Is it true that there is a drug interaction between lipitor and messenger RNA vaccines making these vaccines less effective?

Hello,
I have been taking lipitor 10 mg for 12 years now.

Hello,
This is the first time I have heard of this interaction. I did check the literature and there is no interaction between messenger RNA vaccines and cholesterol medications (such as lipitor).
Acetaminophen, when taken as a pain preventative before the vaccine, could on the other hand decrease the effect of messenger RNA vaccines. It is the only drug reported that can decrease the effect (if taken before receiving the injection).
