    This is today's breaking news:

    "A single shot of a new drug can lower cholesterol levels by up to 69 per cent, according to the initial results of a clinical trial that has not yet been peer reviewed.
    The treatment, called VERVE-102, could transform the future of heart attack prevention by dramatically reducing a person's levels of LDL cholesterol – the so-called ‘bad’ cholesterol – with just one injection."

    My take, prediction:

    1. If it is not lowering the chance of CVD, then...

    2. I think it is mostly good for people with genetically high cholesterol.

    3. I kinda doubt this, although similar shots given biweekly already exist.

    4. Big Statin is shaking...where have all my profits gone???
