Are you implying what we are thinking, that the reason the IVM placebo arm did so well, better than the other placebo groups, is because they were unblinded due to IVM being available over the counter in Brazil, so the IVM placebo patients realized they weren’t getting IVM and just went and bought their own?
I love your work Alexandros but my question is where is it going from here?
The “fraud busters” would probably have taken everything you’ve done so far to the media and declare they’ve discovered fraud, which would then make major news.
I’m guessing you are going to be a bit more circumspect than that and approach the journal with your concerns or write a letter to the editor with questions for the authors.

Is that the plan?
