Statin

Statin  (drug,  Safe and Effective)
"Medical terrorism. This ad appeared in Canadian publications in 2002. An example of propaganda by the big lie. Pfizer must have spent many millions of dollars on just this one ad. The implication is clear, you will not die as long as your blood "cholesterol" is low and you had better take a statin for it if it isn't."

Statins is a class of medications that are sold to lower cholesterol.

Official narrative

Statins reduce illness and mortality in those who are at high risk of cardiovascular disease. 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. 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. 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.

The patent for Pfizer’s 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 until RNA vaccines came along.

Rigged science

Dr. Maryanne Demasi - 'Statin Wars: Have we been misled by the evidence? Bitchute backup

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

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.

Attack on critics

A common tactic by the medical establishment when challenged has been to accuse critics of murder by casting doubt on the drug, while being blind to their own likely guilt.

When in 2013 Dr. Maryanne Demasi made 2 documentaries on Australian Broadcasting Corporation critical of the over-prescribing of statins, she was hounded and virtually forced out of her job. A paper in the Medical Journal of Australia (using "impenetrable statistical bollocks, and weird assumptions", according Dr. Malcolm Kendrick) had the key conclusion that '…this [the impact of the documentaries] could result in between 1522 and 2900 preventable, and potentially fatal, major vascular events.'

In 2014 Sir Rory Collins of the CCT demanded that The British Medical Journal retract two articles in their entirety, that were highly critical of statins. Seizing on an error where both articles claimed 18%-20% of people on statins suffered adverse events (the correct number was 17.4%), Collins said the Department of Health and other authorities should intervene "to ensure the public gets accurate information on the risks and benefits of the potentially life-saving drugs." "It is a serious disservice to British and international medicine,"he said, claiming that the alarm caused was probably killing more people than had been harmed as a result of the paper on the MMR vaccine by Andrew Wakefield. "I would think the papers on statins are far worse in terms of the harm they have done."

Suggested added 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."

There is a push to add statins to the public water supply.
