This ivermectin trial just came out today, enrolling >500 high-risk people early in their COVID disease course. 30% were not vaccinated. There were no benefits to ivermectin.
How long until we see grifters trying to explain why ivermectin didn't work?

Unsurprisingly, the quacks pushing this latest miracle cure had no comment.

@g_rockets@spottedpelican@MistypedMike @JHowardBrainMD Why should we use previous years data? If influenza is just as or more severe than SARS-CoV-2, why has viral competition heavily favored SARS-CoV-2 the past 2 years? If SARS-CoV-2 was present in 2009-2010, would there have been 358 flu deaths in children?
