The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
he said no it's actually sudden death — the last thing I read suggested slightly fewer than 50% of people's first Mi will be a fatal one
the other statistic that I've that I've shared before but again it always Bears repeating is that if you take all of the men who are going to suffer a major adverse cardiac event so heart attack uh inclusive of stroke cardiac death Etc you take that whole group of men and that's a pretty big number 50% of them will experience their first event before the age of 65 and 33% of women in the same boat will experience their first event before the age of 65
