"The reports of 30 deaths is not a controlled study; it is possible that the 30 men would have died anyway."

Most certainly, as this is less than the natural death rate. If more people don't die with Viagra in their systems, then we have a very wonderful medication that not only helps men with a problem that has been very difficult to treat prior to Viagra, but also decreases the death rate.

At this point, the deaths by themselves do not mean anything. The percentage of deaths of people taking Viagra is lower than the natural death rate. There has been no cause and effect shown. Chances are, those people would have died without Viagra, except for the few that erroneously combined Viagra with nitrates.
