We should thank the antivaxxers. There was a suspicion for years that vaccines over age 60 reduce the incidence of neurodegenerative diseases but due to high uptake, a control group was not obvious, nor ethical to impose.

Now, the control group has appeared and vaccines, especially Shingrex, lower Alzheimer incidence by 20-30%.

In fact, vaccines work far better than the last two FDA approved antibody therapies for dementia costing $26000 a year.

This was a very promising route to prevent neurodegenerative diseases but Trump ironically cut all this research in 2025. So he'll die of literal brain rot, because Tony Fauci make him feel inferior.

I'm wondering if it's really the vaccine or if what makes you vulnerable to the antivax idea also makes you more prone to neurodegenerescence.

Jesus Christ, the Nurglites have come out of the woodwork in this thread.

As a guy who runs Nurgle, this is genuinely quite hurtful.
