The question isn't about probablilites. You certainly are pugnacious! The
question was: are there comparable studies and data (pro or con)that have
been done on pantethine (for this example) to those done on statins.
Clearly the answer is "no". Naturally, anyone can make any conclusion based
on anything, of course and you certainly have that right. I suggest that,
based on what you say, perhaps you make it a bit more clear that you're
expressing your point of view, rather than statements based on scientific
data (that does not exist).
