Caveat, I certainly do not know the correct answer. Just have reasons to doubt that mortality has been reduced when data stratified, in the absence of such data.

BTW this item is of concern for all. Fraud in clinical testing. Perhaps Blugreen is right. The FDA should only test for safety. There is too much to keep track of when efficacy also needs to be proved.
If trials were run for safety only the data load would go down and it would be easier to audit results.
