$26,500/yr for a drug that doesn't actually help a person with dementia.
How many times is the FDA going to approve beta amyloid lowering drugs that have no benefit to disease? isn't lowering beta amyoid and not affecting disease just proof, in humans, that the beta amyloid hypothesis is wrong?
Not to mention that the original research on amyloid beta has now been proven to have been "doctored" and quite conclusively at that, why they continue to pursue drugs that clear it behooves me. Literally throwing billions of dollars into trash.
The original study was doctored, but plenty of others with similar results weren't.
