It appears that journalists have a short memory.

Only four year ago, Dr. David Graham, associate director in the FDA's Office of Drug Safety gave senate testimony that Crestor was one of five drugs with safety concerns. The drug causes muscle breakdown and renal failure.

Surprisingly, the Jupiter study declared there were no adverse side effects from Crestor. Or at least the adverse effects in the drug group was the same as the placebo group. This is hard to believe since the FDA has issued two advisory warnings about the adverse side effects of Crestor, and a public interest group represented by Sidney Wolfe (Public Citizen) petitioned the FDA to have Crestor banned because of side effects. In addition, Crestor is one of the strongest statins and has the worst adverse effect profile.
