I discuss the safety and efficacy of the newest Alzheimer’s drug treatments, aducanumab (Aduhelm) and lecanemab (Leqembi).
This is one of the more egregious examples of Big Pharma manipulation. It reminds me of flibanserin (Addyi), the drug marketed for “hypoactive sexual desire disorder” in women.

After "OxyCofin" got approved, you can't expect much from the FDA
Sung to music…Money, money, money, money……money!
FDA stands for, For Fiddling All.
Similar corruptions going on with vaccines
All but 1 said no, but the FDA approved it anyway. Remember the name of that drug.
Google the drug & the first hit is the Alzheimer's association pumping it up!? Other medical institutions do better.
“This approval shouldn’t have happened,” said Dr. Vissia Viglietta, a former Biogen senior medical director, who helped design the two late-stage clinical trials of the drug. “It defeats everything I believe in scientifically and it lowers the rigor of regulatory bodies.”
FDA….fraudulent drug approval
yikes!
Dr. Greger, could your team please update your Daily Dozen App to reflect all of your new findings?
The App should be changing along with all of your new information.
Thank you so much for all of your hard work and efforts to help us stay as healthy as possible 💖💖💖
Is it a wonder people fell for vaccine lies? It’s hard to trust our medical system.
Yikes. That's so disturbing. Thank you for sharing <3
This is why I have sympathy for anti-vaxxers, even though I'm not one myself.
Wait, doesn't the FDA recommend a pLaNt BasEd Diet too ? Another reason to do the opposite.
Almost as bad as the CDC recommending circumcision
This is why the FDA can't be trusted smh.
What prenatal is free from iron biotin vitamin a and vitamin E safe for pregnancy (T Colin Campbell says vitamin a pill trials were cut short due to people dying from lung cancer) as well as vitamin E in vegan omega 3 supplements with vitamin E increases mortality and biotin supplements causing high blood pressure- how can fda allow iron in prenatal supplements causing Alzheimer’s as Neal Barnard states
Trump gutted the FDA’s regulatory power and Biden has simply continued Trump policies.
Didn't MEdicare rates increase because this drug was added to the approved list?
Plaque isn't the cause, it's tbe body trying to protect itself against elevated insulin levels over time and that's the cause of Alzheimer's, not amyloid plaque.
Obviously somebody owns this company's stock………….
