The Statin Scam

Here's something Pharma won't emphasize to you or your doctor:

"[S]tatins have a very high rate of injury. For example, the existing studies find between a 5-30% rate of injuries,19 and Dr. Malhotra, having gone through all the existing evidence estimates that 20% of statin users are injured by them.

Likewise, statins are well known for having a high percentage of patients discontinue the drugs due to their side effects (e.g., one large study found 44.7% of older adults discontinue the drugs within a year of starting them, while another large study of adults of all ages found 47% discontinued within a year)."

What follows is an excerpt from an article by "A Midwestern Doctor," a Substack I follow closely:

Despite decades of statin use costing approximately $25 billion annually in America alone, heart disease remains the leading cause of death, suggesting the cholesterol hypothesis that drives statin prescriptions is fundamentally flawed

Studies show that lowering cholesterol with statins does not reduce heart disease, and yet these findings are ignored while statin guidelines are created by experts paid by pharmaceutical manufacturers

Malcolm Kendrick’s clotting model provides a superior explanation for heart disease: atherosclerotic plaques result from repeated damage to blood vessel linings which the body repairs with layers of clots.

The medical establishment dismisses widespread reports of statin injuries as “nocebo effects,” paralleling how COVID-19 vaccine injuries were dismissed as “anxiety,” despite extensive evidence corroborating the injuries.

The actual causes of heart disease—fine particulate matter from pollution and cigarettes, lead exposure, chronic stress, and endothelial damage—receive minimal research funding because effective interventions cannot be patented and sold as expensive pharmaceuticals like statins.

MAHA Roundup by “A Midwestern Doctor”

For several years, I have enthusiastically subscribed to the Substack of "A Midwestern Doctor," titled "The Forgotten Side of Medicine." It is a link-rich environment for getting one's bearings on the many health care and public health issues distorted by Pharma $ and entrenched bureaucratic dogma (visit today's article for the links). I highly recommend following this Substack.  Today's issue includes a recap of the many successes of the MAHA movement spearheaded by RFK, Jr.:

  • Cutting the mandatory vaccine schedule in half and making many previously required vaccines optional after a discussion with your doctor. Given that the CDC never removes vaccines from the schedule, my initial hope was that, when Trump broached removing the newborn hepatitis B vaccine from the CDC schedule, there was a small chance it would actually happen. Which resulted in a lot of people, myself included, waging a lengthy campaign to increase the chance that would happen. Despite that, I was initially very worried that it wouldn’t happen due to the resistance, and I patiently waited for a CDC announcement. However, out of nowhere, instead of just doing that, they cut the schedule in half (which was quite extraordinary).

    Note: one of the key arguments used in lawsuits opposing this vaccine schedule is that requiring doctors to discuss the merits of vaccinating before vaccinating patients is too time-consuming in practice—which is an excellent metaphor for the issues with the medical system.

  • Fixing the food pyramid so that unhealthy food is no longer glorified, while healthy foods are prioritized. Ironically, this required flipping the pyramid upside down (again an excellent metaphor for the health care system), resulting in a real-life enactment of a 2014 South Park episode that Kennedy’s team then slightly altered for a viral post
  • Reversing the demonization of healthy animal fats and bringing attention to the danger of seed oils.
  • Getting the food industry to agree to phase out artificial food dyes (as synthetic dyes cause a variety of issues, including behavioral problems) and to create a viable pathway for companies to use natural dyes correctly.
  • Begin closing the GRAS loophole, which has long been used to get a variety of unsafe and untested chemicals into the food supply.
  • Announced an upcoming MAHA inquiry into baby formula safety and ingredients, focusing on potential toxins and health impacts (which as I showed in this May 2025 article, was critical to do and easy to fix by reversing a few bad regulatory policies).
  • Highlighting the links between Tylenol and neurological developmental disorders (discussed further here).
  • Shutting down gain-of-function bioweapons research being practiced throughout the United States, and from what I’ve heard in the near future globally as well.
  • Begin drawing attention to the dangers of water fluoridation so it can be phased out (a critical topic I still have not had time to write about, other than its role in causing osteoporosis) and beginning the phase out of mercury dental fillings by announcing they would be phased out of the Indian Health Service by 2027 (which is likewise another critical health topic I have not yet had time to cover).
  • Defeated the pesticide immunity provision (Section 453), something I like many others tried to oppose (e.g., see this article), but thought would likely pass due to how much influence the agrochemical sector has.
  • Implement a variety of federal policies to subsidize only healthy practices and lower prices (e.g., greatly lowering drug prices, changing Medicare reimbursements to prioritize practices that promote health, and making food stamps no longer cover or subsidize junk food). Implemented major HHS restructuring, including a 20% workforce reduction and consolidation into a new chronic disease-focused agency, reducing bureaucratic influence.
  • Begin rolling back television pharmaceutical advertising by reinstating the advertising restrictions Clinton eliminated.

“Safe and Effective”? New Documentary, “An Inconvenient Study” Proves Harm and Lack of Informed Consent re Vaccinations

Del Bigtree (Min 15):  "What did we prove in [our] lawsits [against HHS, FDA and NIH]?  That the entire science behind vaccine safety was nothing but a complete fraud."

Five years ago, I would have thought anyone saying this was insane. I've had dozens of vaccines over my life and my wife and I made sure that our daughters were constantly up-to-date on the vaccines with the pediatrician. Now, after following independent media and congressional hearings, reading Aaron Siri's "Vaccines, Amen! (and see here) and watching the documentary, "An Inconvenient Study,"   I am convinced that Del Bigtree is making a highly credible claim.

Scientists can be corrupted by money and prestige, just like politicians, government officials, CEOs and any other human beings. I highly recommend that you completely ignore what corporate media currently peddles. Instead check out the above sources and make up your own mind.

If you are still skeptical, consider this: "David and Brenda McDowell got their triplets vaccinated with the pneumococcal shot, only for all three children to “shut off on the SAME DAY.”

If you think that you are well informed because you rely on official sources, consider the following an article published by "The Forgotten Side of Medicine." The title to the article: "Dissecting the Religion of Vaccines: How vaccines became the holy water of Western civilization."

Due to the high toxicity of vaccines, real studies inevitably show significant injury. The medical community’s strategy hence has been to block studies comparing vaccinated to unvaccinated from ever being produced.

As such, placebo-controlled vaccine trials are vehemently rejected as “unethical” because they deny (placebo) children a “life-saving” vaccine—despite it being far more unethical to inject every child with vaccines of unknown safety (or benefit). Yet when “ethical” studies show vaccine injuries are real, they’re rejected as “non-controlled” and met with demands for “controlled trials” (that are banned for “ethical” reasons). This absurdity continues as:

When “non-controlled” datasets indicate safety, rather than be questioned, they are widely publicized.

Large datasets that could “ethically” compare vaccinated to unvaccinated exist, but the public is never given access despite extensive efforts to obtain them (and most recently, the CDC deleted theirs so Secretary Kennedy could not get it).

When individuals independently conduct such studies demonstrating harm, studies get retracted and investigators are often targeted by medical boards.

Most recently, a physician agreed to conduct a vaccinated vs. unvaccinated study to prove vaccines were safe and then publish the results regardless of what they showed. Once its data irrefutably showed vaccines were immensely dangerous, he refused to publish the study and apologetically admitted to a hidden camera he did that to protect himself.

Many other incriminating datasets are routinely buried. For example, a CDC whistleblower testified that the CDC buried data they collected showing vaccines cause autism, and when a court order finally forced the CDC to release their data used to track COVID-19 vaccine safety, it showed significant harm and that past publications of this data had hid that harm. Likewise, Senator Johnson, through chairing the Senate’s investigative committee, was able to obtain concrete proof the CDC had internal data of serious complications from the vaccine (e.g., myocarditis) but then suppressed this knowledge from reaching the public.

In short, an illogical status quo has been enshrined where “the absence of evidence” for vaccine harm is erroneously accepted as “the evidence of absence.”

This article further asserts that the vaccine industry has imposed upon us what amounts to a religion. Strong sounding stuff, right? Consider:

Story at a Glance:

•As more people awaken to the dangers of vaccines, they discover a persistent problem vaccine safety advocates have faced for decades: talking to vaccine zealots is like speaking to a brick wall.

•Regardless of the evidence presented, you cannot reach them—sometimes it feels like speaking to religious fanatics unwilling to consider the “blasphemy you’re spewing forth.”

•This is deliberate, as vaccines have been enshrined as the holy water which baptizes you into the faith of Western medicine and became the “miracle” the superiority of modern medicine is based upon.

•Because of this faith and the relentless propaganda accompanying it, a series of absurd and contradictory arguments have been established to assert vaccines are “safe” which would never be accepted anywhere else.

•As a result, all vaccine research is designed around the assumption vaccines must be safe, and all regulatory decisions sharing this bias—thereby making it nearly impossible to prove a vaccine is harmful, regardless of how many people it kills or injures.

•This article will review the absurd fallacies used to defend mass vaccination, the unsound mindsets that produce them, and the incredible opportunity we have to at last shift this dysfunctional dynamic.

Keep in mind the pathetically thin testing of vaccines that the industry insists that we inject into our children:

Until recent changes urged by Robert F. Kennedy, this was the vaccine schedule for children (on the right):

The corporate media is an accomplice to the lack of accurate information available to the American public. Consider this:

Did you know the news used to regularly air stories about people's lives being ruined by vaccines?

That all changed after Clinton let Pharma buy out the media.

Here I compiled 56 mind-blowing news segments they'd never air today.

Bill Gates, COVID, Epstein, Greed, Lying, Etc

No need for a lie detector on Bill  Gates.

"Abject Lie" is written on his forehead. Just dinner. "That's all." You might think my venom is due to his attempt to surreptitiously slip antibiotics to his wife after surreptitiously exposing her to venereal disease caused by his adventures with Jeffrey Epstein. No, that's merely the tip of the iceberg.

Sayer Ji lays it out. Go to Sayer Ji's article, "BREAKING: The Epstein Files Illuminate a 20-Year Architecture Behind Pandemics as a Business Model—With Bill Gates at the Center of the Network: Inside the JPMorgan–Gates–Epstein Pipeline: Donor-Advised Funds, Vaccine Finance, and the Architecture of Pre-Positioned Profit."

We thought we have been electing the people who govern us, but George Carlin was so very correct when he said: "They own you," and he was speaking of the "Big Club," people like Bill Gates and Jeffrey Epstein, people we did NOT elect and whom we would never have elected. Yet this is just one example (out of millions) of what corrupt people can do to mold a 'democracy" in their own image and likeness.  Eric Weinstein reacts:

About the Amount of Sleep you are Getting

About your sleep.  Post by Aakash Gupta:

This is one of the most important studies in sleep science. Van Dongen et al. ran the experiment that changed how we understand chronic sleep restriction. They had subjects sleep 4h, 6h, or 8h nightly for 14 days, testing cognitive performance every 2 hours. The 6h group’s reaction time deficits by day 14 matched subjects who had been awake for 24 hours straight. The 4h group? They performed like someone awake 48 hours. But here’s what makes this study terrifying.

The Stanford Sleepiness Scale ratings in Panel B plateau after day 3-4. Subjects stopped feeling more tired even as their cognitive performance continued deteriorating through day 14. Your subjective experience of fatigue is a lagging indicator that eventually just… stops updating.

This explains why chronic undersleeping feels sustainable. You’ve adapted to feeling tired. Your prefrontal cortex hasn’t adapted to being impaired.

The PVT (Psychomotor Vigilance Task) in Panel A measures lapses in attention. These are the moments where you’re staring at a screen and your brain simply checks out for 500ms. Every additional day of 6h sleep adds more lapses. The curve never flattens. Panel C and D show working memory and processing speed. Same pattern: continuous degradation with no subjective awareness.

The practical implications: If you’re sleeping 6h and think you’re functioning fine, you’ve lost the internal calibration to know you’re not. The subjects in this study would have told you they felt “okay” while performing like they’d pulled an all-nighter. For anyone doing cognitively demanding work, this means you cannot trust how you feel. You need to track objective markers: error rates, decision latency, problem-solving throughput.

Sleep need is biological, not negotiable. Most adults require 7-9 hours, and the research shows no population-level adaptation to chronic restriction. “I only need 6 hours” is almost always “I’ve forgotten what baseline cognition feels like.“
