsewhere. But bottom tier journals (and I'm not just speaking of Cureus, I mean this more broadly) don't desk reject papers because they are too important. They should! I'd rather see Cureus publish case reports, and simply refuse to entertain clinical research studies and clinical trials, *because* those studies demand more extensive and critical peer review than the journal is able to provide.If a submission looks like it might be used, on publication, to argue for a change in clinical practice, I'd like to see Cureus desk-reject it.

Todos claimed they would start a clinical trial in December 2020, but I have not seen any evidence they did and/or reported any outcomes. They merely state, on their homepage, that it is "scientifically studied", but since they sell it as a supplement, this means they do not need any evidence that it actually works.

    LOL no one was hiding anything The FDA office that would need to do the work has ten employees, including two trainees, and is currently processing about 400 FOIA requests. It also says the process is time-consuming as each page must be reviewed "line-by-line" and some information exempt from FOIA would need to be redacted. The FDA said the standard would be to release 500 pages per month on a rolling basis - 6,000 pages per year. Divide 329,000 by 6,000 and the result is 54.83 years. At that pace, the request wouldn't be fully answered until 2076. "Courts usually do not waiver from the standard 500 page per month processing rate even when a FOIA request would take years to process," the FDA said.

    You need to understand publication bias. Basically when the pandemic started everyone was in a panic to find existing cheap drugs that work against Covid. Ivermectin is extremely cheap, and one petri dish experiment in Australia showed that it had antiviral properties so many small groups and individuals around the world tried it in vivo using extremely small clinical trials. Obviously when a clinical trial is extremely small, there will be huge variations in the results. That means that some studies will randomly happen to show that it works, while just as many will show that it causes harm, and the majority will show that it has no effect. The studies that show that it doesn’t work, and the studies that show that it causes harm will be terminated early, and will not be published, because, why would they be? They are uninteresting. However, the few that happen to randomly show that it works will be published, because they appear to be interesting, and obviously the authors who performed the trial want to be published and want fame and fortune for discovering a cure. They will also, obviously believe the results of their clinical trial. Then, other scientists who worked on majority of the trials and studies that show that it doesn’t work have to spend time and effort debunking the trials and studies that happened to randomly show that it works. When they say that a study has a 5% chance of being false, that means that out if 1000 studies, 50 will show that the medication works while 950 will be aborted and remain unpublished. This is a serious problem that’s difficult to solve. They try to solve it by requiring clinical trials to be registered before they commence so that we can see how many were aborted compared to how many were published. Another problem with these Ivermectin trials was that the majority, if not all of them were not registered anywhere, and therefore all the failed clinical trials are invisible.

    Don't suppose you covered the Andrew Hill research paper or delved into that.

I'm sure you wouldn't want to get involved in the unwarranted slander of a dedicated scientist, but that is unfortunately what the stories about Andrew Hill are. His university hadn't just received 40m from pharma, and he changed his view on ivermectin because the evidence changed, especially as fraudulent studies were identified. I want to be clear here, Jeannette: the lies spread about Dr. Hill are not just slanderous, but dangerously so. He's received death threats. What Dr. Hill has demonstrated isn't corruption, but courage, holding his stand for science in the face of absolutely horrific slander and threats on his person. The people who've led that slander -- Tess Lawrie, Pierre Kory, and others -- should be ashamed.
