Statins have such across the board benefits that a few years ago the govt wanted to recommend that everyone take them whether they had cholesterol issues or not.

I favor lifestyle changes as the first therapy, but the erroneous conclusion that statins are dangerous is simply wrong and suggests an agenda since medicine already recognized their great usefulness.

And I won’t debate vaccines either. Stupid nonsense not worth my time.

Virtually all drugs have side effects.

The muscle wasting and joint problems from statins are real for some people. They also block your body from making Co-Q10, so you have to supplement just to be a bit safer under statins.

“Stupid nonsense not worth my time.”

I actually envy your position. There is a drug available for everything nowadays, just view some TV or Internet advertising if you don’t believe it. If I was like you I would trust new pills to solve all of my (many) problems with confidence that my “doctors” and government are carefully monitoring everything for me. Must be nice.
