The drug was being pushed into trials by its manufacturer, Cassava Sciences, but a group of scientists who reviewed the drug maker’s claims about Simufilam believed that it was exaggerating the potential. So they did what any reasonable person would do: They purchased short sell positions in Cassava Sciences stock

Pair this with the Replication Crisis and I suspect a significant percentage of “Scientific Research” performed in capitalist countries since the late 90s is fraudulent, capitalism and science mix like oil and water, only state funded and led projects like from the Cold War can be trusted to suppress the creep of profit motive

And this is just the hard science, I already also suspect most western Historiography on Socialist states and any history that touches on capitalism in general is based on fabrication and ideological conditioning, not any honest historical research

To quote the Trillbillies, we’re in one hell of an epistemological crisis

This is an interesting story to see at exactly the same time as Cuba is finding successful treatments for it. We should make sure these two things are connected for people.

In Capitalism Alzheimers research was sabotaged and millions were condemned to a terrifying and hellish way to die.

In Communism Alzheimers research found a treatment that will genuinely improve millions of lives .
