His blog has a category just for discussing Alzheimer's, and he's been talking about ever since he started blogging. So here's a post from 2002 where he points out (somewhat obliquely) that amyloid isn't a proven hypothesis: https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/alzheimer-s-vaccin...

> This is looking like one of the crazy ideas that just might work - stipulating, for the moment, that amyloid really is the cause of Alzheimer's. . .

I'm not sure we knew this in 2002 but antibodies are proinflammatory, possibly as a result of their catalysis of ozoniation reaction.
