Deworming is controversial because it's an area where the people doing the work where open to high quality scientific analysis of the effects of their work. GiveWell does not only have the mission of getting money to charities that at the moment are efficient but it also has the mission of incentivising charities to be transparent.
That alone shouldn't drive recommendation but it's valuable to keep it in mind.
Why haven't you linked to GiveWell's report on the evidence for Deworming? Which of the claims that GiveWell makes in that document do you find to be clearly wrong?
That's actually completely inaccurate. Deworming and the worm wars is used as a classic example of science held back by poor disclosure. Why haven't I linked to GiveWell's report on deworming? Because anyone interested in this area would probably have been exposed to it and I'm not talking to the hundred people interested in EA vaguely, but the 10 or so who look deep into the evidence and methodology. Obliteration by incorporation.
