Every time a cool new molecule with interesting lab results comes out, we get stories about how it's going to Prevent All Diseasepic.twitter.com/76UTTVxGwF
In a decade, we may be seeing one or two interesting treatments from these pre-clinical trials in cells in petri dishes Only about an 8% chance of that, but it's a chance
Nonsense quotes like this are irresponsible. The media loves them because it's an authority making a grand claim, but the reality is that this molecule will almost certainly go on to be another marginally effective treatmentpic.twitter.com/kcTgJKoUMq
What's FAR MORE LIKELY than these scientists discovering the holy grail of medicine is that they've discovered another cool molecule that does interesting things in a lab, but which has limited/no therapeutic benefit in actual living people
Also worth noting that the current news stories appear to not be based on any new research, it's basically just a marketing promotion by the lab to capture fundingpic.twitter.com/WABpBfj8NN
