Anthony, this is a very significant sentence from the rehashed article you just posted; "The risk of heart attack from having sex is generally low -- only about about 20 cases per million". The point that is important here is that the death rate reported by Pfizer is significantly less than the natural death rate. Pfizer reports that they only know of 6 cases in one million that have died over one month . One could conclude from this that either PFE does not know about the other 14 or so deaths, or that Viagra helps decrease the death rate. The point is, from a statistical point of view, 6 men dying out of a million means nothing. If one million men have sex during the month of May, about 20 will die, regardless of whether they are on any medication or not.
