Probly great for the rich
Right now the majority of the doses are being pumped into Biden as fast as they can produce them
Joe's taking pills, injections and suppositories all at the same time.
Martin Skarilli prices, I mean if that's how much it costs for hope. I hope I die tonight in my sleep, but honestly the dental implants I need cost more so I was hoping for that anyway.
<What a great opportunity, I’m getting $250k returns every two weeks from my $10k investment.
My father has severe Alzhimers AND Dementia- he is already in a zombie state- so he would not qualify for this medication even if we did have the money to get it. I would never risk brain swelling, bleeding & death for how he is now…gentle, kind & happy to have an ice cream cone. Dad doesn't know who we are- but its remarkable when he picks up his guitar or sits at the piano and plays every note as well as he did on stage. AMAZING!!! I do truly wish with all my heart that this medication will give families back their loved ones
Pfizer had this in 2009. Bapinuzamab. Literally cured my wife. Doubled her cognitive scores , walking , talking again putting words to the symptoms in body.
Then they cancelled study several conversations with global clinical lead for studies her scores were legit but company said placebo affect and tossed her to the woodpile.
Money they spent wasn’t worth it …..
It works on early onset. You actually develop in your 30’s and 40’s. Unseen but the plaques start then.
Dr Thomas McCrae with Pfizer.
Do your due diligence NBC and investigate.
Pfizer seemed to profit well from some other experimental drug recently that used NONE OF THE FDA APPROVAL PROCESS THAT HAS PEOPLE STROKING OUT WITH CLOTS. HMMMM
The formula is the same, whether we are fighting Alzheimer’s or plain old age: Use it severely — or lose it — mind and body. Not complicated and also not easy. But easy is for the grave.
Oh that price is so wrong 😢
What kind of good news is it if people can't afford it?
Wow. Why its so expensive. As we all know anly the rich can afford it. We you and I will never be able to have this type of treatment. 😔😔
Is this the one that increases the risk of brain bleeding?
Edit: Yeah, that’s the one. You all know we’re meant to die eventually, right? Live well, die with dignity.
Right, so how many Alzheimer's are going to be
Wow but it is good in the long run
sorry you lost all credibility with the vax bs
That price is BS
the zombie apocalypse begins.
So they can live 6 months longer in misery and not knowing who they are.
This could really change politics 😍 Imagine voters and candidates who know where they are and what they're doing!!!
Enact Medicare for All and make this drug Affordable for All.
Of course there is a catch !! A financial catch
The cost of staying alive is too high. Eat healthy. Exercise. Enjoy the day.
Sounds like the first users are going to be true guinea pigs. We will know the true results in 10 to 20 years.
Better get biden a lifetime supply quick!
Did the White House already buy up the entire supply yet?
Like the last scam, don’t work kills people 🎉
So Ol' Joey's going to push for Alzheimer's rather than the campaign promise of CURING cancer🤥🤬🤥 Oh…forgot it's the norm for Ol' lying Biden🤣😂🤣
No need for that . There are healthy ways to clean out the heavy metal poisonings in the brain.
