Why would anyone think this works

“Lecanemab attacks the sticky gunge - called beta amyloid - that builds up in the brains of people with Alzheimer's”

This has been debunked as being the cause of Alzheimer’s . I should be surprised, the press gets every tech article I read totally wrong as well

Said better than I can. I think it’s blind hope flogging a biological model that’s not useful. https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/lecanemab-and-alzh...

I'm really excited about this. My mom died of Alzheimer's. I wouldn't wish that on anybody.

Same. Really sucked.
