If Toto Wolff gives a contract to Russell instead of Bottas for 2022, and then Hamilton retires, what happens next?
a) Ocon is already locked with Alpine till 2024

b) Lando is locked with McLaren

c) Leclerc and Sainz are unlikely to move out of Ferrari

d) If Max wins his maiden title with Red Bull, he is unlikely to leave the seat
They can retain Bottas, but after the humiliation will he stay ? Perhaps he would, but what if he decides to move on. Williams may potentially be more competitive next year
There are two potential options...
1. Pierre Gasly

- He has no future in the Red Bull universe
- He is in brilliant form in recent times
- He might have an axe to grind with Red Bull and hence potentially give valuable insights to Totos most fierce rival
2. Nico Hülkenberg

- Currently out of racing
- Has a point to prove
- Experienced and solid driver
- Has a history with Mercedes
- Fan-favorite
Other options could include Romain Grosjean (he is cozying up to Mercedes isn't he) or even Kevin Magnussen.

Perez! - Remember he just has one year contract with Red Bull

Q1. Do statins reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke ?

"Statin therapy significantly reduces the incidence of major vascular events and vascular mortality in a wide range of people."
"Reduction of LDL cholesterol using statin therapy reduces all-cause mortality by about one tenth for each 1 mmol/L (39 mg/dl) reduction in LDL cholesterol, principally reflecting a significant reduction in vascular mortality."

Ref: cttcollaboration.org/efficacy-web-p…
Q2. Does more intensive LDL reduction with more dose of statin or with more powerful statins have incremental benefit ?

"Further reductions in LDL cholesterol produce definite further reductions in the incidence of major vascular events"

If you want to look about the use of Statins (Cholesterol lowering medications) to prevent heart attack and stroke, you don't need to look beyond the series of excellent meta-analysis conducted by the "Cholesterol Treatment Trialists' Collaboration"

This GIF sums up everything nicely. It tells us three things

1. Statins work
2. More LDL reduction - lower the risk of heart attack, stroke etc
3. More statins/ more powerful statins- more LDL reduction Image

Let us answer all the questions asked by this Dhongi Baba. I will try and answer 1 or 2 questions every day for the benefit of the general public. Please share so that the falsehood of this person is exposed on a daily basis.

Answer 1:

First, there is nothing like "Allopathy". Allopathy is a term used by the

Wikipedia says

"The terms were coined in 1810 by the inventor of homeopathy, Samuel Hahnemann. It was originally used by 19th-century homeopaths as a derogatory term for heroic medicine"
Q. What is "Heroic medicine" ?

"Heroic medicine was based on the belief that disease is caused by imbalance among the four "humours" (blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile) and sought to treat disease symptoms by correcting that imbalance"

a) They are part of the cell membrane
b) they act as hormones or signaling molecules in living things

This thread will tell you how Quackery works...
Step 1: Quacks understand the market needs. If patients find oncology treatment painful and expensive, they will 'create' a product for cancer. Quacks understand entrepreneurship
Step 2: Once the "area of need" is identified, quack delivers a product that is relatively cost-effective (and largely ineffective). It could be a mixture of "herbs", "natural product", some fancy-sounding "diet"
