And every visit to the doctor they want to try to put you on a statin. The road goes on for ever and the party never ends for big pharma.
I went to see my Dr re a sinus issue, 2 mins into the consult, she spots my cholesterol numbers and visibly gets excited and starts with the neurotic "OMG you could drop dead with a heart attack" fear manipulation. I had to ask her twice if cholesterol could be a causal factor with my sinus issue before she would go back to the problem I came to see her for.
If I could find a trustworthy Dr I would change but any good Drs got taken out of practice during Covid.
The incentives for getting people on statins must be astronomical.
I am on Medicare and I was told the doctors practicing that take Medicare are required to ask to take a statin, and they are required to ask you to take a flu shot.
Those the blindly follow their advice are just taking what every big pharma is pumping. It is all about the money. People have to learn how to take care of their own health, and stop trusting money grubbing corporate incentives to be in their best interests.
