@ProfTimNoakes @jacknicklaus The website has one section to scare and all the others to sell. It omits any mention of the cause of this illness. Good example of a pharma sales campaign

@jacknicklaus Golf legend and steaming pile of shit human.

@jacknicklaus My work in immunology makes me acutely aware of ATTR-CM's diagnostic challenges. Nicklaus leveraging his platform accelerates the early screening protocols that make stabilizer therapies truly effective.

@jacknicklaus Sounds like another cascade med from statin damage.

@jacknicklaus And does family history screening make sense if someone gets diagnosed ?🙄

@ProfTimNoakes @jacknicklaus Isn't this heavily Covid vaccine related?

@jacknicklaus I am willing to bet Jack's cholesterol is below 200, which is not healthy for older folks. Those with higher cholesterol and low triglycerides have longer, healthier lives.
