Not only that; you have to treat hundreds of men over 65 who've had a heart attack and who have documented blockages to prevent one single death in this group.

Problem is that cancers increase in frequency when the elderly are treated with statins, among other things.

Someone we both know who works in a nursing home says they see a LOT of statin crippled old folks being wheeled in with rhabdomyelosis.
