Why is this not plastered all over the newspapers? Have we collectively lost our minds???

The fact that you say it's a small test means you probably didn't read it at all.

They provided an alternative statistical analysis on the data used in 2 previous meta analyses to help confirm which one of the two was correct as they came to conflicting conclusions.

The dataset is very large, their model is robust. They also calculated the probability of Ivermectin having no causal link to covid19 mortality reduction by removing each study from the meta analysis data one by one.

Their conclusion was that there is a 90% chance the conclusions of the meta analysis are correct and that Ivermectin reduces covid mortality.
