You can have mine. Have they shown any reduction in overall mortality?

Why does medicine ignore science, just to make companies a lot of money.

They are wonder drugs. They make trillions without helping patients. They cause doctors to pay attention to tests that don’t have scientific support.

“Statins are truly wonder drugs. Should be available OTC for free”.

My Cardiologist (a teaching professor in Miami) was thrilled by a Scandinavia-wide human study of statin-drug recipients. That was 35 years ago, beginning with Mevacor.

Now at 80 y-o, I’m on maximum Atorvastatin, and still going strong. Just one LAD stent five years ago.
