Statins is a class of medications that are sold to lower cholesterol.[2]
Official narrative
Statins reduce illness and mortality in those who are at high risk of cardiovascular disease.[2] Having a high level of LDL cholesterol is potentially dangerous, as it can lead to a hardening and narrowing of the arteries (atherosclerosis) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Statins come as tablets that are taken once a day. They usually have to be continued for life because if one stops taking them, the cholesterol will return to a high level within a few weeks.[3] Use of the drug in adults 40 years and older in the United States increased from 21.8 million (17.9%) in 2002-2003 to 39.2 million (27.8%) in 2012-2013, representing a 79.8% increase[4]. Guidelines released by the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology wants even more people on the drug, and recommended them for 48.6% (56 million) of the population.[5]
The patent for Pfizer’s very popular anti-cholesterol drug atorvastatin (Lipitor) expired in 2011, but it is still the most prescribed anti-cholesterol medication in the world. In 15 years (1996–2011) of market dominance, Lipitor made USD 125 billion in sales, becoming the best-selling drug in the history of the pharmaceutical industry[6] until RNA vaccines came along.
Side effects

The longest and largest study in the world of statins, effectively with a monopoly over the raw data of side-effects, is the Cholesterol Treatment Trialists’ (CTT) Collaboration, a group of researchers at Oxford University, led by Professor Sir Rory Collins. While the CTT Collaboration periodically publishes its interpretation of the data on statins, what it does not do is permit independent researchers to verify CTT results by allowing access to the raw data. The Collaboration has extensive financial ties to Big Pharma[7]
Among other side effects, for patients with mild cognitive impairment, taking lipophilic statins more than doubles their risk of developing dementia compared to those who do not take statins.[8]
Adding to water supply
In 2012, a group of researchers suggested making statins a condiment like ketchup. "Routine accessibility of statins in establishments providing unhealthy food might be a rational modern means to offset the cardiovascular risk. Fast food outlets already offer free condiments to supplement meals. A free statin-containing accompaniment would offer cardiovascular benefits, opposite to the effects of equally available salt, sugar, and high-fat condiments." [9]
There is a push to add statins to the public water supply.[10]
