Biomaven--My wife was helped by Vioxx and the replacement, for her, seems less effective. My review of the data from secondary sources (newspapers etc) suggests that the entire cardiac effect can be due to the cessation of aspirin among Vioxx users. Aspirin, as we all know, has a cardio-protective effect.

Hs anyone been closer to the data so this alternative hypothesis can be eliminated. I don't want hysteria (e.g., silicon transplants,DDT is a carcinogen) to prevail over good data.
