re: Aaron Hernandez had "severe" case of CTE

Here's the thing about CTE... We know these TAU proteins exist but we don't know what they actually do (a lot of assumptions have been made but no legit science). We also don't have any legit studies of the regular population so there's no control group.

This bothers me a great deal because I was a concussion advocate before that shite was cool due to my own and am still a concussion advocate. BUT right now the shite we here about CTE is largely without evidence to back much up. The best study that was done was completely self-selected - meaning families who suspected problems sent things in. Again that's terrible science.

We need this shite fixed but we need evidence to do it. Assumptions and guesswork don't cut it in science. Those proteins could be a sign of another issue - we simply don't know. Fund the hell out of it - get the military involved because they have an even bigger concussion problem and let's work from there.
