Randomized clinical trials have repeatedly found that ivermectin does not benefit COVID-19 patients. The National Institutes of Health recommends against its use for COVID-19. Ivermectin enthusiasts continue to falsely claim the contrary.

Blogger bungles analysis of Swiss COVID figures

William Summers November 25, 2022

WHAT WAS CLAIMED
A graph showing Swiss COVID-19 mortality proves hydroxychloroquine is an effective treatment for the virus.

THE VERDICT
The claim that Swiss COVID data proves hydroxychloroquine is an effective treatment for the virus is false. The claim was based on data analysis by a French website but the figures do not match official Swiss COVID death numbers.

Regardless of the accuracy of the data, biostatisticians told AAP FactCheck the website's analysis and interpretation of a small sample of data was a poor way to assess the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine. Multiple scientific studies have found it to be ineffective against COVID.

False - The claim is inaccurate.

What if House Democrats nominated Liz Cheney for House Speaker? If she got all the Dem votes and picked up even a few Rep votes, she could be elected.

Not predicting this though.
