Even if the science isn’t fully there yet, this seems well into the realm of “almost certainly can’t hurt”.

Would be ironic if the trial shows that the drug works after all this. But that seems incredibly doubtful. This guy should go to prison for a long time. That’s 1,800 people in a trial who could have been taking a non fraudulent drug that has a better chance of working.
Is there a better and non-fraudulent drug out there? I’m not asking to further an argument, I’m asking because I have a family member with this disease.

At best, maybe, progress gets slowed. A little.
The amyloid hypothesis researchers have done grave damage to general society in their intransigence to abandon a position that has been proven over and over to not lead to useful treatments.
I know in a lot of past submissions here about academic fraud, a good chunk of the comments wondered how it wasn't a punishable crime. Well, now we know the answer! I hope we get a lot more of this. Given how much of academic funding is provided by the government, it's not unrealistic to think that the feds can break the back of academic fraud by pursuing more of these cases. The burden these people cast on society i…
In particular, there is no attempt (in these specific charges) to seek conviction or punishment for "hurting people by delaying science, drug studies or treatment" - which would be justified in such circumstances. Don't know if there is current law that could be thrown at that. Probably yes.
There will be certainly time to take that into account in sentencing. The court may not go easy on that guy.
Anyway, yes, a good start.

People who followed a pattern of eating all of their food across less than 8 hours per day had a 91% higher risk of death due to cardiovascular disease.
That just fails the laugh test. That can't possibly be true.

There is only this published abstract: https://www.abstractsonline.com/pp8/#!/20343/presentation/37...
(which does not contain the 91% by the way; though it is reported widely. perhaps it was in the presentation).
Here is a page with expert reactions (most are skeptical)

tl;dr: I don't believe a word of it.
