I thought it was 3X the risk according to some sources (a disaster).
But 38% is still more than the claimed relative risk reduction* of 25% or so.
Evidence continues to grow that shows the devastating effects of statins on health and longevity. Before taking them, consider the results of these studies.
STORY AT-A-GLANCE
- Data from one study showed people taking statin medications have a 38% increased risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. Scientists have identified several factors that may play a part in elevating risk, including impaired insulin sensitivity and the impact on epigenetics that influence insulin traits
- Data released in early 2021 have also shown that people taking statin medications have an increased risk of cardiovascular events in all but the highest risk group
- In a presentation at the University of Sydney and in a peer-reviewed narrative review, Maryanne Demasi looked at the evidence that has divided medical professionals over statins and shows how by simply revising definitions and hiding data, the industry has misled consumers and pocketed billions
- Instead of relying on cholesterol numbers that have little benefit unless the total is over 300, consider evaluating your cholesterol-to-HDL and triglyceride-to-HDL ratios, as well as your ferritin and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) levels

WIND: follow the money. And now more than ever, the Scientism dogma.
No doctor ever got fired or sued for prescribing a statin, and no doctor has skin in the game for doing so—not their problem (indeed, it is good for business at that medical center when you are damaged by a statin). And no one can prove anything. But doctors do get harrassed for not prescribing according to the paint-by-numbers guidelines. Bottom line is that your best outcome is not part of the calculation with today’s assembly line medicine.
Safe and effective?
Doctors and scientists are seeing an increase in the reactivation of the chickenpox virus, known as varicella-zoster virus (VZV), following the COVID-19 injections.
The chickenpox virus is one of the eight herpes viruses known to infect humans. After a person contracts and recovers from chickenpox, the virus never leaves the body but lies dormant in the nervous system for life.
The chickenpox virus will show up as shingles, or herpes zoster (HZ) when it gets reactivated.
Federal health authorities claim that there’s no correlation between COVID-19 injections and shingles, but studies show that there is a higher incidence of shingles in people who’ve received the vaccine.

WIND: I have little doubt that this claim is true, since I am certain that COVID itself reactivated both Epstein Barr Virus and HHV-6 in me, leading to my 2 year ordeal.
How long will the CDC gaslight the public on the safety of the COVID jabs?
Twitter Quietly Removes Warning Added to a CDC Study
Phil Kerpen, president of American Commitment, posted about the recent blunder on Twitter, saying that the network had “slapped a warning on the **Journal of the American Medical Association** for the wrongthink crime of publishing data showing rapid waning of COVID vaccines in children.” Kerpen had posted the study back in May to his account.
It doesn’t matter how many of the claims below are true or unproven or debatable. There are so many warning signs and so much evidence accumulating that you have to have serious cognitive dissonance and/or superhero-grade rationalization powers to keep ignoring it.
The 'thing' is the opposite of the thing, right in front of you. Safety mean harm, proven means guessing, good for you means profitable, and ethics means brute force.
Articles like those below might be old news to you, since they are totally covered on CNN and FOX and that cornerstone of credibility, MSNBC/CIA. These paragons of journalistic excellence can be counted on to keep you up to date on exactly what you should know.

COVID Vaccines Increase Menstrual Irregularities Thousandfold, Fetal Abnormalities Hundredfold: Doctors’ VAERS Analysis
Safe and effective? Effective is out the window within months (it it ever was), safety was never there. Maybe the COVID jab was a good thing for a small fraction of the population. That made sense on a risk assessment basis. Nothing else did or does.
A new analysis of Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccine trial data shows the risk of serious injury following the vaccine is greater than the reduction in COVID-19 hospitalizations, according to a study posted June 23 on Social Science Research Network.
“Combining the trials, there was a 43% increased risk of serious adverse events of special interest and an absolute risk increase of 12.5 serious adverse events of special interest per 10,000 vaccinated participants,” the authors of the pre-print paper wrote.
Based on their findings, the authors called for a harm-benefit analysis of COVID-19 vaccines.

“This important study uses actual Pfizer and Moderna clinical trial data to show that the risks of serious adverse events outweigh the benefits of these vaccines against COVID-19 hospitalization,” said Brian Hooker, Ph.D., Children’s Health Defense chief scientific officer and associate professor of biology at Simpson University in Redding, California where he specializes in microbiology and biotechnology.

WIND: I’m not a big fan of meta analysis, but what else can you do with this vaccine scandal, where the control groups were eliminated (surely not an accident).
Nothing adds up from a science or logic perspective. Maybe it was all planned. Because follow the money will rarely if ever fail you in life.
Poorly-tested medical interventions are now the rule. The rule is that if it’s profitable, it gets approved, one way or another, regardless of safety profile.
Ethics in medicine are a dumpster fire, with many doctors signing up for whatever the latest medical experiment happens to be, without objection. Meanwhile, ethicists who question things are fired.
To assume that your doctor can be trusted to have your best interests at heart is for children and idiots.
Which is not to malign the few independent-thinking trustworthy doctors out there. But the body of medicine is covered with festering boils of conformity, wokeness, and propaganda. And with most doctors now having a paycheck tied to toeing the line—locked up intellectually at risk of being fired from the corporate entity that employs them.
Safe and effective? Effective is out the window within months, safety was never there. The myocarditis concerns are surely the tip of the toxiberg.
Could it be that the 23-sigma* decrease in birth rates and the 6-sigma* increase in deaths in adults of working age in the USA has a causal relationship to the COVID jabs? No other explanation that I’ve heard fits.
Below, unlike the COVID jabs, an actual control group. What a novel concept...
A French peer-reviewed study concluded that for both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, the risk of myocarditis skyrockets a week after vaccination.
The risk of myocarditis after mRNA vaccination was 8 times and 30 times greater than unvaccinated control groups for BNT162b2 (Pfizer-BioNTech) and mRNA-1273 (Moderna), respectively.
The largest association for myocarditis following the Moderna jab was 44 times higher risk for persons aged 18 to 24 years.
As for the Pfizer shot, in relation to the same age group, the risk was 13 times higher.
Infection with the Chinese Communist Party virus yielded, by comparison, a 9 times greater risk of the same condition.

Sudden Adult Death Syndrome
Recently, a new term has been highlighted in media outlets: “sudden adult death syndrome,” or SADS...
WIND: with young adults at nil risk for COVID (even less for children, as in less than zero as in beneficial to train the immune system), the medical system has devolved into a vicious busines of damaging a million people to help a handful for a very short time, all for $100B in profit.
Anon MD (medical doctor) writes:
It is indeed a mess. Any findings contrary to the worship of the vaccine idol is squashed both by the media and peer review. Both are heavily biased.
So the pro-vaccine data are hard to believe because they fit the narrative and are therefore favorably and uncritically reviewed. By contrast. the studies regarding adverse effects as you have presented, are released as pre-prints and will seldom survive peer review because of the bias of the reviewers. You'll never see these articles published in the NEJM or JAMA, both of which are the medical equivalents of the main stream media. The critical hard data for determining the true risk/benefit does not exist because Pfizer eliminated the control groups by inoculating them as you have repeatedly pointed out.
Whereas long-term safety data for vaccination in the highest risk population early on in the trials may not have been as critical (relatively short life expectancy and beyond their years of contribution to the gene pool), approval of vaccines for low/no risk individuals is unconscionable!
You are indeed correct to follow the money with Big Pharma sitting at the bottom of the trough.
WIND: peer review being a farce foisted on a gullible public and a goodly number of gullible doctors. Indeed, peer review is the new Scientism, though perhaps that has been decades in the making, given the corruption by money of all of science.
The ideas you won’t see in the “news”
Articles like this might be old news to you, since they are like totally all over CNN and FOX and that pillar of credibility, MSNBC/CIA. These paragons of journalistic excellence can be counted on to keep you up to date on exactly what you should know. And how the 'thing' is the opposite of the thing.
