But is that the third or the fourth booster?

10 weeks?  

Better up it to 5 jabs per year maybe even 6 to be safe.

If this is legit, that would be great.   Will be interested to see  a review of this Meta-analysis.  I have a question on it already just from looking at the first study they cite, the Chowdhury study.   They cite this study as a positive.  However, if you actually go into the study and read it (the study looked at recovery times in ivermectin vs. HCQ), the study claims that the difference in recovery time was not statistically significant.  The mean recovery time in the treatment arm was 8.933 days vs 9.33 days in the control arm.

So why is the Meta Analysis you posted claiming conclusions that the study authors themselves aren't concluding?  And how many other studies did they do this to if I was able to find this just by looking at the first one in alphabetical order?

A quote from the study conclusion:

Quote

Researchers have suggested different drug combination therapies for COVID19. According to our study, the Ivermectin-Doxycycline combination therapy has better symptomatic relief, shortened recovery duration, fewer adverse effects, and superior patient compliance compared to the Hydroxychloroquine-Azithromycin combination.

 

Australia, of course:

Meanwhile What really matters

Really? tell that to the CDC and the administration, cases should not matter but they do to them

They matter only in how they pertain to the deaths and hospitalizations.  They matter as indicators and data that needs to be followed in order to instill public policy to prevent deaths and hospitalizations.  But at the end of the day its the deaths and severe cases that matter.  That's why vaccinations are the most important weapon.

My haircut's effectiveness wanes in 72 hours.  That doesn't mean I need a haircut every 72 hours.  You are a f'ing moron, and i can't stress enough how much of a moron you are.

We've had something similar go through our whole house. Sore throats, sneezing, headaches, coughing... but all negative on a rapid test and gone in about 48-72 hours. 

I wonder how common false negatives are.

A quote from the study conclusion:

 

And here are multiple quotes from the study results section that actually go into detail of the results:

"Difference in Recovery to Negative PCR between Groups

The difference between group A and group B recovery to negative PCR duration was not statistically significant in unpaired t-test, p=0.2314"

"The mean duration of symptomatic recovery was 5.93 days (5 to 10 days) in group A and 6.99 days (4 to 12 days) in group B (Fig. 1g). This difference in time to symptomatic recovery between group A and group B is not statistically significant, p=0.071 (Fig. 1g)"

"In the secondary analysis of subjects who began the study with symptoms, the mean duration of time to negative PCR was 9.061 days in group A and 9.738 days in group B. This was not statistically significant in the unpaired t-test, p=0.0714."

"The mean duration of time to becoming negative PCR of patients without symptoms was 8.364 days in group A and 7.917 days in group B, which was not statistically significant in unpaired t-test, p=0.443 (Fig. 2b)"

"No significant difference in the recovery duration was found in the subgroup analysis of the recovery duration according to the study groups' age."

"The difference in recovery to negative PCR duration was not significant (p=0.231) among the two groups."

"In our study, the difference in recovery to become symptom-free was not statistically significant (Fig. 1c). Nevertheless, the Ivermectin group showed better symptomatic recovery than the HCQ group (Fig. 2 a-d). According to the age among study groups, the difference was not statistically significant (Fig. 2 e). Ivermectin-Doxycycline combination expressed an earlier and faster relief of COVID features (Fig. 1 g) and viral clearance than the HCQ-Azithromycin combination. However, the mean recovery duration is not statistically significant (Fig. 1c)."

This is statistics 101 stuff.  With a p-value >.05, the null hypothesis is retained and the alternative hypothesis rejected.  So I don't really care what blurb they put in the conclusion of the study.  The results of their study show that the hypothesis that Ivermectin provided a benefit should be rejected.  They didn't have a statistically significant finding in any of their measured outcomes.

Depends on the test. The ones we used over the holidays were far better at detecting negatives than positives. 98% to 85% - something like that.

Relatively more common with rapid tests. Because you need a significant amount of antigens to produce a positive result.

But if everyone in the household was symptom-free in under 3 days, I doubt it was COVID. More likely a cold virus.

The way they came to that conclusion sounds incredibly sciencey. I mean, great stuff guys. The 10 day number was totally not completely arbitrary, I'm sure.  

Twitter suspended the guy who invented the mRNA technology that led to the vaccines, because he's dared to question the effectiveness of the vaccines using the manufacturers own data.

Lol yes let’s ignore the body of the study that contains all of the statistical analysis which they state over and over again bears no statistical significance.  And instead let’s just go off a general non statistical sentence from the conclusion.

awesome.

Its amazing how many people are incapable of reading and understanding basic data.  Is it incompetence or laziness?
