You are looking at science brought to you by the same sort of folks who
opposed fluoridation of drinking water. They have an agenda, they care
little about whether or not science supports that agenda, and they're simply
sticking to the agenda.

The philosophy of at least one of those folks who posts here is amazingly
immoral: my husband may have been injured by a combination of statins and
poor doctoring, therefore I will mount a campaign to do whatever I can to
scare people away from statins and if possible, to make bringing every new
drug to market as costly and as difficult as possible.
