In every case I have read about, their reasoning is that money for AS is so scarce that spreading it around means there is not enough for their wrinkle on blocking amyloids. They feel duty bound to sabotage anything that might dilute their thing.

If it turns out to be an infection, their whole career has been a waste. Can they even find something to do, then?

It’s too bad all the quantitative easing money isn’t required by law to be directed only at funding basic science research, instead of buying assets. I suspect we would have much better returns.
