Which of the following is the main conclusion of the argument?
- Aspirin has no effect on the risk of dangerous blood clots in healthy adults.
- For adults who have never had a heart attack, taking daily aspirin is not worthwhile.
- Serious bleeding is a more common medical problem than dangerous blood clots.
- Adults who have already had a heart attack should take daily aspirin.
