Help from copilot on Statins
Is this reliable “Fact checking?Below is the real reason the messaging around statins feels dishonest.
1. Statins are treated as sacred in medicine
Cardiology sees statins as one of the few drugs that clearly reduce heart attacks and strokes in high‑risk patients.
Because of that, the medical system tends to:downplay side effects
dismiss patient complaints
treat statin skepticism as ignorance
repeat the same talking points (“statins are safe and effective”)
This creates the appearance of lying, even when the intention is protective.
2. Statin side effects are real — but inconvenient
Doctors know that:muscle pain happens in 5–10% of patients
fatigue is common
brain fog is reported, even if not always measurable
libido changes happen in some men
CoQ10 drops are real
testosterone may drop slightly in some people
But these effects are often labeled “rare,” “not clinically significant,” or “nocebo.”
To a patient who feels the effects, that sounds like gaslighting.
3. The cholesterol narrative is oversimplified
You’ve probably noticed this contradiction:“Cholesterol is dangerous — lower is better.”
“But your brain needs cholesterol.”
“But statins don’t affect brain cholesterol.”
“But some people get cognitive symptoms.”
The messaging is inconsistent because the biology is complicated.
Doctors simplify it to avoid confusion.
Patients interpret that simplification as dishonesty.4. Wallach and others fill the vacuum
When mainstream medicine refuses to acknowledge nuance, people like Joel Wallach step in with:simple explanations
emotionally compelling narratives
villains (doctors, pharma)
heroes (supplements, natural cures)
His claims are not supported by evidence, but they resonate because they validate people’s experiences.
5. Statins are a $40+ billion industry
This part is true.And whenever a drug becomes a massive revenue generator, people naturally distrust the messaging around it.
That doesn’t mean statins are a scam — but it does mean the incentives are real.6. The truth is not black‑and‑white
Here’s the most honest, evidence‑aligned summary:True
Statins save lives in people with high cardiovascular risk.Statins cause side effects in a meaningful minority of users.
Some people experience cognitive or sexual changes.
CoQ10 depletion is real.
The medical system often minimizes patient‑reported symptoms.
False
Statins cause Alzheimer’s.Statins “shred” brain myelin.
Alzheimer’s is physician‑caused.
Low cholesterol causes dementia.
Uncomfortable but real
The medical system communicates poorly.Pharma incentives distort messaging.
Patients feel unheard.
People turn to alternative explanations when mainstream ones feel dismissive.
7. So why does it feel like lies are being told?
Because the system is doing this:Over‑simplifying
Over‑selling benefits
Under‑reporting harms
Dismissing patient experiences
Protecting the drug’s reputation
That combination feels like deception, even when it isn’t intentional.

Is Trump lifting the naval blockade on Iran?
Plus news and updates from Lebanon and Yemen

May 30, 2026
https://geopolitiq.substack.com/p/is-trump-lifting-the-naval-blockadeBefore getting into the main topic of this article, let me first deal briefly with the possible US violations of the ceasefire agreement with Iran in the night of Thursday 28th May 2026, since I mentioned them in my previous article.
Towards the end of the day, Middle East Spectator (MES) reported on “explosions heard in Hormozgan Province and Bushehr Province, southern Iran near the Persian Gulf”. Iranian news agencies, quoted by MES and Al Mayadeen, later confirmed that the explosions were related to the launch of warning missiles aimed at “unspecified targets” in the Persian Gulf, probably ships (either commercial vessels or US warships) attempting to pass the Strait of Hormuz without prior coordination with the IRGC (Islamic Revolution Guard Corps). Additionally, the IRGC shot down a US drone “over Persian Gulf waters near the cities of Jam and Kangan in Bushehr province”, as per Fars, Tasnim and MES.
Getting into the core of this article, yesterday evening (Friday 29th May 2026), the President of the corrupt Outlaw US Empire1, Paedophile in Chief of the Epstein regime2 and anti-Christ3, Donald J. Trump posted a lengthy tweet on his Truth social where he apparently announced the lifting of the US blockade, as reported also by MES and Al Mayadeen:—————–
Yankies going home?
https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/us-aircraft-carriers-left-west-asia-following-iran-s-operatiUS aircraft carriers left West Asia following Iran’s operations: Azizi
Iranian official Ebrahim Azizi says the USS Abraham Lincoln and USS Gerald R. Ford left West Asia following the war on Iran, while accusing Washington of failing to uphold commitments in ongoing negotiations.Speaking to RIA Novosti, Azizi said that Iranian assessments indicate that “nearly 9,000 American personnel have withdrawn from the Persian Gulf, 14 US bases have been destroyed, and more than 200 aircraft and aerial assets have been lost.”
He added that the USS Abraham Lincoln has left the region, while the USS Gerald R. Ford reportedly departed under the pretext of an onboard fire.
According to Azizi, the confrontation demonstrated that US claims of being a global superpower were nothing more than “big words.”
————-As following all the other weird s—t:
“US Military Hasn’t Identified A Single Confirmed Mine In Strait Of Hormuz, Officials Tell NBC
On Friday morning, Trump boasted about US military detonating “numerous” mines…It’s unthinkable the Iran was able to deploy zero mines in the first days of war. It’s also unthinkable that we couldn’t have found one. So I’ll go with “The media is completely incompetent and lying.”
“Seyed M. Marandi: Iran DROPPED THE HAMMER in Strait of Hormuz – Trump’s ‘No Tolls’ Plan Backfires”
(Checks News) Iran did this by having literally nothing happen. It “backfired” because 40 U.S. cities are on fire, and 40 Pentagon officials are dead. Iran took out our top 12 missile factories as well as 4 refineries. No? We’re all eating steak and shopping, driving 5,000lb pickup truck everywhere? From the American perspective, there is no war. Nothing’s happened except gas is high and the job market is opening up slightly.
“Iran Poised To Finalize Hormuz Strait Management Plan, Brushing Aside Trump’s Threats
It’s nice to say things. I say things all the time. However, DOING them requires power, like, say, a Navy and an economy.
“Two MQ-9 Reaper strike drones – $30 million each – seriously damaged.”
The Fox News team cheers! Armstrong: “War of Attrition.” We can’t have “Attrition” as we here in the U.S. don’t notice. You could blow up 2 drones a day for the next 500 years and we’d just build more. Why can no one understand this? We haven’t even TRIED to up production. That’s how much we don’t care and doesn’t affect us. If we build that factory, the only thing the CEO will ask is, “Do you want 2 drones a day off the line or 250?” Then he’ll make whatever plant they want. There are no real, functional limits at our end.
The only thing Iran can do is blow up the factory, the rails, the grid, something. But that would make us REALLY MAD. So what kind of war is it where only one side takes ANY damage, whatsoever? And that’s the LOSING side? Really?
So Iran did good: hit solid, big ol’ ballistic missile. Direct hit. $60M assets. Good! That’s what war IS! But killed no men and gave no military damage whatsoever. Again: that’s not good! If you’re scoring direct hits, then you better be erasing assets that make a military difference.
“Leftist German Party Leader Forced To Correct Lies About AfD Leader, Pay Her Legal Fees
They said she’s gay and married to a non-german immigrant. Ha! Now try to get elected on THAT platform! Wait: she is? What lies do you tell then? That she will deport everyone? As they’ve found with Reform vs Restore in Britain, the more you say you’ll deport everyone and make English the national language, the more popular they are.
Starmer doesn’t exist as a human, so when Farage says this, that he’s really Tory, with virtually every Tory MP signed on, plus some pro-immigration Labour, it makes Lowe more popular than ever.
I know! We’ll say he’s Ray-cisssss! Oh wait, that was our only play for the last 25 years and no one cares anymore. That and leveling false claims against Lowe WITH THE POLICE if you remember. Gee, I thought leveling false reports with the police was a crime? Even if your name is Farage? And that shows you the moral and personal character of Farage and his party? Like if he’ll have his own MPs arrested on fake accusations of Ray-cisss, what do you think he’s going to do to you?
“UK’s Ofcom Investigates Airing Of Trump Interview Calling Climate Change A “Hoax”
Someone in UK “reported a thing”. This is illegal and arrested. If they had opposed it (I’m sure they did) they did not oppose it ENOUGH, comrade.

Gavin tried this, thinking naughty words were the secret, not like, HAVING A REFINERY, so that gas isn’t $8 there and $4 in the rest of the country. With no mass-transit, since they’re all Green n’ stuff. The transit is radically worse than the depths of the Great Depression. Discuss?
“Caught On Tape: Washington Nationals Official Admits To Discriminating Against Religious Player
As literally everyone knows. But like the good narcissist’s check list, #3: Now that it’s true it’s a good thing.
This particular case is the team’s “Social Responsibility” to attack, harm, refuse, and degrade any religious players. Oh wait: no. Any religion but Christianity players.
Williams is so hard-core religious and intolerant that when they danced on the cross in the stands as an LGBT “Piss Christ” weekend he had the gall to say “We should all feel welcomed there. But that was clearly against one certain religion.” That is, that wasn’t a very nice thing to do. And we should speak up about everyone being loved here. My GOD! The humanity! We must remove him as pitcher.
“lighthearted social media posts—for example, ones asking “Is a hot dog a sandwich?”—avoid including Williams because he spoke out.”
But that’s okay, you’ll be reassured to hear “the Nationals executive also described himself as “very far-left leaning” and admitted that he has a “Join the Communist Party” poster in his kitchen.” Which is not a religion at all, and there are no Communists in America, that’s a myth and conspiracy theory. Also they are “Brotherhood of Man” guys and not into bigotry and exclusion.
BTW as we’ve seen elsewhere, they hit these guys with a hammer daily for “Believing literally anything at all”, then something will happen and they find out their Jerseys sell out overnight with the public. That is, they’re trying to fire him, while he’s actually the draw for the team.
Today:
“Trump’s War On The Fed”This isn’t a fight since the Fed isn’t resisting. They are going to be rolled into other functions and perhaps exist but differently. They may the gateway of foreign capital and “Eurodollar” as those all go away. We are not an Empire and not the reserve currency, thus no Triffin’s Paradox. That’s what the whole war has been about, and looks like we won.
This “Local Capital” of Stablecoins is a very, very important thing to look at and understand. It also may free the Fed from Congress printing money. Like everytime the economy drop Congress has to come up with dumb reasons to give money to their friends: GWoT, Covid, Ukraine. If they’re going to spend should be on useful things, but the structure isn’t built like that presently, and Congress can’t be trusted. Government never can.
“• Global Oil Reserves Fall At The Fastest Rate In History (Snyder)
Yes a problem. But these usually miss several levels. One: WHERE is the shortage? Denmark? Don’t care. How much can we put online in the U.S.? When is Venezuela boosting? Etc. I can look but it’s so complicated that I’m not confident I can predict it accurately. The behavior says they have high confidence + ending shortly….or something. Like the “Something” could easily be Europe cracks and therefore oil purchases are cut bc their economy tanks.
We have other points: getting toward half the oil has found a way around Hormuz, cutting pressure. It’s suggested that London Brent (non-oil unreal contracts) are trying to be manipulated UP, not down. We could be confident we’re going to break that and the oil will go to “real value” of $80? As per WTIC? Not sure.
“Before normal traffic through the Strait could resume, Iran would first have to remove all of the mines that they have laid in the Strait,”
Schrodinger’s Strait, where all things are true. What mines? You just said there are no mines at all, why you accusing me of mines? It’s both open and shut, paid and unpaid, insured and uninsured, at war and no war yet. Oil is moving and not moving. All, Both, Neither, Aiii.
The other part of the article isn’t true: if 25%-40% of the oil is already getting around the Gulf, then you can’t say “Traffic is down 90%”. No, in that case it’s effectively only down 50%. And so the “Oil will have to come back online” is ALREADY online, as per Saudi pipeline to the Red Sea, which Yemen is specifically not bombing. See why this is complicated? People sell thousand-dollar reports on this stuff, for traders to use.
“The Strait of Hormuz shutdown has cut off 25% of the world’s seaborne oil,”
If so then it’s only 10%. And any system can take a 10% hit or it’s not really a system. If this their confidence? No idea except everything from Fox News and the Duran is wrong.
“Analysts expect U.S. gasoline prices could reach $5 this summer unless flows resume, with relief unlikely before autumn” Yes, but this has to do with Newsom taking foreign money to cause a Russian Revolution for World Communism and collapse the United States. If that/those refineries were where they should be, the price could be 50c lower than now. Canada did the same, and that pipeline, again, this is voluntary.
“Needless to say, this is not sustainable.”
It clearly is sustainable, because we are sustaining it. Now it may HURT a lot, but what is that? We can also give a $5k tax rebate and stop it in 12 hours. Other nations can’t do that. (Notice that we haven’t, and it’s not even being discussed. Thanks, Thune, Massey)
“This is really happening.” It’s Happening!!! …When they say that, it’s never, ever happening. So my confidence has just gone up a bunch, thanks.
“AfD has been surging in the polls, with one survey last week showing it hitting a record 42 percent in Saxony, double the support of the second-place Christian Democrats (CDU).”
That’s why the LOSING party, with half the support is in office, while the WINNING party has no power. That’s Democracy! In Europe! As with France, Holland, England…and remember Burlesconi in Italy? Removed by the Central Bankers “Just ‘cause?” Winning all the votes means you LOSE, silly. The LEAST popular candidate rules: look at Ursula.
“Manufacturing Consent for a Cuban Invasion.” –ZHLuckily, Trump put a million men in Ukraine, a million in Iran AND a million in Venezuela, as we invaded all those places and took them over. …Every Alex + Fox News says. So they have nothing to worry about! I’m sure we’ll need at least TWO million for this invasion. And, to channel Zoolander, at least TWO ships.
Okay, same game play, NEVER HAPPENED, THREE times in a row. When will they learn? A: They won’t. They “Just Say Things”. Nothing is true, no one is discredited.
“The New York Republican was reacting to an admission by Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., that she recently took an official government trip to Havana and also talked to foreign countries about finding a way to get oil to Cuba around US sanctions and a naval blockade.”
Actually, that’s pretty plausible. And it’s also the Logan Act. I’d like to say free speech + give a double width for Congressman, but seriously, you’re coordinating with the enemy not just to stop Trump, but like 60 year Congressional Law, always enforced. That is, there’s really no interpretation here.

Dr John, I check in with your blog from time to time and appreciate the commentary and selection of articles you link you. And yet, and yet … and I am hesitant to say this because it seems so trivial … for me, the format is hard to read — especially when you switch to the heavy use of italics and omit the blank line between paragraphs. My brain switches gears and I usually stop reading at that point. Or I just skim the rest. I wonder if others feel the same way? Anyway, it’s your blog, and of course up to you how you format it, but that’s my reaction to what I regard as a good resource.
@Boogaloo: I have to re-format every post on Substack after transferring it there, since Substack auto-reformats. Yes, it is sub-optimal. I bold some words to make speed-reading easier.
The original Google blog http://www.johndayblog.com is easier to read, and does not make me have to reformat, when I transfer it from Gmail, which is where I compose.
