🧵 Thread on my statin research 👇🏼

Our analysis in @JAMAInternalMed
21 statin trials, 143,532 participants

The benefits of #statins were minimal & most trial participants who took statins, derived no clinical benefit.

We respond to a critique by @PeterAttiaMD of our systematic review and meta analysis of #statin trials

Proposed guidelines in the UK recommend #statins to all adults if “the person is happy to take a statin”.

Here’s why it’s a bad idea 👇🏼

Do statins cause muscle aches?
~ 50% of patients stop their statins within 1yr of commencing therapy, mostly because of muscle problems.

But a major study published in @TheLancet concluded that statins are rarely to blame.

See why I disagree tinyurl.com/2n69678u Image
Experts proposed that #statins should be available over the counter.

Cardiologist Robert DuBroff and I disagree. 👇🏼

Here is a documentary I produced about cholesterol, statins and heart disease, which led to powerful vested interests calling for its censorship. Featuring @RFRedberg @DrJohnAbramson & more

📢The silencing of scientific curiosity
Medical journals have became enforcers of orthodoxy—retracting genuine hypotheses while protecting proven fraud.

Why is a 'hypothesis' a threat to science?


@SabinehazanMD @Jikkyleaks @Kevin_McKernan @MdBreathe @newstart_2024blog.maryannedemasi.com/p/the-silencin…Image
As a scientific writer and researcher, I’ve witnessed the decline of medical journals firsthand. I interviews Rita Redberg, ex-EIC of @JAMAInternalMed, Richard Smith ex EIC of @bmj_latest and John Ioannidis, the most cited scientist in the world blog.maryannedemasi.com/p/are-medical-…Image
Never have I seen a more absurd example of this decay than the retraction of a hypothesis paper—yes, a hypothesis—authored by @SabinehazanMD in Frontiers in Microbiology.
In May 2023—more than a year after the article was peer-reviewed and published—the journal retracted the paper following a series of complaints on PubPeer, offering only a vague explanation about “scientific soundness.”Image

🚨Surge in brain tumours among nurses at Boston hospital triggers urgent inquiry

*More cases are coming forward*

Renowned cancer researcher @weldeiry calls for a full-scale inquiry—including potential Covid-19 vaccine-related risks @TheChiefNerd @btysonmd @Jikkyleaksblog.maryannedemasi.com/p/surge-in-bra…Image
.@CBSNews first reported at least 10 nurses had been diagnosed with brain tumours—some malignant, others benign—with three requiring surgery.

But the hospital disputed these figures, stating there are only 5 confirmed cases.

I contacted a nurse who worked at Newton-Wellesley for nearly a decade and was recently diagnosed with a brain tumour revealed that at least 17 individuals had come forward and were undergoing assessment.

Nurse's union @MassNurses said, “We are speaking with many, many more nurses and gathering their medical records."
The @newtonwellesley in Boston stated:
“The investigation found no environmental risks linked to the development of brain tumours...We can confidently reassure our dedicated team members and all our patients that there is no environmental risk at our facility.”

But the union said the investigation as “completely inadequate,” launching its own inquiry.

“We’re seeing reports of different types of brain tumours,” said the @MassNurses representative. “There may be environmental hazards, past or present, such as asbestos exposure or radiation… It’s too early to rule anything out.”

💥FDA’s top vaccine chief Peter Marks is out the door amid vaccine safety disputes and looming legal challenges💥

Read about his troubled legacy at the FDA 👇


@Jikkyleaks @MdBreathe @nicksortor @RobSchneider @MikeBenzCyber blog.maryannedemasi.com/p/fdas-top-vac…Image
Peter Marks blamed the newly minted Health Secretary @RobertKennedyJr for his exit.

“It has become clear that truth and transparency are not desired by the Secretary, but rather he wishes subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies,” Marks wrote. Image
Image
Throughout the pandemic, Marks proved himself to be an unwavering champion of Operation Warp Speed—a project that fast-tracked vaccine trials, cut corners on safety testing, and bypassed essential trial site and manufacturing inspections.

He repeatedly pointed to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) as proof of rigorous safety monitoring, yet failed to improve its efficiency.

He authorised Covid-19 mRNA vaccines for young people without testing for meaningful clinical outcomes—basing the decision on immunobridging data of antibody titres, which even he admitted was a poor correlate of protection against Covid. bmj.com/content/379/bm…

🚨New evidence of DNA contamination in mRNA vaccines – too big to ignore

Data from a lab in the Czech Republic showed - in some cases - the DNA contamination exceeded the amount of mRNA itself

@Jikkyleaks @Kevin_McKernan @MdBreathe @RobertKennedyJrblog.maryannedemasi.com/p/new-evidence…Image
Dr Soňa Peková, clinical biochemist and molecular geneticist with 71 published papers, detected excessive amounts of residual DNA in both Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. 10letters.org/CzechResearch.…Image
Even a student study at @US_FDA's own lab found DNA contamination exceeding regulatory safety limits by as much as 470 times. Yet, authorities continue to downplay the issue.

🔥Gardasil on Trial:
Did Merck Mislead the Public on Cervical Cancer Prevention?

Top expert delivers a damning report accusing Merck of misleading the public about Gardasil’s ability to prevent cervical cancer.


@eileeniorio @ChildrensHD @MdBreathe
@Jikkyleaksblog.maryannedemasi.com/p/gardasil-on-…Image
Dr Sin Hang Lee states: There is no conclusive evidence [no RCTs] that Gardasil has prevented a single case of cervical cancer in the past 18yrs.
@Merck relied on surrogate markers of pre-cancers, such as cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN2/3).
But most CIN2/3 lesions resolve naturally.Image
Two studies - from Sweden and Scotland - are cited as proof that Gardasil reduces cervical cancer.

Sensationalist media headlines claim “No cervical cancer cases in HPV-vaccinated women.”

But Dr Lee cites numerous methodological flaws that undermine these conclusions - see full article blog.maryannedemasi.com/p/gardasil-on-…Image

💥Court Documents Reveal “Undisclosed” Adjuvant in Gardasil vaccine
@Merck's Gardasil vaccine contains an unapproved immune booster—kept secret from the public. A lawsuit is exposing the cover-up.

@Jikkyleaks @Kevin_McKernan @MdBreathe @RealCandaceO @elonmusk @TheChiefNerdblog.maryannedemasi.com/p/court-docume…Image
Dr Sin Hang Lee notes the presence of HPV DNA in Gardasil makes the vaccine far more immunogenic. @Merck was aware of this, and failed to publicly disclose it.

High levels of HPV DNA fragments left over from the manufacturing process act as a second adjuvant—which has not been approved by any regulator worldwide.Image
.@Merck took deliberate steps during the manufacturing process to preserve and protect HPV DNA, ensuring it would end up in the final product.

VLPs with HPV 18 DNA were omitted from the "disassembly/reassembly" stage - a purification step.
