Who is giving those horses lasix? You're the only one saying they are. Is that based upon your own personal experience with your own horses?

It is obvious to me these bleeding episodes don't do any long term damage to the horse. The facts don't lie.
The facts are that the veterinary scientific community says, repeatedly and with emphasis, that you are wrong. The veterinary community says that yes, Exercise-Induced Pulmonary Hemorrhage scars lungs and causes increasing and permanent damage over time.

No. The facts don't lie.

People who are non-scientifically oriented mistakenly think that simply saying something with conviction, and repeating it ever more loudly, makes something true. They are wrong. And it needs to stop.
