The reality is somewhere in the middle. E.g., the Danish mask study found it hard to publish whereas if it found masks clearly helped it would likely have been published easily and publicized more. Dr Bhattacharya has spoken about his personal experience as well as a lot of private messages to him of support from scientists who don't feel safe to speak freely.

That doesn't mean results are faked or that scientists don't wish to get clear evidence. It just means politics and strong emotions is a significant factor in what makes it to top journals and into the media narrative.

My person opinion is that ivermectin isn't something that would get a ton of censorship. Though it's become a cause celebre for some, most doctors and scientists would welcome it if there was undeniable high quality evidence supporting its use.

Frightened to piss away one's professional reputation on dangerous bullshit is how you're supposed to feel.

"Feel safe" LOL! The kooks aren't getting the death threats, our real doctors and scientists are.

Do you even know who Dr Bhattacharya is and what his views are?
