That whole article Stat10 article is a lie. The amyloid hypothesis is strong and based on a lot of evidence, there is strong evidence of amyloid involvement from DECADES before 2006 and after it. There was a paper in 2006 that was fraudulent, but that dealt with a particular oligomer AB*56 that was made-up and nobody else confirmed even existed. The 2006 paper claimed that AB*56 was one of the amyloids that caused Alzheimer's --- that's all it did. The amyloid hypothesis was strong before that paper and remains strong after. The active area of research is which types of amyloid fibrils or pre-fibrils (there are many) cause the problems.
From this reference: https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/...
[That study] "represents a small area of amyloid research and an even smaller area of dementia research. Although these allegations are a concern, there is a huge amount of credible research evidence behind the amyloid protein’s role in the diseases which cause dementia."
"Apart from the research in question, there remains a vast amount of robust scientific evidence, which supports the view of amyloid contributing to Alzheimer’s disease."
