K Walt,

I couldn't agree more.

Your post amplified my comment that this latest announcement is bullcookies. Indeed, I was just thinking this morning that "They will not give it [statins], unless they see themselves getting sued for using statins."

I went to www.lipitor.com to see whether you were correct about the warning that "It has not been shown to prevent heart disease or heart attacks." What you say is precisely true. Moreover, you can copy text from much of that website, but try copying the test of the warning to the clipboard on your computer.
