The vaccine doesn't stop Alzheimers disease but it can help reduce some of the catastrophic effects of it. We are still a long way from finding a genuine cure but the fact we can slow down the deterioration of the brain cells is fantastic news.

There will have to be one more larger trial but if that is a success, this may become one of the main ways to combat Alzheimers. It may take decades to find a cure but this is a huge leap forward.

Looking good, hopefully this vaccine does not have any harmful side effects rendering it a failure. Also would be interesting to see how this is implemented into society.

it will be cured within 20 years, there was a breakthrough in the type of cerebral palsy Irish people suffer from too, Irish people usually suffer from a unique variety.

There are a whole host of new techniques that are creating breakthrough after breakthrough in all sorts of areas, Even cancer and Aids wont be around forever.

False alarm, they forgot where they put the research.

This is a phase I trial. The word "success" is incredibly misleading - they basically showed people made antibodies to A beta and the vaccine didn't overtly kill people (Phase I is safety).
