“So we gave aspirin, a baby aspirin, to people in the first two weeks after the death of their loved one and looked at whether that was cardioprotective, which of course it was because we understand how aspirin works. Now, the reason we need big studies is to make sure that there isn't some negative side that we would want to bar against, right?”
