The Twisted Research On The New Alzheimer's Drug

This is from an article in the latest Bloomberg Businessweek Magazine June 21. Aducanumab has been approved by the Food & Drug Administration.

"...it may be only minimally effective if it works at all." The evidence from the clinical trials that the drug reduces Alzheimer's is incomplete... All of which makes the announcement this month perplexing and wrong. Biogen INC. plans to price the drug at $56,000 per year for the average patient, it also stands to cost Medicare and other insurers a bundle."

"The agency (FDA) did not deny that the clinical trial evidence was poor. It simply ignored the problem and used different reasoning to grant the drug "accelerated approval."

Despite all the shay stuff surrounding the drug, the testing, the approval and the company Biogen will sell the drug Aducanumab under the name Aduhelm. So despite it being unproven and super expensive Medicare is poised to do it. Under current law allow pharmaceutical to charge and collect high prices until a merely promising drug is proved to be of no use.
 

"Accelerated Approval?" Almost sounds like a vaccine.
The first order of business after investing a lot of money in studies & clinical trials is making that investment back before there can be any profit.
So, it doesn't really matter how effective or safe the drug is; with that much money at stake, they'll find a way to get it approved. And big perks for doctors to prescribe it is part of it.
 
People are understandably desperate for new and more effective treatments for Alzheimer’s, but this shouldn’t provide license to circumvent normally rigorous approval procedures. Many newer drugs are already priced beyond the means of consumers to foot the bills for what insurance won’t cover...
 

IMO, prescription drugs are one of the biggest Scams in the nation. There are certainly some drugs that are necessary and effective in treating a given illness, but many of them seem to be just dedicated to increasing the profits of the drug companies. These endless tv drug commercials have brainwashed many into believing that a "magic pill" is a substitute for trying to lead a healthy lifestyle.

I couldn't have said it better, Don! :love:
 
There is no drug that can prevent the damage to the brain caused by Alzheimer's.

If you were given the diagnosis that you had Alzheimer's, but there was this drug that'...it may be only minimally effective if it works at all." And not only that, it was expensive, too. Considering the brain pictures above, would you take the drug? One chance is a lot better than none.
 
Twenty to fifty years ago saw a huge boom in successful new drug development. Since that time, there have been fewer promising drugs in the pipeline. That's why we're seeing insanely expensive new drugs, sketchy vaccines such as shingles and HPV, redundant vaccine boosters with no studies showing necessity, criminal level jacked up prices on Epi-pens which have been around for years. Big Pharma had it's heyday and is missing the money from those years but are determined to continue to rake it in. There's a reason they beat out other industries in congressional lobbying dollars ...and that's the aboveboard money we know about.

Aluminum nano particles from vaccinations are found in the brains of Alzheimer's patients.
If vaccines are the cause, then Alzheimer's is not a disease, but a condition which is caused by the vaccinations.

In all fairness, studies have shown aluminum from other sources such as canned sodas and antiperspirants are also linked to Alzheimer's. But ...those sources can be mitigated by lifestyle choices while there's no alternative to aluminum in vaccines.

I would not hand over $56,000 for a no guarantee of results and slowing its progress is not my idea of service rendered.
 
Alzheimers could be a lot of things. I even read too much alcohol could be a cause. Others circulation. Lack of use. I'm leary of 'the' cure for anything. I'm happy if it works, helps etc but 'the' cure nah.

No doctor is going to "guarantee" anything. Why do you think you have to sign a waiver for surgery that says there is a chance this might work, and a chance it won't. In medicine , there are no guarantees..

Worse yet is their ability to shut down or vilify cheaper, safer, more effective and readily available drugs.

Yes. Like the push to replace low dose aspirin therapy for stroke and cardiac risk patients with $500+ a month Elquis though Eliquis is specific for deep vein thrombosis and atrial fib. They're both anticoagulants, but aspirin is perfectly acceptable for most people in the risk factor group. Aspirin is also anti-inflammatory which benefits us as we age.

A perfect example of this is plain old aspirin. The medical profession hates it - not because it is not effective or bad in some other way. It is vilified because it is too cheap (no one can make any money from it) and because it works too well for too many symptoms/ailments. When was the last time you heard "take two aspirin and call me in the morning"? Instead you'll get a prescription for an expensive drug with dozens of possible side effects and the doctor can report to the salesman that he prescribed so should be rewarded in some way.

"but this shouldn’t provide license to circumvent normally rigorous approval procedures. "

That door was opened with the covid vaccine.

I just lost a long time friend to it. The slide downward in his health was hard to watch.

His family was naturally devastated .

My sympathy for your loss rgp, condolences to his family. Many years ago I lost my aunt, my mother's sister, to Alzheimer's.
 
I won’t swallow stories about vaccination causing Alz.A very dear relative of mine had it in his 80s and I know that the only vac he ever had was a smallpox when he was very young.
He ended up passing on from prostate CA.
