Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

ah yes, aduhelm (aducanumab), probably first drug that FDA approved despite zero evidence that it works, but they wanted to push something, anything that maybe perhaps will show some marginal benefit (it was discontinued few months ago, but in time it was for sale they raked in some serious undeserved money). understandably this made a lot of people very angry, especially people that make drugs that work https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/aducanumab-approval https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/goodbye-aduhelm
and can you guess why it was discontinued? it's because that company has new, equally useless antibody, that also got approval, but has none of that pr stink around so they can repeat entire process again
