"Unprecedented Discovery: Medical Transmission of Alzheimer's Disease Uncovered"

TL;DR Summary
A study in the UK has found evidence of Alzheimer's disease being transmitted through medical procedures involving growth hormones derived from human pituitary glands, similar to the transmission of Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (CJD). The research suggests that contaminated growth hormones may have put individuals at risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, with implications for medical procedures involving human fluids or tissues. The findings also raise concerns about the effectiveness of monoclonal antibody therapies for Alzheimer's disease.
