Biden Blood Babble

Was musing over Joe Biden’s weird statement: “Are there people in the Republican Party who think we’re sucking the blood out of kids?”

Could just be more Bidenbabble or maybe some convoluted reference to vaccinating children, but then I thought about Tony Wyss-Coray and his work at Stanford and his company, Alkahest.

You all may recall that back in 2014 Professor Wyss-Coray mated the circulatory systems of an old mouse and a young mouse, resulting in large improvements in the physical and mental health of the old mouse. They ran some tests on a small number of people with Alzheimer’s a few years ago, and the young blood treatment seemed to help some of them. The press made a lot of stupid vampire jokes about it, and then promptly forgot about it though the research continues.

Fast forward to Joe Biden’s non sequitor: perhaps the notion of young blood treatments for dementia patients was on his mind.

Can’t imagine why.
