The post was talking about the side effects of the drug in question . As you pointed out to bolster my statement , nothing we use is without side effects it’s the degree of the damage vs the outcome of doing nothing that is in question with this drug . To me liver and kidney hits far outweigh death .
Knocking what down? If it worked, would they spend all this time and money looking for other drugs?
You keep missing the point. There's no evidence that death is being avoided by using the drug, there is evidence however of organ damage.
I don't understand why this is that hard to digest.
Also, side effects do not equate to "damage", in fact many drugs are prescribed off label because the side effects have intended effects elsewhere.

Some people have claimed that that particular drug saved their lives. Here's just one, whatever.How would you go about collecting that evidence?
We won the war of independence against the British giving me the right to say the damn word however I want.Hoad's etymology gives 'whilst' as a derivation of 'whiles', an adverbial form of 'while'. The 't' on the end is parasitic (cf. among~amongst, amid~amidst, etc.). 'Whilst' started to be used as a conjunction, equivalent to 'while', in the 13th century.
In modern British English, 'whilst' is supposedly a more formal variant of 'while'. It is also, in my experience, particularly beloved of students who write bad essays.

I know how but they chose to do the study at the VA instead of at the hospitals using it .
It's a legitimate question. I don't know how evidence that a drug prevents death could be collected.
A guy given the drug might have lived without it so no evidence. A guy dies after taking it does it prove it doesn't prevent death?
