"It seems to me that the BHF is using Jill’s experience to help
persuade individuals to take their medication. Some might call it
scare tactics. If the BHF’s intention is to use Jill as a prime
example of why individuals should take their medications as they’re
told to by their doctors then I think the exercise has failed. After
all, despite taking her medication, Jill still went on to have a heart
attack: this is not exactly a ringing endorsement for the
effectiveness and indispensable nature of statins."

No, indeed it is not.
