Dear Dr. Roach: Would you comment on some information I discovered about statin drugs, which I think reveals some nefarious numbers on behalf of the drug companies?

The good news is we have a lot of information about Musk to make an educated guess about what’s to come for Twitter.
All of us are products of our times. And all of us have the power to shape our times for the better.
