Betteridge's Law of Headlines
So the answer is "no" in this case?
The answer is "no", in multiple ways in this case. Is this an exercise drug? No. This is a drug meant to stimulate the effects of exercise for people with Alzheimer's. Does it clearly work for that purpose? No.
You can pretty much just not open articles with headlines in this format. If there was exciting news to report, the headline would say that instead.
Makes total sense!
