Look at this article, dated back in 2008, innovations-report.com/life.... 2008? 16 yrs? Wtf is going on with this? From the article, "describes how scientists successfully used the approach in rats to reverse the symptoms of Machado Joseph Disease (MJD), an untreatable and potentially fatal neurodegenerative disease." I know there's a huge leap from rats to humans, but 16 years? The only reasoning I can come up with is that transferring their findings to humans thus far, has not been successful. And/or, they have not gotten sufficient funding to really continue with the research. Why would that be, when researchers have a proven concept (treatment), albeit in rats?

My take, after they all LIED to us about COVID, why wouldn't they continue to lie to us, and not fund any research that holds promise but doesn't fit their profit mold?

I truly think we have been told to lower our expectations when we should be doing the opposite.
