Expose on Malcolm Kendrick[edit]

GOOD expose on Malcolm Kendrick, Zoë Harcombe and other statin deniers currently going around on the mainstream news in the UK. I have been saying this all along, the statin deniers are wrong.

The deadly propaganda of the statin deniers: The drugs DO protect you from heart attacks but as this devastating investigation reveals thousands are refusing them

Daily Mail get something right for a change? An accurate investigation by them. John66 (talk) 23:31, 3 March 2019 (UTC)

I've seen at least one other citation for Daily Mail on RationalWiki for a factual source. They're a stopped clock tabloid. Bongolian (talk) 23:50, 3 March 2019 (UTC)

Why the lack of balance?[edit]

This is a pseudo-scientific hit piece. If you want to know Malcolm Kendrick's scientific views on cholesterol and statins, he has outlined them here in his response to the Daily Mail's disinfo attack: https://drmalcolmkendrick.org/2019/03/03/cholesterol-games/ — Unsigned, by: Benjamindavidsteele / talk / contribs 17:15, 9 March 2019 (UTC)

Probably because we, like the vast (VAST) majority of scientists, don't believe him. Scream!! (talk) 17:22, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
In that case, cite the scientific survey that proves your claim that "the vast (VAST) majority of scientists" who are informed experts in the field have never questioned or doubted the overprescription of statins that, in the research, has shown no decreased overall mortality. Otherwise, admit you're wrong, retract your position, and present an honest editing of this article. Whatever this article is, it isn't skepticism. So, what or rather whose purpose does it serve? Why not present all the available scientific evidence and all sides of the scientific debate, from The Lancet to the BMJ? That would be the scientific response to a disagreement among scientists. — Unsigned, by: Benjamindavidsteele / talk / contribs

RT articles[edit]

Kendrick now writing articles for RT.

I predict a riot[edit]

Expect much vandalism to this page over the coming days. "Dr" Kendrick has release another COVID-19 denial blog post today, in which he refers to his page here. If you remember how his removal from Wikipedia went, you'll know to expect his army of nut jobs to arrive soon.

This article needs a massive update. I am sure Johns the creator wrote he was going to update this article but he's hardly been online in a year. This article has dropped on Google ranking for Malcolm Kendrick so I doubt his followers will show up here now, I don't think it gets many page clicks anymore. It used to be the first for his name, now it is like the 5 page. This [1] has just been published that refutes some of Kendrick's nonsense. Hopefully Johns can update this article.

I would like to see this article updated but I am not very good at editing wikis. Kendrick has recently authored a new crazy book claiming total blood cholesterol, high LDL etc does not cause or increase risk of heart disease. He seems to ignore high quality reviews like this [2] — Unsigned, by: Susan38 / talk / contribs

Susan if you have read it what does Malcolm Kendrick's new book say about increased levels of Lipoprotein (a)? Elevated apoB has long debated to be a serious risk for heart disease [3], [4] [5]. It is now accepted by the medical community that High levels of apoB increase heart disease [6]. Does Kendrick deny this as well? 161.35.38.88 (talk) 00:13, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
