good thing here (probably) as we need help with this. it's a plague.

now if only they could get docs to stop prescribing medications that are known to cause brain damage and or dementia (statins, lyrica, neurontin, etc).

Yeah going to need to see some evidence on this one.

Any risk of statins is far outweighed by the benefit they provide. And I haven't seen anything confirming the risk proposed by that commenter.

The plaques are not the problem - been proven for 20 years that you can remove all the soluble and insoluble beta amyloid and there is no clinical benefit but because beta amyloid chains integrate into blood vessels, there is cranial hemorrhaging. This mAb is no different and should not have been approved, IMO.
