> I started by quoting his "extremely rare" and replying "Is it?" (as is "is that really extremely rare" because he is as he writes "incredibly annoyed" in his comment to dexamethasone effects) and showed the numbers.

He said "strokes are extremely rare", you showed numbers on ICU admissions. Those are obviously two very different things.

> Note that it was never about "strokes" alone, which was your original claim, but about dexamethasone.

The words "extremely rare" only appear in conjunction with strokes. The word "organ damage" also appears later, as "not significant quantities", which is still different. Dexamethasone does not appear in the comment at all.

I don't know where to go from here. This seems to be the hill you want to die on. May you rest in peace.
