CrabMan631 Bogdan Thelast Stylebender The absolute rate of both harms and benefits would increase over time. With bempedoic acid the patients with die more since its absolute harms are greater than its absolute benefits. Simple arithmetic shows this as well. I’ve done my best, buddy.

Alzheimer’s specialists are too incompetent to see they’ll kill & harm but never help or cure with amyloid-removing tx. Ditto for lipidologists w/ evolocumab & bempedoic acid. So it’s not surprising purported AIDS specialists would’ve failed to see the danger of AZT & didanosine

David_1130 Biomass Bob bempedoic acid has never saved a life, will never save a life for the simple reason its absolute harms exceed its benefits. That’s why it’s important to pay attention to mortality. A significant effect in a bunch of things lumped together doesn’t help people who die more.
