it is a tool. i don’t believe it’s a matter of care or intelligence. it’s just hard to synthesize something that targets one thing we don’t like (cholesterol in this case). sometimes it goes as far as not really understanding the underlying mechanism through which the drug actually works - i would say most times the full interaction of the drugs are not fully understood. if you add the desire to take a pill and just fix whatever issue you have i can see how, on a large scale, this can be problematic
