They were also supposed to be entirely safe. The usual story from the Conventional Medical Establishment, of course.

What is being alleged with the Statin trials is that the drug was better, and safer than actually was the case.

This is not an unusual, one off situation. For more information about how information about drugs, their effectiveness and safety, are foisted on an unsuspecting public, look at
