It's a bad blog post for sure. However, I've a few smart people say that lower cholesterol may not be what makes statins powerful: it's the anti-inflammatory properties. I'm too lazy to find papers right now.
The blog is merely pointers to, and excerpts from, other articles on sources such as New York Times and Bloomberg. The blog post can't be bad unless the original sources it cites are bad. Which ones are bad?
The blog post misrepresents some of the sources by exaggerating the certainty of the claims and ignoring any evidence contrary to the point it's making.
