I do not see this study as supporting Statins but highly critical of how statistics have been manipulated to trick people and The medical world into believing Statins offer benefits to a greater number of people than they actually do!
The benefits appear to be to a far fewer number than the drug companies have claimed and the downsides far worse! Even the studies take maybe 2000 people and treat them as clones which of course they are not as are the reasons people may have elevated cholesterol ? So it is not clear on which specific people with what condition will benefit
We have to remember that it was not long ago that certain quarters where demanding that every healthy person over 50 should be put on Statins
I totally see your point that people with severe risk should have them as the better of two evils but as posted by many in this thread who have had very negative and damaging effects someone needs to come clean on these drugs for the confidence of the public.
