RE: “Promising results” is not the same as saving lives.
Sure, but “Promising results” also means that IT ACTUALLY WORKED for small number of people.
It also means we don’t abandon the protocol and OUGHT TO TRY IT.
If Kobe Bryant ( who wasn’t that good in his first few years in the NBA ) showed “promise”, what do you do?
Do you simply leave him benched, or do you try him out?
So it saved lives? Decreased mortality? What study is that? I’d love to see it.
