The road to find an effective treatment for Alzheimer’s has been long and tortured. Established industry titans have spent many years developing promising drugs, only to see them fail in late-stage trials.

Reducing inflammation is a promising approach to Alzheimer’s disease. In addition to drugs that could turn off the inflammatory mechanism, research needs to pay much more attention to the multiple triggers that can turn it on.

So if they knew this, why put these in vaccines?
