I still don't understand why the trial did not have arms that used combination drug therapies, which was the protocol used by several doctors/organisation's at the time.
Example Tyson-Fareed, Zalenko, Chatty, McCullough, FLCCC and others which claim high success.
This would have evaluated the complimentary of the components.
Eg. IVERMECTIN+ Doxicycline+Zinc+VitD3+VitC for days 1 to 5 at least.
And what was an "event"? Was it cold like symptoms, or hospitalization? The most critical phase of Covid treatment actually comes after day 7-8, when viral replication has stopped. For example, many die 3-4 weeks after infection due to the cytokine storm response. During this period anti-inflammatory steroids, blood thinners and antihistamines are successfully employed. The Together trial seems very Mickey Mouse to me.
The “futility” was in trying to manipulate the data to make Ivermectin look bad...
...it appears that if Ivermectin worked this well then an EUA wouldn’t have happened and mRNA delivery system based drugs may never pass stage 3 required testing
This is the `easy` answer. However, I find it impossible to believe that so many people are in cahoots to manipulate these, and other, trials for commercial gain. Generally these are doctors and I am naive enough to think they went into that profession with a good heart. I think a more likely explanation is that we're in a stage where dissent to the common opinion is very costly. It is easy for me because I am independent and could retire but it is easy to see that many people lost their reputation. Some people will land on their feet, Kory, Berenson, but many will never recover. People that read this site tend to see a lot of the counter evidence but it has been shocking to me, in the last 2 years, how little information people accept from outside their bubble. And with Wikipedia only allowed to quote from the bubble, the bubble has become airtight, raising the cost to dissent tremendously. If on one side the cost to dissent is high and you're finding lots of sources that confirm (and guide) your belief, then it takes a very strong, independent thinking, person to step out of the bubble. The way we can fool ourselves that we're righteous are infinite.
I think the root cause is a radical change in higher education over the 50 years. Where I believe the (few) people that got academic training were selected to be independent thinkers, the massive scaling up of universities has inevitably reduced the average quality of the students. Combined with was the massive influx of women into academics (students & faculty) who tend to be much more normative than men. Dissent is not just disagreeable, it is evil. What we created is a very homogeneous layer of people that have been indoctrinated for 5-10 years while being told that they are superior. These have now spread out in academics, media, politics, and sadly any large organization with a large HR department. They created T. with their behavior but a side effect of his presidency was that this group gelled & hardened in opposition.
But the sad part is that I am convinced most people look in the mirror and feel they do the right thing. Not withstanding that, I do believe that Big Pharma has psychopaths that are more ruthless and take advantage of this bubble. And that looks shockingly easy nowadays.

One more in-depth explanation about how we’ve all been duped. Thank you.

Sounds kind of like Mass Formation psychosis...
