In a critical boost to President Joe Biden's reelection prospects, the Food and Drug Administration has approved a new Alzheimer's drug that "may modestly slow the pace of cognitive decline," according to the New York Times.
Biden, the first octogenarian president in American history, is expected to formally announce his plans to seek a second term sometime next month, thus setting the stage for a potential rematch against Donald Trump.
The president is going to need all the help he can get to mitigate the rapid deterioration of his brain before Election Day in 2024, which is probably why his administration fast-tracked the new Alzheimer's drug, Leqembi, using its "accelerated approval" designation. The new drug also carries some risk, as a significant percentage of patients in clinical trials experienced swelling and bleeding in the brain after taking Leqembi.
Whereas Trump has no discernible flaws, Biden has been widely criticized as "too old to be president." He would be 86 by the time he left office after two terms and has already exceeded the average life expectancy for American males by several years. His cognitive decline is glaringly obvious to anyone who has watched him attempt to speak in public. A recent CNBC poll found that 70 percent of Americans, including a majority of Democrats, don't want Biden to run for reelection.
Biden has repeatedly refused to subject himself to independent testing that could shed light on his cognitive health, or lack thereof. When CBS reporter Errol Barnett asked Biden in 2020 if he would take a cognitive test to allay voter concerns about his health, the then-candidate responded by accusing the black journalist of being a "cocaine" "junkie."
Trump, by contrast, is renowned for his superhuman stamina and has aced every cognitive test he's ever taken. An esteemed doctor famously described him as "the healthiest individual ever elected president."

Just in time. biden better start taking it if he wants a chance in 2024
Doesn’t matter if it works, as long as Pfizer makes money.
He’s too far gone.
Is slo Joe trying it out? He could sure use something.
If you’re driving 90 mph into oncoming traffic, more speed doesn’t help much....
That juxtaposition of Biden and Alzheimer's made me think this was a Babylon Bee headline.
Not just fast tracks, but also has there been quashing or slow walking approval of promising drugs from smaller companies w no political juice?
Biden is too far advanced for this drug.
The only thing more dangerous than a tyrannical dictator is a tyrannical dictator with Alzheimer’s............
“ Doesn’t matter if it works, as long as Pfizer makes money.”
How would Pfizer make money?
I don’t even know where to start with that one. SMH
I thought this was a Bee article.
Side effects include...brain bleeding....brain swelling...Thanks but no thinks. How could they approve this in any way, shape or form??
“How could they approve this in any way, shape or form”
Just like the Vax.
The cure for everything-—MRNA Vax with a mask.
“Pfizer” is my shorthand for the medical-industrial criminal complex.
