Ann: Mesoblast Partners with BMT CTN on Adult SR-aGVHD Trial, page-114

“There are three kinds of lies: Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics” — ex-British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli, via Mark Twain.

A poorly designed, run and controlled RCT no better than limp 'no brand' rich tea biscuits with your cup of tea.

Fauci of course popularised RCT's as the gold standard of statistics as he had bubble heads saying 'my Gran got good results from injecting bleach into her eye'.

Some of the down-rampers on these threads wouldn't comprehend heterogeneity from homogeneity. Alas a few professionals struggle too. That the DMSB in the NIH RCT on COVID did not change the study as the standard of care for the control group massively changed with increased 'proning' of patients and use and method of use of dexamethasone (use in hypoxic vs non-hypoxic for example), nasal cannula oxygen vs invasive mechanical ventilation, plasma use, etc. etc.

We wuz' robbed MSB should have cried, and possibly many families too, if they were not ignorant of the promising treatment that directly helped the body regulate the unequivocally COVID induced damaging cytokine storms, of the victims own dis-regulated immuno-inflammatory response system that killed so many.

The media will sometimes pick up the less credible approvals by the FDA, but never pick up credible ones lost to poor trials.
