I, Dr Malcolm Kendrick, with or without other co-conspirators, would be accused of spreading misinformation about cholesterol and statins. This misinformation would have resulted in many thousands of people giving up their medication and suffering heartattacks and strokes as a result. Why do these attacks happen?
It emerged that Barney Calman was very keen to find case histories where people had stopped taking statins and then suffered a catastrophic event, such as a heartattack or stroke, or dying.
