The author counters the doctorsβ belief by concluding that the drug has no effect on vertigo duration. She supports this by pointing to a phenomenon where, for the three months that people were forced to go without the drug, there was no significant change in vertigo duration.
The authorβs only support comes from this three-month phenomenon. She expected, if the drug were helping vertigo duration, to have seen a significant change. This must be true for her conclusion to be supported by her premises.
