Default More on statins

We've all recently been treated to popular reporting of research results showing: (a) statins increase the risk of Parkinson's Disease, (b) patients on simvastatin have reduced risk of PD, (c) statins accelerate PD disease progression, and (d) Simvastatin entering clinical trials as a PD treatment. Science is messy, research needs to be independently repeated, but really... If you were a diagnosed PD patient whose cardiologist suggest a statin would you look for a "twofer" and maybe go with simvastatin, or would you ask about other types of meds because you'd like to stay away from statins if possible?
