A business has a right to manufacture something and sell it to people as long as it's legal, they are not responsible for the damage it causes if a person uses it in a wrong way, or if a person doesn't do the research on it and read the warnings/instructions.

Statins don't kill people, Guns don't kill people, pens don't misspell words, matches don't start fires, cars don't kill people, cigarettes don't cause cancer and junk food doesn't make you fat, but when the human factor is beyond retarded, the above happens.

YOU have to make a CHOICE to accomplish the above, when was the last time you saw a gun or match in prison for murder and arson?

Even though I don't agree with their product or their way of marketing, I still know they are not doing anything wrong and I still fail to see where Merck put a gun to someone's head and told them to buy statins.

Until then, it is solely the consumers fault and responsibility.
