This weeks news includes good things from a certain perspective but a hellish nightmare from others.

The best example of this is the autistic brain organoids. These are a problem for anti vaxxers since they are going  to struggle to explain how vaccine cause autism in this situation where the organoid does not have a vaccine. The good side is that it does raise possibel proof of current theories and ways to use that information.

In a similar development it is possible an already existing and approved cancer medicine can be used for dementia. As there are few treatment options for dementia this a major deal.

Of course not all news is good.

Removing ovaries pre menopause appears to have more adverse effects then those expected. In this case it has a negative effect on the brain.
