This has been watched for a while, and researchers have found that those with higher cholesterol and high blood pressure as a result as well, when prescribed any Statin to reduce their cholesterol level, they reduce their chances of getting really sick from covid by 40%.
It's not the drug itself that does it per say,
It's that these Statins reduce the cholesterol levels of those with high levels, and covid is spread in your body by attaching to cholesterol cells.... Less cholesterol cells, less rapid spread within you....IF I AM UNDERSTANDING IT CORRECTLY! And less high blood pressure, another high risk.
THIS is good news!
But the op article in the consistently untrustworthy Gateway Pundit is GARBAGE, political trash....
Experts say statins may help with COVID-19 because they lower blood pressure, reduce inflammation, and keep in check other underlying conditions
