>> so we should expect to see heart disease deaths decrease as statin use increases, right?

That totally depends on what else is going on. If you could isolate all other variables, I think it is likely although correlation and causation are two different things.

But you can't isolate all variables. As people have ramped up their use of statins, they have also become more obese and it is possible, as you say, there are side effects of statins.
