Alzheimer’s Research Scandal, FBI Arrests For Breonna Taylor Murder, Afghanistan, w/ Dr Ryan Townley

Your Heard Tell for Friday, August the 5th, 2022 is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern the time we live in by getting to what is really going on beyond the recent headliens involving Alzheimer’s Disease research and misconduct. Heard Tell viewers asked for this story to be covered, and we reached out to Dr Ryan Townely, a clinician and Alzheimer’s disease researcher who participates in clinical research trials and educates medical students, neurology residents, and fellows. Dr Townley will explain the controversies, what headlines are sensationalized, what parts of the stories folks need to pay attention to, and give good facts and information on a disease that rightly terrifies people and is devistating to almost 6 million Americans with no treatment or cure. Dr Townley also talks about what we do know about the disease, the good research and work that is advancing towards treatments and cures, and risk factors and things folks can do in the mean time. Also, the FBI has arrested four current and former Louisville, KY police officers that were involved in the murder of Breonna Taylor during a botched drug raid, and the DOJ is alleging some truly disturbing facts in the charges not only about what happened the night Breonna Taylor was killed in her own home, but the misconduct leading up to the killing, and the coverup the officers involved conspired on after. The drone strike that took out Ayman al-Zawahiri briefly brought Afghanistan back to the headlines, but one year after the fall of Kabul it highlights how the suffering of the Afghan people has been largely forgotten again in western media. We finish the program with a great story of a couple who use their favorite past time to raise over $1.5 million for great causes one dance at a time. All that and more on the Friday edition of Heard Tell.
