Presumably, a newer generation of anti-amyloid or anti tau agents. There are current gen ones (targeted monoclonal ab ) which aren’t that incredibly effective but there’s some thought that maybe that’s due to treating the wrong patients at the wrong time, vs starting therapy earlier on

Didn't it turn out that the amyloid plaque hypothesis was based on a fraudulent paper?

or young folks are passionate, idealistic, lack real-world experience, and idolize heroes, which makes them perfect foot soldiers for carrying out tasks without questions.

This is exactly what happened when Obama was elected, btw. Cult of personality is a dangerous thing from either end of the political spectrum.

Do the reasons for firing them (looked it up, over 11,000 !) even matter?

Because the remainder and future employment prospects for ATC simply looked at how they were treated and how they had absolutely no options and decided to NOPE NOPE out of that profession.

And so here we are:

naming airports after people whose actions eventually led to the specific reasons for the disaster

You said "Reagan fired thousands upon thousands of ATC because they dared to ask for proper wages." All I did was correct you, and I didn't do so rudely. The rational reaction would be, "Huh, this issue is more complex than I initially thought. I should learn more about it."

There are privately-employed air traffic controllers?

The salaries were in comparison to the private sector. TBH I'm not sure what jobs & ages they chose to compare Federal salaries to the private sector. Seems kinda arbitrary. Perhaps it was in comparison to private sector union workers?
