Holy hell. Someone please correct me, but the beta-amyloid camp has been under attack, establishment researchers still keep going despite weak evidence, and now the best drug they have might have fabricated data???
Nope. It wasn't evidence for a drug that was fabricated, it was a 2006 study published in Nature that convinced everyone to believe the amyloid hypothesis.
No, it's not. It was introduced in the 90's. "The amyloid hypothesis was first proposed in 1991 by John Hardy and David Allsop." You're probably thinkinng of the person who "discovered" Alzheimer's disease (Alois Alzheimer).
