 "Medical terrorism. This ad appeared in Canadian publications in 2002. An example of propaganda by the big lie. Pfizer must have spent many millions of dollars on just this one ad. The implication is clear, you will not die as long as your blood "cholesterol" is low and you had better take a statin for it if it isn't."[1] | |

Statins are a class of lipid-lowering medications that are sold to lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke. They are the most common cholesterol-lowering drugs.[2]
Among other effects, for patients with mild cognitive impairment, taking lipophilic statins more than doubles their risk of developing dementia compared to those who do not take statins.[3]
With millions of prescriptions every year since 1996, Pfizer’s anti-cholesterol drug atorvastatin (Lipitor) is still going strong over 20 years later. Although Lipitor’s patent expired in 2011, it is still the most prescribed anti-cholesterol medication in the world. In 15 years (1996 – 2011) of market dominance, Lipitor made USD 125 billion in sales, becoming the best-selling drug in the history of the pharmaceutical industry[4] until RNA vaccines came along.
