I don’t agree that this is the real deal

What I meant is that we finally have a disease-modifying drug for humans. It opens a lot of possibilities. I do agree though that benefits for the patient are limited for the time being (unless we can prevent Alzheimer's for pre-symptomatic symptoms, but that remains to be proven).
