> in 2008-2009, 12% of Americans over 40 reported taking a statin, whereas in 2018-2019, that had increased to 35% of Americans.

I wonder about the percentage of Americans who have taken zero prescription drugs this year.

> Note: this is very similar to Pfizer’s COVID vaccine trial which professed to be “95% effective” against COVID-19, but in reality only created a 0.8% reduction...

This is confusing relative risk reduction and absolute risk reduction. Intentional or not, this causes me to discount/question everything written here.

The author of this substacks shows no credentials of being a licensed physician. Further, the author states in other articles that Covid vaccines caused, and I quote, "turbo cancers".

This person is a quack, which is too bad as the actual discussion over statins could be an interesting one.
