Doctors are repeatedly told statins are a necessity to avoid a heart attack. My own brother won't stop taking statins. I am a doctor, and that is still not enough. I doubt he would change his mind even if I were a cardiologist.

I heard statins are the most profitable drug in America and I think they want to keep it that way

They are number 2. Number 1 is a drug called Humira, which is a "miracle drug" used for treating autoimmune diseases, especially rheumatoid arthritis.

Look up the incidence rate of autoimmune disease on a historical chart btw. Everyone is bloody sick these days with one of these.

Yup, that's pretty much accurate. 1-2% of ALL women now have Hashimoto disease. If our hunter gatherers were as sick as we are today, we would have gone extinct a long time ago.
