The apotheosis of BuzzFeed clickbait consumerism is Think Tank clickbait imperialism
"We lost the war, but we won the Effie Award for most inclusive war messaging"
Lol, I went to the Effie website after cracking that joke and look what I found:

1\ Watching the world hallucinate a COVID emergency made me understand that 1984 was a documentary, and I wanted to know what experiences led Orwell to write it.

I'm just now hearing about HSV1 (cold sores) being implicated in Alzheimer's, and about antivirals being effective in treating Alzheimer's

The claims are dramatic. Too good to be true?
If the effects are as large as claimed, is there any reason why everyone with HSV1 and at least one e4 variant of the APOE gene shouldn't continually be on prophylactic antivirals?
Here's the most recent paper I see on the claimed linkage

You can also find studies casting doubt on it
