Ivermectin paper retracted

Ouch: No, Ivermectin didn't decrease the COVID-19 mortality rate, it tripled it. Whoopsie. Retraction Watch: Bad MATH+? Covid treatment paper by Pierre Kory retracted for flawed results

The retraction notice:

‘The data from Sentara Norfolk General Hospital were presented in Table 2, which lists in-hospital or 28-day mortality rates at the 2 MATH+ centers as compared to 10 published single-center and multicenter reports. The mortality rate among 191 patients at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital as of July 20, 2020 was reported as 6.1%, as compared to mortality rates reported in the literature ranging from 15.6% to 32%. The authors state that these data “provide supportive clinical evidence for the physiologic rationale and efficacy of the MATH+ treatment protocol.”‘
