That's exactly what he's saying. How many citations does the top cited paper from the LessWrong community have?
Why doesn't they sound believable?

Would you want to have an avatar of them? I don't think I would.

Wit is not practical skill. You can't teach that to another person.
But they can't take down the website?
What would happen if I created an illegal site? CP or selling guns?

> This is from ivmmeta.com, part of a sprawling empire of big professional-looking sites promoting unorthodox coronavirus treatments. I have no idea who runs it - they’ve very reasonably kept their identity secret

Why are they hiding their identity? That means that it can be anyone who does this.

-----------------

But even more important. The website also claims that each of the following individual medicines works:

Fluvoxamine

Proxalutamide

Iota-carrageenan

Molnupiravir

Quercetin

Povidone-Iodine

Curcumim

Casirivimab

Sotrovimab

Bamlanivimab

Nitazoxanide

Budesonide

Zinc

Bromhexine

Colchicine

Vitamin D

Aspirin

Favipiravir

Hydroxychloroquine

Remdesivir

Vitamin C

I find it unlikely that all those claims are true which in turn makes me question their scientific approach.

We won't have offices in the future
That website is fake:

- It is impossible to contact the owners of the website

- The website has gotten direct critique of spreading misinformation in two papers

- They draw their own conclusions from the paper.

- A lot of the papers in its meta-analysis doesn’t have control groups or randomized trials. Some studies only compare ivermectin+X vs ivermectin+Y

- The total sample size of all studies are only 2000 people.

But let's ignore all these red flags and focus on this. They claim that each of the following individual medicines works, Fluvoxamine, Proxalutamide, Iota-carrageenan, Molnupiravir, Quercetin, Povidone-Iodine, Curcumin, Casirivimab, Sotrovimab, Bamlanivimab, Nitazoxanide, Budesonide, Zinc, Bromhexine, Colchicine, Vitamin D, Aspirin, Favipiravir, Hydroxychloroquine, Remdesivir, and Vitamin C. I find it unlikely that ALL those claims are true which in turn makes me question their scientific approach.
