TSOT148: First Look - Dr. Tess Lawrie, "Game of Trust" and her Rapid Review on Ivermectin Studies

Not an interview. But as I've mentioned I'm trying to scout some of these experts for the 5/29/26 - 5/31/26 Better Way Conference, since I'll be attending. This preliminary look gives us a sense of Dr. Tess Lawrie's backstory as a truth teller, via a quick look at one of her exhibits from her book. More specifically, after reading her bio, we dig a little into a main exhibit from chapter one of her book. 1. Exhibit 1: E-BMC Ltd.’s Urgent Rapid Review: Ivermectin reduces the risk of death from Covid-19 (4 January 2021). Think of this not only as informative generally, but another "Memory Hole" pull so that we never forget what was happening on our planet when it comes to real science and real discussion regarding  the most important, life-and-death, health matters, versus the limitations that the establishment were trying to put on both. At the time (early 2021, the heroic Front Line for Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC) brought to the world's attention 27 EXISTING STUDIES on the efficacy of Ivermectin for Covid treatment. But they had not done a meta-analysis across most outcomes and had invited researchers to do so. Dr. Lawrie and The Evidence-Based Medicine Consultancy took them up with a "rapid review" to find the commonalities among 15 of these studies. Her conclusions are strong.  For the two primary outcome measures of ten:   1. Moderate certainty evidence (95% Confidence Interval) that ivermectin probably reduces deaths by an average 83%. From 8.4% among participants in the analysis using control, to 1.4% for those using ivermectin. 2.  Moderate certainty evidence that among health care workers and COVID-19 contacts ivermectin probably reduces the risk of COVID-19 infection by about 88%.  From 34.5% contracting COVID-19 using control, to 4.3% for those using ivermectin.
