Yes, but taking a medication should at least reduce your risk of death and the sole purpose of a statin is to lower lipids(the stuff your body uses to make energy) and that does not lower mortality rates at any level.

Relationship between lipid levels and reduction in all-cause mortality
Figure 4 depicts the relationship between the relative risk of death and lipid levels across different studies. No significant relationship was observed between mean baseline levels of LDL-C and the relative reduction in all-cause mortality across studies (P = .97). Similarly there was no material relationship between mean LDL-C reduction and reduction in all-cause mortality, whether assessed in relation to absolute (P = .62) or percentage reduction in LDL-C (P = .46).

Statins and All-Cause Mortality in High-Risk Primary Prevention: A Meta-analysis of 11 Randomized Controlled Trials Involving 65 229 Participants

Background Statins have been shown to reduce the risk of all-cause mortality among individuals with clinical history of coronary heart disease. However, it remains uncertain whether statins have similar mortality benefit in a high-risk primary prevention setting. Notably, all systematic...

If you can't take the lipitor, you can't have the bacon.

How can you have any pudding if you won't eat your meat?
