I think the link has shown up in the statistics for a long time. The article mentions Ruth Itzhaki being on it for 40 years. But things seem delayed by something along the lines of politics/corruption, or by the complexity of the situation with HSV1 not being the only cause. It can become a mess https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/24/opinion/alzheimers-fraud-cure.html https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/24/opinion/alzheimers-fraud-...
I'm hoping that AI helps sort this stuff out. It can read the papers and say hypothesis A is most likely even if professor Y had built an empire on it being hypothesis B.
- giantg2 2y agoHSV1 is estimated to affect more than 80% of the population, but less than 80% have dementia. This seems to imply there are other factors at play. Maybe it requires other factors like genetics or immune issues for it to progress.
