Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

Another reason why I am having a hard time trusting the Medical Industry...WARNING LONG POST AHEAD.

Went to my yearly checkup with my Heart Doc today, actually got to see my Doc this time instead of his assistant, it has been at least 3-4 years...My pressure was 126 over 80, my heart rate 74, EKG was good...Doc came in and looked at my blood work from May this year, Primary Care, he said we need to get your LDL down, it is 91 and would like to get it to 70. He mentioned a new Statin, which cost 4 times more, he wanted to put me on. Keep in mine 0-99 is the good range for Bad LDL, so I was happy to be at 91. But here we go, another Drug Pusher.

This brought up my question, hey Doc I actually would like to stop taking statins, read/heard way too many bad things about them. Of course he said no. So I asked the difference of the Statin I have been taking for at least a decade and this new one, he said the new drug was cleaner and better. ??? So we moved on to him wanting me to get blood work every 6 months, I asked why, he said incase something shows up bad about my liver, that is a statin concern. He said if they can catch the results early it will help them. So I asked what would ya'll do if results are bad. He said take me off of statins. What??? Haha, thanks Doc you gave me my answer...lol

After the visit, I called my wife and said I am stopping my statin Meds for the next 6 months until we see our Primary Care, I will check my LDL then.
 
So I asked what would ya'll do if results are bad
That is the question that they never want you to ask. So you want me to do tests, and there are two possible outcomes (good or bad), what will you do in each case. The answers are informative.
 
Ive had the same discussion with my doc. Originally about a year ago I told him I had quit taking them. he freaked. (5mg Rosuvastatin, Crestor) A week later Im getting text messages and emails from the drug insurance plan asking why I havent picked up my last batch of statins from the pharmacy!

So I pick them up, now (free) and they accumulate in the cabinet and when asked I tell 'em yep I take those. and they all seem happy
 
I quit statins about 10 years ago after taking them for about 10 years. Magically, depression I had been dealing with for those 10 years went away. I had never connected the depression but it does happen in some people with statins and/or low cholesterol. I've spent hundreds of hours reading, watching and listening to cardiologists and scientists speak about the causes of heart disease and it ain't cholesterol or fat. I went to a new doctor a year ago, he told me my cholesterol was high. I thought he was gonna have a stroke when I told him I wasn't concerned. I have always been a little sceptical of the medical industry but their reaction to covid has made me VERY sceptical. I know most of them are employees and have to fall in line or get fired or have their license revoked and they have families to support. There are good doctors out there but the medical community seems to be controlled by big pharma like the media.
 
Thanks guys for your responses. I now feel better about jumping off the Big Pharma wagon. I still take Lorsartan, for my blood pressure. Obviously it is working with my normal pressure. What put me in this position was a mild heart attack in 2000. Didn't even know I had one, I thought is was a bad case of heartburn. I do remember pain on both sides of the middle of my chest which normally it would be only the front. Two weeks later, I took my Moms advise and went to see her Cardiologist and the EKG showed it. This started my regiment of pills, never took any before this. I remember the little purple pill, Lipitor :)

Luck have it I ended up having a mini stroke (TIA) about 15 years later. Here again, thought it was an ear infection, I got dizzy and went to my knees. I have had many ear infections that makes the room spin.
Even drove 7 hours to South Padre on vacation the day after it happened. After about 3 days of major headaches persisting we cut our trip short and came home. Went to ENT to find nothing wrong, Doc suggested I see a Neurologist, what is that? lol He ordered an MRI, two weeks later, they found I actually had multiple strokes, ???, the Doc called the day of the results and ordered me to rush down to the hospital where they had setup me bypassing the waiting room and going straight in. I ended up staying over night being monitored, this was 3 weeks after my stroke, $60k bill for one night and I had no hookers :), only a nurse waking me hourly, haha. So fast forward, had a follow up MRI a year later and the tear in the vessel they found on the MRI had fully healed. Was told it looked like it may of been from an injury earlier in my life, I have had several neck issues over the years, did a lot of stupid things in my youth.

Sorry for the long post, but for me, the above seems mild. But to add, our family on my Moms side, has had heart issues, both grandparents, triple bypasses, but they were in their 70-80s and both had blood pressure issues and loved salt :)

All the above will give a Cardiologist all the ammo they need to push their drugs on you. Only way to tell if they work is to get off of them for a period of time, or at least this is my thought.
 
The wife shared a story her brother just told her, not sure when this happened but her brother had a friend start a new job which they mandated The Shot, the guy was hesitate and did not want to take The Shot, well he ended up taking it and died two weeks later.
 
Nothing to see here, just your government creating a bio-weapon they unleashed on the world...
Oh and look. It was designed and created at UNC Chapel Hill by Ralph Baric... huh.

Former CDC director claims that COVID-19 emanated from UNC-Chapel Hill​


The former director of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has made a direct accusation that COVID-19 was started in a lab at UNC-Chapel Hill by one of its researchers and not a lab in Wuhan, China.

He said the virus was ‘intentionally engineered as a part of a biodefense program’ and that the United States’ role in it was substantial.

“When you look at the accountability for China, their accountability is not in the lab work and the creation of the virus,” he told the podcaster. “Their accountability is not following the international health regulations after they realized that they had a problem and allowing people like me, at the CDC to come in and to help them within 48 hours like they were obligated to based on the treaty (The US) funded the research, both from NIH (National Institutes of Health) the State Department USAID and the Defense Department. All four of those agencies helped fund this research.”

He went on to say that the ‘scientific mastermind behind the research’ is Dr. Ralph Baric at UNC-Chapel Hill, who he says was very involved in this research.

“I think he probably helped create some of the original viral lines, but I can’t prove that, but he was very involved,” Redfield said. “I think there is a real possibility that the virus’s birthplace was Chapel Hill.”
