Doctors Malcolm Kendrick and Zoe Harcombe have won a libel case against a British tabloid in the UK High Court. The case, centered on the debate over statins, highlights how journalists cover scientific issues and often discredit those challenging the official narrative. This victory is seen as a significant win for free speech and a critique of the pharmaceutical industry's influence.
