Let me explain further how we do it in medicine. There are no " Old " data in medicine other than in a temporal sense.There are only good data and bad data. Docs, ( like me, hemmm hmmm ), like to collect
" good data " only. This sometimes takes months other times years.
These " good data " in turn get collated into what we call " a publishable article" in a " worthy peer reviewed journal". If the article sustains peer review and criticism, then it is filed in the Library and becomes " a classic". Meaning it now gets to be quoted in all textbooks, textbooks are written based on THAT classic article, and it gets taught to medical students for the next 50 years, because human physiology and disease tend to remain the same over centuries.

Secondly, I am not slamming PFE. What I am tired off is the endless
Money being poured into marginal drugs, at great cost, to treat disease which by and large are due to one's own body abuse and which are better, more cheaply, treated by stopping one's body abuse, rather than raking up a 5 trillion deficit, borrow money from our unborn children, to pay for our body abuse. Does this make sense to you? Very often ED can be treated by, a) achieving Ideal Body weight, (defined as your weight on the day of your marriage) b) through diet and c) exercise, d) discontinuing smoking e) using alcohol in good moderation, and f) doing the above for 72 years of your life (3 score and 10). Then your children and grand children get to enjoy life without being burdened by confiscatory taxation to pay off grandpa's and grandma's raked up debt and medical needs piled up as a result of a flaccid,sedentary life style in front of the TVand too many trips to McDonald's,

Respectfully
