(For some reason I am being blocked from replying with my original account which is BS. Nothing I said was inflammatory or rude unless HN mods believe in groupthink.)

Yes, the treatment doesn't work and the studies show as much. But because people with Huntington's are desperate for any sort of treatment (rightfully so, it's a horrible disease), they don't want anyone to impede this therapy.

Uniqure is selling a so-called treatment to desperate patients looking for even a minuscule probability of a treatment and Prasad demanded that there be more evidence before the therapy gets more approval.

Uniqure's therapy consists of neurosurgery and injecting gene therapy deep into the brain. They claim that it slowed the disease but the same therapy compared to placebo had no better results.

Prasad was gain completely data driven, but to whoever just reads the news, they somehow believe that Prasad is against science which is complete bullshit. Everything you read about the therapy is that it doesn't work, and shouldn't be approved. He is PROTECTING us from bad drugs and therapy based on DATA.
