Professor Sam McConkey SINCE THE OUTSET of the pandemic, the question of what treatments are effective has been the subject of quite a bit of online discussion with some, including former US President Donald Trump, advocating for really rather questionable treatments.
Having done this, unfortunately, one finds that the quality of the descriptions of the studies of ivermectin for Covid-19 is low or very low. This makes it hard to dismiss the hypothesis that the differences observed in death and disability in those who received ivermectin could all easily be due to random chance factors alone.
Perhaps, for some who have not had the benefit of years of experience in assessing the evidence for the use of a new drug, it is a vast under-appreciation of how biased and wrong the results of poorly conducted clinical studies can be. Some people might believe that it is fine and optimal to use several untested and unproven medications in a desperate bid to save the life of a patient who is deteriorating.
Perhaps some people have lost trust in our statutory regulatory agencies, like the Health Products Regulatory Authority or the European Medicines Agency. In my view, these agencies over several decades have developed effective processes to determine, based on the evidence, if a medicinal product works, and if it is safe. Almost all other countries around the world have their own regulatory agency.
Perhaps some people have been persuaded through digital content from abroad to take on a universal conspiratorial understanding of power, which is often promoted by disenchanted out-of-power politically-active individuals or groups who would like to be in power. This viewpoint promotes an attractive simple binary model of the world that we live in, as dominated by a singular secretive all-powerful cabal including those identified as a medical establishment.
I had to re read that again when I seen his name attached as I thought I was seeing things because he said that.
Surprisingly not a too bad article maybe Sam has returned to his senses and has abandoned isag
disclaimer: do not bet the house and kids on mcklonkey's predictions, they have been wrong to orders of magnitude every single time

When you say the 'truth' you mean things inline with your worldview, not the truth discovered by the best method. If you did some face checking on your own claims, we'd see a big list of falsehoods.
By looking to the street and watching people fall down, dying. Listening to RTE and reading the Journal. Only the Factcheckers and Deboonkers can help us.
Why oh why does this charlatan keep getting media space.
Why does 'journalism' keep giving oxygen to ISAG? Covid cheques?
COVID is fake ! Open your eyes
