Vince,

What do you propose for women who are at high cardiovascular risk? Do
you propose that none of these women be prescribed statins, or would
you allow any exceptions? Would you advocate not permitting statins
to be prescribed to such women even if they want to take one?

I'm not on a statin currently, because to the best of my knowledge I
am not at high risk of a heart attack currently. If I ever did decide
to take a statin, however, I sure as hell wouldn't ask your opinion
first.
