@baldur That’s incredibly shocking and disappointing, especially if it was done in the name of pharmaceutical profits with no benefit to patients. That’s akin to ethical and criminal negligence.

@pimoore Alzheimer's "treatment" is largely about selling dubious remedies to desperate people. Business as usual in the pharma world, I'm afraid.

@JMaxB I feel awful for the patients who got their hopes up taking a treatment that’s not only ineffective, but potentially harmful.

@pimoore If you want to feel awfuler, read up on the pharmaceutical industry's knowingly killing 100s of thousands of people with prescription opiods. Aided by a cast of paid-off politicians etc. of course.

@JMaxB Unfortunately I live in a drug-plagued community, so this is already too familiar to me.
