> Treating someone at an early stage is never the goal
This claim is just an opinion. I bet that if we check the real statistics there are lots of cases that show exactly the opposite behavior.

We should remind that making money and winning awards are perfectly legit goals, as long as the work is done honestly.
Working with Alzheimer patients rank probably among some of the most emotionally hardest and more depressive works that I could imagine. We should stop treating scientists as missionary figures that were born to save all of us for free.
- OutOfHere 2y agoThose who don't even see the problem are already corrupted. Early stage treatments at scale can be very possible with cheap preventative bloodwork and inexpensive small molecules. Instead, we have no diagnostics until it's already too late, and then we have 50K/year "treatments" that don't even work. The ones you referred to are not scientists; they're scientific mercenaries.
