I was on the fence for decades about statins; but now that they're on the 4$ list at Walmart, I feel slightly more comfortable saying that statins are a miracle drug. They talked a big game but have actually been able to back it up.

Reversing atherosclerotic plaque deposition is probably one of the very few major medical breakthroughs of my lifetime. Your cholesterol numbers are not really relevant, we are all at risk of heart disease here in burger kingdom. If you're over 40 you should probably be on a statin.

Coenzyme Q10 on the other hand, I'm pretty sure is complete horseshit but boy do the cardiologists love to talk about it.

If you have to tell people the economy is doing well, it's not. Just fyi libs

Again this is very simply not true. You are imagineering, not objectively looking at data. Which countries specifically do you see doubling life span? I'm not seeing it.

Ok? It's still not true, this is just classic ignorant neoliberal propaganda. Even your own source doesn't support this, unless you go well into the 1800s.

The AMA is run by insurance companies and hospitals, most physicians have never belonged to it

They claimed it's a chatbot after it did exactly what every other arm of Israeli propaganda was doing, that is hardly evidence of anything

Edit: and not screening your Twitter chatbot's output is just as bad as tweeting it yourself
