“in your own imaginary example study”
Again, I’m not offering an imaginary example study. I am Explaining how it could be possible that less people get hospitalized but the same number of people die (which is all you can take out if the study assuming it had no other problems)
“did not help them and you cannot assume that.”
I am not assuming that.
Dr zelenkoxs study did not show a statistical significant benefit with regard to mortality (as the study acknowledges) period. This is not in dispute. No assumption needed.
I’m not sure why you are having a hard time with this. You quoted the line twice in your response
