  2. One infusion. One time. Possibly forever. A breakthrough gene-editing treatment just slashed LDL "bad" cholesterol by up to 62% — and the results are holding 18 months later. Published in the New England Journal of Medicine, the small study of 35 patients could reshape how we fight heart disease, which kills 800,000 Americans annually. No daily pills. No repeat treatments. Just one shot. Experts call it potentially "game-changing." Larger trials are next — but the early signs are extraordinary. The future of heart health may have just arrived. #HeartDisease #GeneTherapy #MedicalBreakthrough #Cholesterol #Health #Science #Medicine #NEJM #Innovation #Healthcare nytimes.com/2026/05/25/health/

  12. Update. Three past editors of the New England Journal of Medicine (#NEJM) answer the attack on their journal from #RFKJr.

    (#paywalled)

    "Kennedy claimed that one of us (Angell) said, 'We are no longer a science journal, we are a vessel for pharmaceutical propaganda.' In fact, what Angell said in a 2009 article was that 'it is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published,' due to researchers’ financial ties with pharmaceutical companies."

    The editors also point out that the three journals named by Kennedy happen to have published editorials criticizing the #Trump admin assault of science.
