    Again, press releases are not the place to get science.

    The point of press releases is to boost stock prices, and that didn’t happen, which says analysts looking deeper into the data are not convinced.

    There is a deep trench of bullshit hype to swim through with pharma data, and the FDA is not the agency to trust any more.

      I will give you that. I definitely am on board with that. People love to link pop sci articles with dramatic headlines, but the reality often isn’t as dramatic. Pop sci articles definitely are one of my pet peeves. People will be like “cure for cancer found!” when in reality it’s just some sort of in vitro testing that destroyed cells. Cancer cells are also killed by bleach and fire, but those aren’t helpful for its treatment in humans lol.

      So I get it lol. I guess I was just playing devil’s advocate for a moment.
