https://www.nationalgeographic.com/...anemab-is-eliciting-both-optimism-and-caution
At first blush, the accelerated approval of a drug that promises to attack Alzheimer’s at its root offers great hope for millions of people suffering from the progressive mind-wasting disease.
But a number of scientists caution that benefits have not been overwhelmingly proven and that side effects are dangerous and not fully understood. Three patients who participated in the clinical trial have died.
Is the treatment, which will cost $26,500 a year, safe and effective? That's what we’re exploring.
