E-cigarette use is associated with cardiovascular disease... in the same way that statins cause myocardial infarction!!

Sure sounds like cherry picking data to fit his desired narrative. Good on them for calling him out....the study itself HAD DATA on the temporality of events and in fact most e-cigarette users had (sic) initated use AFTER they developed a myocardial infarction. Strangely, Prof Glantz and his colleagues failed to examine and report this information.
I spent seconds and seconds to come up with that new word..The bit I like is the making up whole new words.
Glantzily.
Is this a misspelling or was it made up to mean something?
I can understand how someone could skim it, misunderstand, and take it the wrong way.The starting quote is I think the killer here
“E-cigarette use is associated with cardiovascular disease... in the same way that statins cause myocardial infarction!!”
statins are used to prevent heart attacks. Which is what a myocardial infarction is.
This is the obfusticated bit. Use of industrial jargon that actually means something other than implied
So what it really says is “e-cigarettes have the same chance of giving you a heart attack as drugs designed to prevent heart attacks”
So slim to none. Yet it is presented in a way that implies the reverse. Classic BS. That cigarette companies do not have the best interests of people at heart and will mislead and lie to advance their own agenda should not be news.

I don’t think we disagree.I can understand how someone could skim it, misunderstand, and take it the wrong way.
In the title of the article (similar to the title of this thread) the author was being cute with words while also heavily criticizing Glantz.
I took the title ("E-cigarette use is associated with cardiovascular disease... in the same way that statins cause myocardial infarction!!") to mean "it's only associated as much as a statin!! (because Glantz deliberately ignored and misrepresented data to fit his desired outcome)."
Hope that makes sense.
I don't think we do either.I don’t think we disagree.
