Okay. Thank you.
I'd like to refer to a paper published in the American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene in 2018. This was data collected from approximately 19,500 U.S. veterans, many who were deployed and many who were not. It looked at the mental health outcomes between anti-malarials—whether or not people received anti-malarials. Again, this is a very large study in a peer-reviewed scientific journal. The summary says, “once deployment and combat exposure were added to the multivariable models... No significant associations were found between mefloquine and mental health measures.” It goes on to say, “These data suggest that poor physical and mental health outcomes reported in this study population are largely because of combat deployment exposure.”
This is a very large study in a peer-reviewed journal that's fairly recent, which basically says that they cannot find any definitive relationship between this drug and these symptoms.
What do we have to counter that? Are there peer-reviewed scientific journal articles of similar power that will refute this?
