Sir Rory Collins and the Commercial Capture of Statin Data
Professor Sir Rory Collins is considered one of the lead statin researchers in the world. His department has taken well over £200 million of research funding from statin companies. He basically said that their studies didn't show that significant degree of side effects. The rule of thumb now is, any industry-sponsored study should be seen as marketing until proven otherwise. If every doctor and member of the public knew that, I think we would practice a lot better medicine.
