And this is why your doctor, paradoxically from YOUR point of view, is right:
All of the risk factors, precurors listed? Most have come to light in recent decades and after the damage had been done.
So you'd better decrease the supply of cholesterol that is incresing the plaque lesions.
Studies are incresingly showing that lowering cholestrol in the blood stream can result in leaching of plaque from the artery wall.
Statins also soften plaque lesions so that they become less likely to break off and cause a blockage.
Statins are atiinflammatory as well.
So blanket statements like 'your doctor is wrong' are..............wrong.

Once the artery is damaged, cholesterol-rich plaque begins to build up as a protective mechanism. Problems arise when the rate of damage and resultant blood clot formation outpace or outstrip your body’s ability to repair

Beneficial Cardiovascular Pleiotropic Effects of Statins

Pleiotropic effects of statins include improvement of endothelial dysfunction, increased nitric oxide bioavailability, antioxidant properties, inhibition of inflammatory responses, and stabilization of atherosclerotic plaques.
These and several other emergent properties could act in concert with the potent low-density lipoprotein cholesterol-lowering effects of statins to exert early as well as lasting cardiovascular protective effects. Understanding the pleiotropic effects of statins is important to optimize their use in treatment and prevention of cardiovascular disease.
