now lets look the topic at hand. Infectious disease. kinda a big topic right? COVID to boot, also, right now, kinda a hot topic no? So if these articles were actually worth a damn, dont you think a journal with higher impact would be interested? Nature, probably the most influential scientific publication has an impact of 50.

then lets specifically talk about the 3rd article. published in an online journal with almost no impact. these are circle jerking communities who will publish literally anything. often times the authors themselves pay to have it published. they are simply facets for people to pad their CV and anyone with half a brain who see's something like that knows to immediately toss it into the trash bin

So your posts ITT trying to get people to discount the studies aren’t about the studies themselves? You’re talking about where they are published.

only in part. please go back to my original where i stated 2 of 3 are retrospective only and would at best only prove correlation (this really isnt a good thing, or bad thing, just a thing). The other is observational only. neither actually prove ivermectin itself has any affect what so ever.

the impact factor is just a little extra there. if they actually showed anything of any importance on such a hot topic, it would have been submitted to and published by something much more worthwhile. the fact the authors chose these journals to publish in says exactly what they think of their own study.
