This is the breast cancer doc from Memorial Sloan Kettering who had to resign over not disclosing financial conflict of interest about 2 yrs ago. And then he went to AstraZeneca.... I'm sure there's a story here, just need to find it.
My brother said the rare disease he died of, or one with very similar symptoms can be caused by eating human brain tissue. That would probably qualify as "a story" if true.
So there's a group of degenerative neural diseases that Jacob-Creutzfeld (or Creutzfeld-Jacob) Disease (the stated cause of death of Baselga) is part of, that Kuru is also a part of, which is the one transmitted by eating infected human/animal brains. They're also grouped as Prion diseases, which are 'transmissible spongiform encephalopathies'. The 'story' I was wondering about was his relationship with AZ. He was oncology head, did he also have anything to do with the vaccine arm of the company, and any shenanigans there ? Or did he really die of CJD? That's a scary diagnosis to have, for him and his contacts. Are they trying to scare people with a fake cause of death? Are they doing character assassination after death? Who knows; clown world we're living in...
