It doesn't bother you that the authors of that web site are anonymous?
"Different websites (such as https://ivmmeta.com/, https://c19ivermectin.com/, https://tratamientotemprano.org/estudios-ivermectina/, among others) have conducted meta-analyses with ivermectin studies, showing unpublished colourful forest plots which rapidly gained public acknowledgement and were disseminated via social media, without following any methodological or report guidelines. These websites do not include protocol registration with methods, search strategies, inclusion criteria, quality assessment of the included studies nor the certainty of the evidence of the pooled estimates. "

You didn't answer my questions, but I'll answer yours:
No it doesn't bother me- doctors and scientists who question the established narrative are routinely targeted for reprisal. The website doesn't generate ad revenue, and they list studies for many other treatments and drugs. Further I'll also point out this from their site:
"Vaccines and treatments are both extremely valuable and complementary. All practical, effective, and safe means should be used. Elimination of COVID-19 is a race against viral evolution. No treatment, vaccine, or intervention is 100% available and effective for all current and future variants. Denying the efficacy of any method increases the risk of COVID-19 becoming endemic; and increases mortality, morbidity, and collateral damage."
Regardless I'm not interested in the aggregator, I'm interested in the data (67 studies including 46 peer reviewed).
Instead of shooting the messenger why not discredit those studies?
I see your old link from 6 months ago questioning the websites practices, so I'll counter with this:

"There is nothing the enemies of ivermectin will not stoop to including calling ivermectin "horse dewormer,” making it unavailable at pharmacies, failing to report Uttar Pradesh, publishing bias, biased newspaper reporting, and "fake" randomized trials. The "fake" randomized trial has been weaponized by ivermectin's opponents. There isn't the slightest doubt that behind the scenes our government health care agencies, drug companies, and others have conspired to make ivermectin appear ineffective in Lopez-Medina, Together, ACTIV-6 and COVID-OUT. "
I'll close by asking you this- doesn't it bother you that people are being prevented from receiving treatment by pharmacists that was prescribed by their doctor?
You have no expertise in infectious diseases and public health but you're perfectly willing to believe anonymous people on the Internet while ignoring the advice of the best minds in the field.
Who are the infectious disease / public health experts prescribing this? There are none, just a random smattering of medical outliers relying on an unaccredited meta analysis that doesn't meet accepted standards.
You have no expertise in infectious diseases, yet you’re perfectly willing to ignore and discredit the vast array of studies completed by leaders in their field that contradict your position.
Instead of reviewing those detailed peer reviewed studies you dismiss them out of hand, and attack the site that compiles them.
It seems you are in favour of the government inserting itself between the doctor patient relationship in contravention of established norms.
The only reason more doctors don’t prescribe medical interventions as is routine practice with all other disease, is because they are fired or reprimanded for doing so.
Why is it that monoclonal antibodies still aren’t routinely used in most of Canada, yet have also been proven to improve outcomes?
Why is it that the government doesn’t promote healthy living as it’s widely known that obesity only second to age in being the greatest risk factor to covid?
Since neither of us has this there is not much point in either of us trying to evaluate studies. Deciding to believe the ones that the vast majority of trained personnel dismiss, while not knowing enough to evaluate them, is not a sign of anything good.
The vast array of studies by leaders in their field supports the message being delivered by the best medical facilities and institutions in the world. There are a few outliers, none of whom have much standing with their peers.
The established norm is that doctors follow public health guidelines.
Lack of facilities and lack of trained personnel figure into this. https://globalnews.ca/news/8218172/canada-regeneron-monoclonal-antibody-covid-treatment/
I believe they do, but the supermarkets carry what sells. Deny the people access to their chocolate frosted sugar bombs? That would be too much government control.
