This isn't actually new. If you know the biochemistry/molecular biology of cholesterol, this is an obvious question - cholesterol is so central to so many other systems that it quickly seems unlikely. Add to that NONE of the landmark cholesterol-CVD studies have ever been replicated. Finally the recent COVID experience has opened up new thinking about the "real causes" of CVD (processes that cause micro-clots rather than cholesterol directly - cholesterol and plagues are only a secondary or tertiary RESULT of these primary processes). Mostly cholesterol links are more linear thinking like "eating fats make you fat" and "all calories are exactly the same" - both untrue.
