do you have sources for these claims? would you like to compare the numbers?
Im a doctor, i use these numbers in practice all the time without thinking of them per se apart from reading updates on guidelines whenever they pop up. I delegate crunching the numbers to researchers and epidemiologists, that's what they're paid to do. I wouldnt have time to do the patient work if i would do their job on top of it and vice versa. No, i dont have time look for the sources for you, nor do i have the access to the databases while im not at work.
And im not discussing vaccines with you, im sorry. Youre the one claiming they dont work against a vast consensus of theur efficacy and safety. The burden of proof is on you. You seem to have enough time to do your research.

Right, I had read an article regarding his death that said he had no prior history of hypertension. That’s why I suggested it might not be related to his gear. And in the same article, they suggested that he’d cycled off and was on a normal TRT dose.
E; this is completely hearsay.
No prior history =/= no illness (around 20% of coronary heart disease cases present as sudden death on first onset, for example), but it doesnt make it more likely that his BP wasnt elevated. But yeah, it doesn't really matter why his aneurysm ruptured or the aneurysms of anyone else. All that matters is reducing the risk of it tearing an already existing one and preventing the formation of new ones, and unfortunately avoiding steroids is one such measure when we speak from a strictly medical perspective.
Im speculating as well, on his case. Where im from guidelines point toward steroids increasing blood pressure (through extra hemoglobin and viscocity, and through pathological cardiac hypertrophy) so that's why i brought it up.
