This is what I'm talking about.

Metaanalyses of bad studies provide bad results. Garbage in, garbage out. There are a lot of confounding variables that cannot be accounted for in these retrospective studies. They're shite.

Randomized control trials are the gold standard for a reason. These were done for the vaccine and showed marked benefit. There are some ongoing for Ivermectin. Hopefully, they show benefit, but most are skeptical because of the dose required in vitro.
