Is Ivermectin for Covid-19 Based on Fraudulent Research? Part 2

Another tale of potential fraud in the ivermectin literature

This is part 2 in what appears to be a deep well of fraud underpinning the entire evidence-base for ivermectin and Covid-19. Part 1 is here.

Also, much of this is based on work by Dr. Kyle Sheldrick, whose blog on the matter you can read here.

Most research is OK — it has some virtues, some oversights, some charms, some flaws. Some is excellent and transformative, some is terrible and harmful. When I first became interested in ivermectin, an anti-parasitic medication being tested for Covid-19, I expected a combo plate of the above — just like everything else.

Maybe, and this is a worst-case scenario, a few cheeky papers that had been doctored or altered noticeably, something bad enough to leave a clue.

I did not expect what has happened, what is happening.

I hesitate to put this into words, because it scares me, and because I know the consequences of such statements. But there is no sugar thick enough to coat this:

Ivermectin literature contains a staggering volume of scientific fraud. Not mistakes, or oversights, or gilded lilies. Fraud.
