@pbyrne82 @MaryanneDemasi @NICEComms Of course, many statin trials were done when CV risks were far higher than they are now. So, all figures on benefit will also be far higher. Divide by, about, four.

If a person at 10% risk of heart disease takes statins their risk of all-cause death drops to 9.1%, their risk of heart attack drops to 7.1% and of stroke to 8.6%. At 5% risk those figures drop to 4.55%, 3.55% & 4.3% Is this the best way to spend scarce resources? @NICEComms

OMG 😆

And so, after only thirty short years of research, my book on heart disease is finally finished, and is published today. I've written a short blog about it here.. drmalcolmkendrick.org/2021/11/04/the…

@RoseARosey @Conservatives The problem is that the other political parties seems to want even more freedom destroying tyranny. From what I can gather

@thismorning @sara_kayat This truly is an amazing statistic, considering the AZ trial was not designed with hospitalisation, or death, as measurable end points, and it is not due to complete under February 2023 clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04…

'After 12 days from the first vaccination of the AstraZeneca vaccine, you are 100% effective against hospitalisation and death' @sara_kayat shares this amazing statistic with us, which you may not have heard yet.

@profnfenton @theoremoftheday People really hate it when someone tries to establish the monetary value of a human life. Of course that is not what QALYs are really about. They are about equitable allocation of resources. What is currently happening, is that most people are happy to allocate infinity to COVID.

@theoremoftheday @malcolmken Yes that is an important difference if the normal NICE costings do not take any account of the non-NHS aspects. But the point is that these costs do need to be considered.

This article by @malcolmken raises important questions about the cost/value of #COVID19 interventions that few seem to be talking about drmalcolmkendrick.org

@toadmeister I think I fully agree with your analysis.

Under attack we all lash out. The mainstream is under attack on nutrition, as it should be. Sixty years of nonsense does take a long time to unpick, however.

@drjasonfung Jason, the war has truly begun. The war between vegans and science. I'm backing vegans in the short term. They have gained the moral high ground. Longer term, it is up to all scientists to get together and get the truth out there.

Oh, I get it now. Mogul funds EAT Lancet study to tell poor people to eat dirt so moguls can private jet around the world. Seems fair.....

Truth will be the first casualty of this new war. The war between vegans and science.

@jimmy_wales This war is not over! By next month have a look on Google for Kendrick, Zoe Harcombe, Aseem etc There will be MORE criticism on wikis that are indexed high by Google trafficking. Wikipedia is NOT the only website we control. We will CRUSH LCHF.

@DietHeartNews I like your blog. It made me smile. Unfortunately, facts are completely useless against the diamond hard carapace of dogma that has developed over the years. Believe me, I know.

HEADLINE: "Low-Carb Diets May Not Be Healthy in the Long Run" For 2 million years, humans had been eating - nose-to-tail - animal fat & protein - giving us mobility/large brains. In the Short Run - since 1980 - how is "Anti-Fat = Good Health" doing?

@EricTopol @MaryanneDemasi @AnnalsofIM @UZH_en @MiloPuhan In my opinion, a single prescription for primary prevention would represent significant over- prescribing.

The problem for statins for primary prevention of heart disease: they are significantly over-prescribed annals.org/aim/article-ab… @AnnalsofIM by @UZH_en @MiloPuhan et al

Thank you Nina. See I can tweet after all. I have resisted getting drawn into vortex up to now

@jimmy_wales @ketorick @screenack @livinlowcarbman @MariaEmmerich I was deleted, many others supporting high fat diets are under attack. Here is what a visitor to my blog had to say. ' MCE is an absolute legend for deleting various low-carb cranks from Wikipedia, I fully support him and we will utilize other wikis to debunk LCHF nonsense.'

@ketorick @screenack @livinlowcarbman @MariaEmmerich @malcolmken I am afraid you don't understand how deleting works. It isn't up to admins except in a purely technical sense. It is an open process. I never heard of @malcolmken so I can't comment on that specific case without research.

There’s a movement actively afoot on wikipedia right now to remove any page from leaders in the #lowcarb #highfat #ketogenic community that are deemed unfit by the editorial staff.… instagram.com/p/BrdBrgRAjKy/…

Diverting slightly from my usual posts, please everyone vote for this amazing girl @mennaandjen I've known her for years and she is a seriously inspirational woman #goldmedal #paralymlicchampion twitter.com/SportswomenSky…

@ProfDFrancis And that was from the BMJ BTW.

@ProfDFrancis 6 studies for primary prevention and 5 for secondary prevention with a follow-up between 2.0 and 6.1 years were identified...The median postponement of death for primary and secondary prevention trials were 3.2 and 4.1 days, respectively. bmjopen.bmj.com/content/5/9/e0…

@ProfDFrancis That would be from the Cochrane Collaboration BTW.
