New Alzheimer’s drugs bring hope. But not equally for all patients. - The Washington Post
An interesting read. I'd love to see a companion piece on women.

I don't have a subscription, so this was something that popped up in my Google News. Perhaps someone can gift it.

My take on the Washington Post article;
1) The new med at best might slow Alzheimer's
2) Poor diversity of persons in the trial so the results do not apply to black people
This med is very contriversial!
