    This ^. There are so many medications out there that either do nothing, or the side effects are worse than what they're treating. Pay attention to what you're taking, and look into everything. The Pharma industry is about money. That's it. Money. They don't care about making you better, they care about what kind of profit they can make off of a new drug. There's not a single pharma company that can be trusted. And this isn't only drugs that they are more worried about making money on, vaccines too. You don't really think the pharma companies came out with a COVID vaccine because it was best for humanity do you? They knew the government would pay whatever they asked for the vaccines, so they pushed them out as fast as they could. Work/doesn't work? Doesn't matter, as long as they made a profit.

      Add statins to your list. After taking statins for 10 years, statistically, you can expect to live 1 day longer. But until death, you're likely to experience crippling side effects.
