That stack yesterday has given my husband pause concerning the statin lies. I can be grateful to MWD if my hubby makes changes.

Has anyone figured out who this doc is? Why can’t we know who he is? I hesitate on being a paid subscriber. I would like to know whose work I’m contributing to. And I’m a bit irked that he has information we should know, but aren’t allowed to know unless you pay for it. Then why not write books to purchase?

you are aware that many dissenting Naturapaths, for instance, have lost their lives in interesting ways, right?

Enough that he , or she delivers good info.

I don't begrudge MWD's desire to remain anonymous given the current climate. Yes, some articles are pay-walled, but he/she offers SO much free content which is worth your time. I am reading an article he/she wrote on the importance of natural light which is just fascinating. Even with the paid content, he/she makes the bulk of the article available.

Have your husband read "The Clot Thickens" by Dr. Malcolm Kendrick. After finishing it, I said to my husband, "you will never go on statins."

I just read something yesterday that said they are now admitting at least half of the people who currently take statins don't need to. Make that 100% and it will be better!

I'm guessing what you read was about this new calculator the American Heart Association designed.

It puts my "risk of cardiovascular death" quite a bit lower (as in not a risk) than whatever my pesky doc uses when he pushes me to take statins.

He won’t listen to me about it.

My RN wife still believes in the cholesterol scam.

She lost her most beloved grandmother to heart disease right as she was beginning her nursing career, and was absolutely convinced the lack of a statins Rx was the cause.

Not all healthcare professionals are wise or discerning.

My dad won’t either. So sad and frustrating. Must be worse having a husband like that. If docs would stop lying to patients and scaring them, our loved ones might listen to us.

Karen, I'd bet most of the docs aren't lying; they just don't know, because they accept what they're taught, and those who question the orthodoxy are sidelined.

I sadly see this in my own family- 2 MDs, one RN. I used to send info (to the 2 MDs, the RN is a lost cause). Never any unsolicited response. I sent a Dr Ryan Cole talk very early on- finally asked what do you think? One replied “he is a compelling speaker”. Months later and much more info, the other stated “it’s all a bit much to process”. That ended my trying. My oldest brother and I have been on the same page since day 1. He recently emailed an article to the other 3 of us (the RN was excluded). A few days later I asked him if there’d been any response? I won’t quote him, suffice it to say that was a no. Someone yesterday asked for help in the comments for studies/articles best to send a daughter vaccinating his grandchildren. All I could think was the indoctrinated brain is hopeless.

To be fair, we won't listen to their reasoning pro-vax and pro-Biden either, hahaha.

True, but willful ignorance is no excuse. “I didn’t know—I was just doing my job” won’t cut it anymore after Nuremberg.

That wasn't the issue in Nuremberg - they *did* know, but were "just doing their jobs." I bet you, and all of us, have excused *ourselves* for not knowing what we didn't know, not about this issue, necessarily, but about something. "Forgive us our debts, AS WE FORGIVE OUR DEBTORS." Don't be surprised what happens to hard hearts, in the end.

I would give him grace but having a hard time. My elderly parents took the shots because of him. They read Epoch times and we discussed it a lot and they knew they were dangerous but he said they were safe. So they took the first two.

I think it's okay to feel anger. I hope the doc ever learns what he did and reaches out to apologize to his patients for his own blind acceptance of what he was told.
