Your statement is wildly inaccurate. You are parroting the official lies of Big Medicine. Actual rates of side effects are quite high. My own cardiologist told me he could not get out of a chair due muscle weakness on Lipitor. He had to change to Crestor. Yes, that is just one anecdote and doesn’t speak to your 5% claim but the point is, side effects of statins are COMMON.
“Your statement is wildly inaccurate.”
You’re misreading it. Virtually everyone who takes statins has side effects (caused me cataracts, caused a close friend diabetes...both effects were recently acknowledged, by they way). My point is just how out of control our drug industry is, when they can flat-out lie about drugs and not be stopped, since the only people who can stop them will be on their payroll.
