Yes, that is my opinion. The JAMA meta study that came out in the spring of 2022 really showed that while the relative reduction in the use of statins towards cardiovascular disease looked promising, the absolute does not. This is a huge hot button for cardiologists, as it has been their frontline tool, and accepting that it is not working to the extent that they have believed, and it is a hard pill to swallow.
I remember when it was first suggested that H.Pylori was responsible for ulcers, not diet and stress! My god, the entire field lit on fire that they had been wrong for so long.
When I went symptomatic with my Celiac Disease in my early 30s, the common belief was that the disease was a rare 1 in 10,000, not the 1 in 100 we know today.
It is a hard thing to get doctors to accept change.
But check around and form your own conclusions. My diseases, Celiac and Sjogrens, puts me at an extreme disadvantage for tolerating medications, and therefore I need to be looking at alternative methods to lower my risk other than statins. The doc at Cleveland did agree that I have a horrible track record for medication tolerances and advised working towards an injectable. "Working towards" because it has to be proven to the health insurance company that normal means have been exhausted---proof of intolerance.
