7. I work in clinical data management

While I'm by no means an expert, the 'twice as many heart attacks' could mean that out of 800 subjects, 400 who took it and 400 who didn't, 2 in the Celebrex group had heart attacks and 1 in the control group had it. Those numbers are probably off, but there is no way to know without seeing the actual data about it. Clinical trials are interesting stuff to try to really evaluate which factors are causal and which are just correlated...
