This is great news for Big Pharma. The Left used to hate Big Pharma until they realized that if they could send enough taxpayer dollars their way then Big Pharma would support theri socialist agenda. Now the Old Media, the propaganda arm of The Left, is even giving Big Pharma free advertising.

Ms. Marchione's article may be accurate medically, but the second paragraph is lacking mathematically. Persons who take statins cannot be twice as likely to survive, because those who do not take statins survive 97% of the time. She should have said those who take statins are half as likely to die.

Daily Horoscope for December 26

Leo

Despite the festivities, something is nagging away at the back of your mind and you won't feel happy until you've done something about it. Do your best to tackle it over the next three weeks while it will benefit from the influence of Mercury backtracking through your sixth house. Your daily routine is filled with an increasing number of details, messages, and information, much of which will be confusing. All you can do is change your attitude to whatever is worrying you.
