The article says there is increased risk of kidney damage with rosuvastatin compared to atorvastatin. I don't think it is saying there is no risk with atorvastatin.

"Compared with atorvastatin, rosuvastatin was associated with an 8% higher risk of hematuria, a 17% higher risk of proteinuria, and a 15% higher risk of developing kidney failure"

Correct, there is no added risk with atorvastatin beyond the standard risk.
