The FDA has just approved a new treatment for early Alzheimer's that's being billed as the first potential "cure" that addresses the root cause rather than just treats symptoms.

The drug, aducanumab, could provide hope to millions of patients and families impacted by the terrible disorder.

However, there are numerous controversies surrounding the medicine and its approval.

First and foremost, not one of the FDA's advisers recommended approving it.

I am all for "right to try", etc. But if Sharyl is right, this reeks of Big Pharma paying off regulators.

Maybe someone has a personal interest in it.

Someone in high... "elected" office, to use the term loosely.

Someone who is actually in a position of authority over the FDA.

Maybe someone like that might want some of this stuff. You know, just for academic purposes.

I’m wondering if BiteMe is on it.

If it comes out that his handlers have access to an experimental Alzheimer’s drug or drugs...

And it’s not like Deep State or Dr. Mrs. BiteMe would have any probs using the POTATUS as a human lab rat.

Side affects for Forgetforshit may include death, exploding organs, uncontrollably bleeding, brain hemorrhages, sudden arteries in the head, exploding, earlier onset of dementia, but you are old and a burden on Social Security and Medicare so who cares? Consult Dr. Fauci for any comforting lies and mass deception.

Is Forgetforshit right for you? Who cares? You won’t remember taking it anyways!

Now reclassify as Alzheimer’s Vaccine, escape liability, and require for everyone over 55!

They’ll line up bleating to get their shots.

Add proof to the cruise vaccine passport.

Report outbreaks of dangerous Alzheimer’s variants across the world.

Issue annual booster shots that are required to stay up to date and continue to have freedom of movement.

Include ingredients you do not reveal to limit population and pacify independent thinkers.

I don’t know anything about this drug but see that it’s name ends with a ‘mab’ , which means it’s a monoclonal antibody.

That’s pretty much standard operating procedure...:-(

You guys are Science Denying Conspiracy Nuts.

The FDA is the arm of the United States Government empowered to approve and regulate medicines, using the best Scientific Evidence to safeguard the health of the American People.

For example, they approve vaccines.

Don’t need that when it is an emergency to keep sippy-cup joe somewhat coherent. I bet sippy-cup joe took a massive dose just before the debates with Trump.

He was certainly on something, with pin-prick pupils he was zapped with something.

More Population Control from Bill Gates and Big Pharma.

I thought decent people objected to the idea of a "Master Race"?

The drug, aducanumab,

Oh, c'mon! Do you expect an Alzheimer's patient to remember that? At least give it the backward name of "bamunacuda" which can sound like "barracuda" so folks would have a chance of remembering the name of the drug. Make them long, thin grey pills.

"Take two barracudas before you go to bed..."

Follow the money. Someone(s) involved in approving it are going to get rich from it.
