Thanks for the analysis! I only skimmed it so far, but I was wondering whether you have any thoughts on the possible intervention of advancing statins and PCSK9-inhibitors, making them much cheaper and more widely distributed? I have encountered a few maximalists dreaming of “putting them in the tap water”.
There is also a lot of hype around PCSK9 gene therapy.
Hi Max. Haven’t looked at advancing the effectiveness of statins and other medication, but it’s certainly an interesting idea—potentially worth looking at one day. (Would not recommend dumping them in tap water, though—there are significant side-effects, unlike fluoride!)
