Fales representation of my opinion on the matter,
Post# of 120156
No one disputes the risks/benefits associated with vaccines, prescription drugs or surgical procedures.
I prefer to consider actual scientific evidence for or against all of the above, NOT junk science seasoned with conspiracy theories.
That is an accurate statement of my position on the matter.
Where do you get a flew shot and does it enable you to actually fly?
Might want to post a link on your claim about flue shots, inflammation and CAD.
As far as i can read any inflammation associated with flu shots is transitory and can be treated with, surprise, anti-inflammatory meds, steroidal and non-steroidal.
Statins ARE anti-inflammatory as are DHA supplements. Calamari capsules, DHA-500, are my choice.

Statins also have anti-inflammatory effects, including reducing C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations (1). The effects of lowering low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol with statins may lead to anti-inflammatory actions because LDL cholesterol itself strongly promotes inflammation (2).Mar 5, 2019

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW:
Randomized trials have suggested that the beneficial effects of statins could extend to mechanisms beyond cholesterol reduction. Investigations have shown that statins are associated with reduced plasma markers of inflammation, reduced T-cell and monocyte activation, and reduced blood clotting.
These effects could be explained by the inhibition of L-mevalonic acid synthesis, thus affecting cell-signalling pathways. However, it has been difficult to evaluate whether the nonlipid effects of statins translate into clinically meaningful outcomes.
RECENT FINDINGS:
Inflammation, as measured by C-reactive protein (CRP), has been established as an independent cardiovascular risk factor, even in persons with low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol. Statins have anti-inflammatory effects, and lower CRP. Reducing both LDL-cholesterol and CRP is important in order to decrease the risk of cardiovascular events.
Statins significantly reduce the risk of venous thrombosis. It is probable that this effect goes beyond lipid lowering. The clinical benefit of statin therapy in infectious diseases remains to be determined by randomized controlled trials.
SUMMARY:
Statins have anti-inflammatory properties that are clinically important in lowering cardiovascular risk. It is probable, but not definitely proven, that some of the benefits of statins are due to their nonlipid effects.
