text: I am certainly not suggesting that we put statins in the drinking water.  All therapy should be directed to people at significant risk to warrant the risk of the treatments.  Heart and stroke is the number one killer for most adults.  There are many people who benefit from taking statins.  I never said it was for everyone.  But others have made general statements herein that they are of no benefit or as you seem to suggest, do not have enough benefit to warrant their usage.  There are many selected people (you may not be one) who benefit and this data is highly compelling.  You are selected the lowest possible risk patients from the study and suggesting this applies to everyone.  Not correct.  Relative risk and odds ratios are an excellent way to analyze and compare data.  I do agree that in low risk patients for primary prevention there is much weaker evidence.  But also this group by statistical power will also be the most difficult group to prove a difference.
