>> Long story short, although I'm skeptical of the business incentives around associating HSV1 with something as scary as Alzheimer's, I welcome more research around understanding HSV1.
If this is proven, I imagine almost all the funding for Alzheimers getting diverted to curing HSV1. That would suck for one group of researchers while being a boon to another - as well as half the world population with HSV1. Shingles (adult chickenpox) is also in the herpes family.
I wonder why that hasn't been possible so far. HSV has a huge impact on people's lifestyles in the US. You'd think just about everything would have been attempted by now to address it.
