1/ this one minute clip was released by @chadinabhan an hour ago, and when I watched it I got a bit concerned that it takes a clip out of context and DMed Chadi about it.

He rightly pointed out my reaction was misplaced as this was strictly a teaser.

2/ However, this did provide me an opportunity to expand on the point, given I understand where @ethanjweiss would feel this was “meaningful”.

In our exchange from several months ago (too lazy to link), Ethan pressed as to whether I’d take a statin post heart attack…

3/ I said then (and I’ll say today) – I don’t know, but I feel it would be irresponsible for me to say one way or another.

But what came up in this podcast, is it would be meaningful to Ethan if I pointed out that post MI-research I’d see a scenario where I would.

4/ In other words, should someone take my “I don’t know, I’d need to research were that to happen”

as a

“I’m pretty sure I’d never take a statin, I don’t see any scenario where I would.” 👈 no! This is definitely not my position.

5/ I would research the data, look at it vs the context I was in, and all options would be on the table. It’s quite possible that I would conclude it would be appropriate for me to take a statin (and/or other Rx). But I don’t know. (Again, it would depend on the context emerging)

6/ I went ahead and also did a seven minute video on this for Instagram…

Hopefully given all of this, you have a very strong idea on where I stand.
