From what I've read, this statement wasn't actually proven out by this study. What they showed was that 1) adults who ate more eggs had higher cholesterol and 2) their data showed a correlation (not causation) between eating eggs and higher risk of death. They are claiming that people had a higher risk of cardiovascular disease because they had higher cholesterol, not because they ate eggs. It's something of a leap. Especially since the link between cholesterol and heart disease has been pretty much put to bed. Keep in mind that most people that eat eggs are eating the SAD, so there are lots of other correlating factors: high carb diets, T2D, etc. Not to mention a little bit of guilt, aka stress, aka cortisol, every time they eat a $%&# egg, because of stupid stories like this.
