Sure there is no science to support Ivermectin.

Stop blocking the truth! Lets see how fast they change their stance once Ivermectin goes mainstream.

“In our view, this paper does not offer an objective nor balanced scientific contribution to the evaluation of ivermectin as a potential treatment for COVID-19. Frontiers’ has published more than 2,000 rigorously peer-reviewed articles on COVID-19 since the pandemic erupted via our Coronavirus Knowledge Hub, and we are acutely aware of just how critical high-quality, objective research in this area is at this time. Frontiers takes no position on the efficacy of ivermectin as a treatment of patients with COVID-19, however, we do take a very firm stance against unbalanced or unsupported scientific conclusions.

Inwardly I have gone over to no longer fighting against and thus for the protection of such hollow heads. I take care of my people in my immediate environment and somehow try to get all these negative thoughts of abuse of power and human idiocy out of my brain.

So it sounds like some editing and claims should be toned down and they will publish it?

Pierre Kory doing a webinar tonight. I suspect the topic will come up - if not during the presentation then during Q&A

I didn't like this sentence: “The idea that I would resubmit to that journal is fairly preposterous, don’t you think?”

Better to be humble and accommodate their objections and get something published than to be "right" and not get anything published.

Maybe a good idea to see if there is any $$ involved from the vaccine manufacturers that would lend in Frontiers' lap.
