That was a randomized controlled trial.
I don't recall a spate of lawsuits, fearmongers and handwringing headlines about safety then.
Maybe it was all in the delivery. The WHI results were released responsibly and were followed up to allow tailoring of treatment based on new research.
The Nissen data dredging was like shouting death in a crowded doctor's office.
