💉 The Financial Times ran a widely-reported and very alarming story yesterday headlined, “Alzheimer’s was passed between humans in now-banned procedure, study finds.” Headlines about the study generated a lot of overheated social media chatter yesterday.

A new study published in Nature Medicine yesterday, reporting that scientists studied patients who, when they were kids, received cadaver-extracted human growth hormone. They found two clusters of disease: a few kids who got Mad Cow (Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease), and a different handful who later suffered from early-onset dementia.

The researchers concluded that the human growth hormone administered to the kids had been contaminated with misfolded proteins called amyloids or prions, and that under the right circumstances it could potentially spread. But the article rapidly reassured readers that they no longer give kids any human growth hormone extracted from cadavers, so there’s nothing to worry about.

Or, is there?

Alert readers noted a quiet trend in recent headlines. Here’s one example, from Canadian Global News, published just last week:




Predictably, the experts are baffled about this alarming new problem. Maybe they should get checked for Mad Cow. Anyway, the Global News article explained that, based on a new study from the Canadian Alzheimers’ Association, “a growing number of Canadians are developing dementia in their 60s, 50s, 40s and even earlier, and experts are not sure exactly what is behind the worrisome rise.”

Last year, absent-minded scientists held an entire symposium on childhood dementia, which urgently called for accelerating treatment options...

But the baffling increase in early-onset dementia was not as mysterious to some folks. For example, we’ve seen case reports linking the jabs to Mad Cow:










Remember “nonsense proteins?” A number of independent researchers are alarmed about the mRNA’s recently-discovered tendency to produce random misfolded proteins, which they worry is a recipe for dementia.
