The numbers suggested in this article (and to be clear, what you have linked is not a study - it is a discussion by graduate students in a PT/exercise science program. Not to disparage them, but this is not primary research) do not match the results we see in actual RCTs or meta analysis of them.
See the bottom half of my comment at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45446913 - significant muscle damage is exceedingly rare, and ~90% of the muscle pain reported in the RCTs ended up not being related to the statins at all.
Your claims are simply not backed by the data. These are some of the most prescribed and studied drugs on the planet.
