I remember Dr. Robert Jarvik in the Lipitor ads back in the 2000's and spoke on the medication at that time and how it improves or reduce heart attacks at that time.
Lipitor at one time and maybe still is the most prescribed drug in the USA A few years ago, there was a push to start prescribing the junk for children. Lipitor is a drug called a "statin".

Lipitor has been and still is one of the most controversial prescription drug in existence.
