Neues Alzheimer-Medikament Leqembi auf dem Markt! Könnte es auch gegen "Scholzen" helfen, wie von Merz definiert - gute Absichten verkünden, dann aber verzögern und verhindern? Vielleicht erinnert sich #Scholz dann auch an seine Warburg-Treffen oder gar an das Brechmittel ?🤔💊 #Leqembi #Scholzen #Warburg #satire #lolSPD

Medicare #Ozempic #Leqembi

FDA gives full approval to #Leqembi drug for #Alzheimers #dementia. But it offers modest benefits and there are serious side effects. Is this a smart decision? I’m not smart enough to answer that question, but it’s a good question.
