This study was for folks over age 70. The headline should say this. Otherwise it deceives the public. We can suppose of course that these findings results would be less and less significant as the studied ages were lower. That matters to those interested in paying attention to public health policy.

Please get better at directing your headlines to the actual topic, in this case, those over 70 and Their outcomes, especially weighted with co-morbidities. PLEASE.

Thank you.
