The Science of an Alzheimer's Disease Theory Was Questioned. The Results Could Be Devastating.

GURPS · Jul 28, 2022

The science community has taken it in the teeth the past couple of years. The COVID pandemic exposed them as quasi-Democratic Party operatives. Nothing they said was right. The protocols they peddled didn’t work. When people pushed back and questioned these folks, they were met with derision and censorship from major platforms. It turns out that the lockdowns didn’t curb the spread. If you bashed Dr. Anthony Fauci, you were attacking science. Yeah, it was the typical reaction from the philosopher-kings when they get tossed for nonsense. COVID probably irreparably damaged the credibility of the science community. Now, a landmark study on Alzheimer’s disease cited for over a decade by experts could be fake news. As a result, dozens of papers written by a noted scientist studying the illness are also considered suspect (via NBC News):

Allegations that part of a key 2006 study of Alzheimer's disease may have been fabricated have rocked the research community, calling into question the validity of the study's influential results.
Science magazine said Thursday that it uncovered evidence that images in the much-cited study, published 16 years ago in the journal Nature, may have been doctored.
The findings have thrown skepticism on the work of Sylvain Lesné, a neuroscientist and associate professor at the University of Minnesota, and his research, which fueled interest in a specific assembly of proteins as a promising target for treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Lesné didn’t respond to NBC News’ requests for comment, nor did he provide comment to Science magazine.
