Even if you are right, you are using the tone of a conspiracist. You are this close to posting, "They don't want you to know!"

Maybe dial it back a bit? You can be firm in your opinions and have more success in convincing others if you avoid vaguely worded accusations and the like.

Some conspiracies are true. There are billions on the line. Why is it so hard to see?

You aren't helping your case. You type like someone who puts pictures up on their wall with red string between them.

I don't think a conspiracy is necessary here. Three factors are at play:

1) It needs research. That takes a long time. 2) If its successful and good, the effects need to be studied in patients for years to understand the long term impact 3) Capitalism is going to try and optimize for profit, not for welfare. Which is the point you are making, except... it's not conspiratorial. Capital absolutely is out in the open about this.

That is missing the point. The underlying biological mechanism is rock solid. Engineering is needed to make the procedure less invasive, and to do it well enough to produce results.

It won't help the underlying AD pathology, but it's a workaround to mitigate some of the harm. It should in principle work better if done early before large deposits form in the brain.

> Capitalism is going to try and optimize for profit

This in no way allows spreading falsities and FUD about competitive prospects. It is not excusable.

		If the two points you've posted are true, point me to some replicated studies that say so.

No, you lie and provide nothing to this conversation.

Literally in the article which you clearly only skimmed and did not READ "Hong is now running his own trial in South Korea and says that he is finding the same spectacular gains in some individuals, although not in everyone."

That's very much mixed results.

		Of course a filter is needed to determine the right candidates. It is so for any surgery. You have nothing original to add.
