"it was established several years ago that that aspirin is a cause of Reyes syndrome (a fatal liver disease) in children who take aspirin when they have influenza. The only way to assess this was to compare the incidence of Reyes syndrome in children with influenza who took aspirin during their illness with those who didn't. "
Yeah. That's science.

This is the equivalent of comparing children with influenza who took aspirin during their illness with characters in kids' books with influenza who took aspirin during their illness...

The test group in this idiotic exercise in sophistry was never born. It's preposterous and offensive to speculate what they might or might not have done if they had.

You might as well speculate that we don't dominate the Olympics because "athletes" have been aborted. It's both offensive AND idiotic...
