What's The Deal With Monoclonal Antibody Therapies for Alzheimer's?- UPDATED | Medical News Bulletin Monoclonal antibody-based therapies, such as Donanemab, and Lecanumab, have been heralded as a huge step forward in the fight against dementia, but are the results too good to be true?

Alzheimer’s docs announced some encouraging news at the 2025 AAIC in Toronto… monoclonals are performing better than skeptics predicted. So what are monoclonals and why were people cautious? Neuroscientist Dr Georg Hafner explains medicalnewsbulletin.com/lecanemab-do... #EndAlz, #alzsky 🩺,⚕️🧪 🧠

yeah we’ve already covered that ground extensively. How about reading the article and engaging with the interesting research instead .

it’s not relevant to my readers that you in particular have to pay for it. If you want to complain about your access to healthcare do it in an appropriate venue not in my replies. This applies to everyone. If you want to engage it’s ok, but make sure it is productive and relevant to the article.

I am going to assume that this is an honest question. There is a technique in writing and rhetoric called a “rhetorical question”. It is a question for people to ask themselves, it does not need an answer. I’m not sure what you thought you would achieve by giving what sounds like a hostile answer.

OK is that a reason why people who aren’t in the US can’t know about it?

My job is to get hold of those paywalled articles and translate them into a story non experts can understand! We go to a lot of trouble to go deeper into methods and implications than a normal news story! medicalnewsbulletin.com

PS it’s an editorial policy of mine that we don’t use AI!

It makes me sad, use there are publications like ours-Medical News Bulletin- that go out of their way to get hold of the paywalled articles and write them up for non experts, but we find it so difficult to please google so nobody can find us!

Dad's deregulated DNA implicated in autism inheritance | Medical News Bulletin Do dad's genes contribute to autism? A new study pins a significant component of a kid's risk of autism on mutations in their father's DNA.

This is an old article I came across while tidying the website… While I’d say some parts a little outdated, it does explain why pinning down the genetic causes of autism has been taking so long medicalnewsbulletin.com/genes-father... 🧪 🧬

Thank you, I agree, well meaning people in general are very quick to try to solve ‘problems’ but we need to step back and check whether it’s actually a problem first.

Re your deleted reply: I’m not sure there was dual messaging, the evidence is pointing towards autistic traits arising from the physical structure of the brain and how it developed. I’m not sure there is anyway you could “cure” that. It’s also not necessarily disabling. Do we need to cure it?

Further to your comment, the word “disability” was used once in the article to describe the experience for a subset of people whose autism is disabling.

Hi Greg, those are quotes from the director of Autism Canada who herself is autistic. Could you explain what’s odd about it?

Why universal COVID-19 vaccine guidance offers stronger protection than high-risk-only policies The US Scenario Modeling Hub’s nine-team ensemble projected COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths for April 2024 to April 2025 under six policy and immune-escape scenarios. Burden was similar to the pr...

Routine vaccination for COVID-19 reduces hospitalization and deaths much more than vaccinating only high-risk groups.

sorry Keith I’m lost, could you go back a page in the story? I think I missed a chunk of context. What are you telling me to research about glycophosphates?

Thank you for sharing!

In my opinion they are choosing not to notice the excellent research done by the Karolinska and NYU/Grossman that has demonstrated through sibling discordance that it’s most likely in the genes.

The thing is though, for at least 10 years a positive correlation between paracetamol and autism has been showing up in cohort studies so the FDA did put out a warning in 2015. Only last year was a very good paper published that showed the relationship was indirect. You could argue they don’t know.

Thank you!

Hi Keith, I’m not sure what you are talking about? There is evidence that herbicides are correlated with Parkinson’s disease but based on the research papers I have read, most of the risk for autism comes from genes, whether inherited loci or mutations that occurred in sperm before insemination.

? Ok what’s that got to do with people sharing potentially damaging health and wellness articles they haven’t read?

I’m kind of shocked that people can think that science institutions and papers are apolitical. We are only able to do research on things that our governments and private donors want to fund and how the research is framed is tailored to the politics of funding agencies or the review panels.

It’s a fair point! Autism is a variation of being human, maybe it’s time to think about how we communicate with each other & how we can make it easier for people whose brains work differently to get along. We don’t force left handed people to write with their right hand any more… things can change.
