Thanks for your replies my friend. Here are some statin and cholesterol-related links that may be of interest. Please take a moment to read the following links with an open mind:

(if the preceding NYTimes article entitled " Statins May Increase Risk of Diabetes " is behind a paywall, here's a link to the study that the article references: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30838685/ )
Craig - before you ad hominem attack Dr. Cate and the below links (sort of like how you attacked Dr. Sinatra by calling him a "nut job" rather than actually reading his bestselling book), it's worth noting that Dr. Cate (another bestselling author) was the nutritionist for the LA Lakers and also worked with Kobe Bryant one-on-one:
"“…We trust Dr. Cate implicitly...” –Kobe Bryant, LA Lakers"

...And now back to Leronlimab's potential role in fighting heart disease (vis-a-vis tamping down inflammation):
"It’s rampant inflammation that causes heart attacks, not high cholesterol,” says Ronesh Sinha, M.D., an internal medicine doctor at the Palo Alto Medical Foundation. “In fact, more than half of all heart attacks occur in people who have normal cholesterol levels. Many of those people were diligently taking their cholesterol medications, but still doing things that can contribute to inflammation, including eating the wrong foods, overstressing, sitting too much, and accumulating ever more belly fat.”
“If you want to keep your heart healthy and prevent a heart attack, you need to protect your arteries from inflammation,” he says.

Thanks again for your replies Craig. It's worth reiterating that calling Dr. Sinatra a "nut job" and trashing his bestselling book without reading it isn't the best way to make your point. Perhaps in the future you can refrain from utilizing the following (aforementioned) tactic:
Ad hominem (Latin for 'to the person'), short for argumentum ad hominem, refers to several types of arguments that are fallacious. Often nowadays this term refers to a rhetorical strategy where the speaker attacks the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument rather than the substance of the argument itself. This avoids genuine debate by creating a diversion often using a totally irrelevant, but often highly charged attribute of the opponent's character or background. The most common form of this fallacy is "A" makes a claim of "fact", to which "B" asserts that "A" has a personal trait, quality or physical attribute that is repugnant thereby going off-topic, and hence "B" concludes that "A" has their "fact" wrong - without ever addressing the point of the debate.
P.S. Regarding CYDY and Leronlimab... I remain... #BULLISH!
